    Peripheral devices can be external like keyboards, mice, printers, and monitors or internal like CD-ROM drives. Input devices like keyboards and mice feed data into the computer while output devices like monitors and printers output data. Storage devices like hard disk drives and flash drives hold data permanently. Keyboards use ASCII codes to represent keys pressed and mice send position signals to move pointers. Scanners convert images to digital form. Monitors display information and inkjet printers spray ink droplets onto paper. Magnetic disks and flash drives are common storage media.

    Introduction To Peripherals

    • A peripheral is a device that can be attached to the computer processor.


    Peripheral devices can be external, such as a mouse, keyboard, printer,
    monitor or scanner. Peripheral devices can also be internal, such as a CD-
    ROM drive, DVD-R drive or modem.
    • Devices are usually classified as input, output or backing storage devices
    Input Device

    • Input Devices can take a variety of forms, from commands you enter from
    the keyboard to data from another computer or device. A device that feeds
    data into a computer processor is called an input device. Examples of
    common input devices are:
    • keyboards, mouse, joystick, microphone and scanner
    Output Device

    • Output Devices can also appear in a variety of forms - text, video, graphics,
    and so on. A device that shows data from a computer processor is an output
    device. Examples of common output devices are:
    • monitors, laser printers, ink jet printers, speakers and headphones
    Storage Device

    • Backing Storage Devices is a device which holds and retains data. These
    devices allow the user to save data in a more permanent way than RAM so
    that data is not lost and may be used at a later time. Examples of common
    backing storage devices are:
    • hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, CD-RW drive, flash memory and DVD-
    RAM drives
    Input Devices - Keyboards
    • A keyboard consists of a set of keys representing the alphabet and numbers.
    The keys are usually laid out in QWERTY style which originates from
    typewriters.
    Input Devices - Keyboards

    • How does it work? The pressing of a key results in the generation, within the
    keyboard, of an 8-bit binary word, representing the character on the pressed key.
    This binary pattern is usually in ASCII code. The ASCII code for the chosen character
    is sent out from the keyboard using serial data transmission.
    • In serial data transmission, a data word is sent one bit at a time, with the whole
    word being made up of a time sequence of 1's and 0's on a single line. This contrasts
    with the parallel data format used on the internal buses of a processor where each
    bit of a word is present at the same time on its own line.
    Input Devices - Pointers

    • Pointing devices have become increasingly important with the introduction


    of GUI and WIMP operating systems. Originally used with graphics packages
    they are now used with almost every type of package.
    • Pointing devices take the forms of trackerball, joystick and mouse.
    Input Devices - Pointers

    • How does a pointer work? There are 2 different ways a pointer can operate.
    It can be a ball mechanism or optical operation using infra-red. As the ball
    or light inside the mouse is moved it sends signals to the computer moving
    the position of the pointer on the screen. When the pointer is in the correct
    position a button on the device can be pressed to tell the computer that you
    wish to access that information.
    Input Devices - Scanners

    • A scanner is a digitiser as it converts graphics and text information into


    digital form. Modern scanners allow high resolution images to be scanned
    using high bit depths. This results in image files which are very large. When
    using a scanner it is important to remember to match the image to its
    purpose.
    Input Devices – Sound
    • The simplest form of input device for sound is the microphone. This involves
    the use of software which samples the incoming signal. An analogue to
    digital converter is required to convert the electrical signals from the
    microphone into ones which can be stored by the computer. This is usually
    done by a sound card which allows the microphone to be attached to the
    computer and sound to be captured.
    Output Devices – Monitors
    • A computer monitor is an output device which displays the information in
    pictorial form. A monitor usually comprises the display device, circuitry,
    casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically
    a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) with LED backlighting
    having replaced cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlighting. Older
    monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT).
    Output Devices – Ink Jet Printer
    • Ink jet, or bubble jet, printers are non-impact, quiet, fairly fast and cheap.
    They operate by squirting small amounts of ink from a tiny nozzle at the
    paper. An electric current is passed across the nozzle which has been filled
    with ink. This causes the ink to flash boil. The resulting bubble expands and
    forces a tiny droplet of ink out onto the paper. The current is then switched
    off which causes the bubble to cool and collapse sucking more ink into the
    nozzle. This process is repeated thousands of times per second responding
    to where a dot is required on the printer
    Backing Storage – Magnetic Disks

    • Magnetic disks have been widely used as a fast


    backing storage media. The capacity of fixed disk
    systems has been growing very fast over recent years
    and the cost per megabyte has dropped dramatically.
    Backing Storage – USB Flash Memory

    • A USB flash memory a memory chip with a USB plug, you plug it into your
    computer, copy the file onto it, then simply plug it into the USB socket of
    the other computer and access the file. They are small enough to attach to
    your keyring and are difficult to damage. Remove the cap and the USB plug
    is revealed. Plug it in and the computer will automatically recognize it. Files
    are stored on it simply by dragging and dropping them onto the icon.
