In various devices, _____ are used to overcome the difference in data transfer speed.

Asked In: BPSC TRE 1.0

Options

  • A. multiple buses
  • B. buffer registers
  • C. speed-enhancing circuitries
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

B. buffer registers

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer: Buffer registers.

Explanation: Buffer registers temporarily hold data while it is transferred between devices operating at different speeds. For example, a fast CPU can place data in a buffer while a slower I/O device processes it. This helps coordinate data transfers and reduces the need for the faster component to wait continuously.
