Computer bus is a subsystem that transfers data between components inside a computer or between computers.
Modern computer buses can use parallel and bit-serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop (electrical parallel) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.
- AGP interface AGP (Accelerated Graphics port) is a modified version of PCI bus designed to speed up transfers to video cards.
- CardBus 32-bit bus defined by PCMCIA.
- CompactPCI bus PCI=Peripheral Component Interconnect. CompactPCI is a version of PCI adapted for industrial and/or embedded applications.
- FireWire (IEEE1394) bus interface Defined by IEEE 1394-1995 standard as a serial data transfer protocol and interconnection system. Also known as iLink (Sony) or Lynx. Often implemented in consumer electronics devices, digital video cameras, VCRs, some other multimedia hardware and computers.
- IndustrialPCI bus PCI=Peripheral Component Interconnect. IndustrialPCI is a version of PCI adapted for industrial and/or embedded applications.
- ISA bus ISA=Industry Standard Architecture
- Mini PCI bus Mini PCI is an alternate PCI implementation designed for small form factor. It´s specification is a sub-set of PCI standard using 100 pin (Type I/II) or 124 pin (Type III) connector.
- PC Card ATA bus This specification makes it possible to share ATA & PC Card with the same connectors.
- PC/104 bus PC/104 is a compact version of the ISA bus. PC/104 is intended for specialized embedded computing environments where applications depend on reliable data acquisition despite an often extreme environment.
- PCI bus The PCI Bus is a high performance bus for interconnecting chips, expansion boards, and processor/memory subsystems.
- PCI Express 1x, 4x, 8x, 16x bus PCI Express is the new serial bus addition to the PCI series of specifications.
- PCI Express Mini Card (Mini PCIe) PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, and Mini PCI-E) is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor based on PCI Express. It is developed by the PCI-SIG. The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity, and each card uses whichever the designer feels most appropriate to the task. Most laptop computers built after 2005 are based on PCI Express and can have several Mini Card slots.
- PCMCIA (PC Card) bus The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) 16 bit bus
- USB USB (Universal Serial Bus) designed to connect peripherals such as mice, keyboards, scanners, digital cameras, printers, hard disks, and networking components to PC. It has become the standard connection method for scanners, digital cameras and for some printers. Complete pinout.
- USB 3.0 connector USB 3.0 is the successor of USB 2.0. USB 3 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0
- VME64x bus
- VMEbus VMEbus is a computer bus standard originally developed for the Motorola 68000 line of CPUs, but later widely used for many applications.
- ADB Apple Desktop Bus ADB is a low-speed serial bus used on Apple Macintosh computers manufactured in 1986-1999. It's used to connect input devices (such as the mouse or keyboard) to the CPU
- Apple Communication Slot Available on Apple Macintosh 575, 630, 5200 5300 and Apple Performa 6200CD, 6300 series
- Apple Duo Dock Available on Apple Duo Dock & Duo Dock II dockingstations. For use with Apple PowerBook Duo computers.
