The system bus is designed to implement communication between the processor and external devices in the computer using special control devices - adapters or controllers. All the latter are connected to the system bus using standard connectors. Tires are usually divided into three categories according to their functional purpose: address, information and control, which differ in bit depth, that is, the number of data passing through them. The type of device used is largely determined by the speed of the computer.
