What is the serious definition of a "BUS"?

[sweesw]

sounds that a net/wire with multiple drivers is called a "BUS".

 

[omara007]

or simply a vector of signals like std_logic_vector in VHDL ..

yeah .. BUS means a bunch of wires connecting 2 or more things...
need not have multiple drivers..

May be u can use elementary electronics forum for basic quesions

It's not justa buch of wires/signals. There has to be a relation between them, like in databus, addressbus, controlbus. Usually in a bus, the signals are Tx/Rx synchronous, but that's not necessaary.

between what ????????????????? :!:

like in databus, addressbus, controlbus. .

these are different type of busses .. from a higher perspective

Bus is just a bunch of wires......
if u pass data thru it u call it a data bus
if u pass address thru it u call it a address bus
or control bus . if u pass control signals ...

Usually in a bus, the signals are Tx/Rx synchronous, but that's not necessaary.

I didnt understand what u meant to say .. either u r confused or trying to confuse others.......

2 types of busses .. synchronous(uses a clock ) , asynchrnous (no clock used )


Hey another kewl definition is here :twisted:

[delay]

typically implies more than one wire connection, usually a bunch -- also carries the impression of "high-speed."

I think point-to-point connection can only be called connection, not bus. For bus, at least there is a master, and a slave. And is able to extended for more slaves or masters.

need not be...

 

[amarnath]

a bus is just a group of signals...nothing more nothing less...
