SUBJECT: Structure of the bus (Tasks of typical control)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document contains information on the tasks of typical function of the bus, to which will
give them his respective definition and will help us to understand of concrete way each one of
them. The bus of system is constituted, usually, between fifty and one hundred lines. To each
line assigns him a meaning or a particular function. Although they exist I gaveseos of buses
very diverse, in all they the lines can classify in three functional groups lines of data, of
directions and of control. Besides, they can exist lines of feeding to supply energy to the
modules connected to the bus.
The lines of direction use to designate the source or the destinor of the data situated in the bus
of data. For example, if the processor wishes to read a word (8 ,16 or 32 bits) of data of the
memory, situates the direction of the word wished in the lines of directions.
The lines of control use to control the access and the use of the lines of data and of directions.

REFERENTIAL FRAME

The lines of control employ to manage the access and the use of the lines of data and
direction, signposting requests and recognitions and indicating that type of information
goes through the lines of data.(Belenguer Aparicio, s.f.)
The signals of control transmit so many orders like information of timing between the
modules of the system. The signals of timing indicate the validity of the data and the
directions. The signals of orders specify the operations to make.
Some lines of typical control are:(Stallings, 2005)

MemoryWrite: The data of the bus write in the position addressed.

 MemoryRead: Does that the data of the position addressed situate in the bus.

Writing I/O: Does that the data of the bus transfer through the port of And/S
addressed.

I/O Read: Does that data of the port of And/S addressed situate in bus.
 Transfer ACK: Indicate that the data has accepted or has situated in bus.

Bus Request: It Indicates that a module needs to have of the control of the bus.

Bus Grant: Indicate that yields the control of the bus to a module that had
requested it.
 Interrupt Request: Indicate if there is a pending interruption.

Interrupt ACK: It Signals that the pending interruption has accepted.

Clock (Clock): Sand uses to synchronise the operations.

 Start (Reset): Put the modules connected in his initial state

CONCLUSIONS
The lines of control give due to the fact that it has to exist some form to control
the use since the lines of data and directions are shared by all the devices
connected to the bus.
Each one of the lines of control are important since determine the one who
accesses to the lines of data and directions.
Each line of control contains a structure of interruption for the transmission of
data and instructions.
