    The purpose of a communication link is to resolve differences between the central computer and peripherals by converting signal values if needed, synchronizing data transfer rates since peripherals are usually slower than the CPU, and addressing differences in data codes/formats and operating modes between peripherals and the CPU to avoid disturbing other connected peripherals.

    What is the purpose of communication link is to resolve the differences that exist between the

    central computer and each peripheral.

    1. Peripherals are electromechnical and electromagnetic devices and their manner of


    operation of the CPU and memory, will differ. Therefore, a conversion of signal values may
    be needed.

    2. The data transfer rate of peripherals is usually slower than the transfer rate of CPU and
    consequently, a synchronization mechanism may be needed.

    3. Data codes and formats in the peripherals differ from the word format in the CPU and
    memory.

    4. The operating modes of peripherals are different from each other and must be controlled so
    as not to disturb the operation of other peripherals connected to the CPU.

    What are the three ways that computer buses can be used to communicate with memory and
    I/O?

    i) Use two Separate buses , one for memory and other for I/O.

    ii. Use one common bus for both memory and I/O but separate control lines for
    each.

    iii. Use one common bus for memory and I/O with common control lines.
