Master Multi‑Pin Single‑Wire Time‑Division Multiplexing: Dive Into Bus Communication Fundamentals

Project description

Tweet 1. The Historical Origin of the BUS Bus Early computers were bulky and had complex wiring, with all data transmitted via physical cables, as shown in the following figure: The "programs" on the ENIAC were defined by the states of its patch cables and switches, a far cry from the stored-program electronic machines that came later. Once a program was ready to be run, it had to be mechanically set into the machine through manual resetting of plugs and switches. The programmers of the ENIAC were women who had been trained as mathematicians. This is the world's first programmable…
