Abstract
An important part of any system is the means by which it communicates with its surroundings. In the case of the digital systems we have discussed in this book, the interconnecting circuits, or interface, may deal with both serial or parallel data, and signals in both analog and digital form. The aim of this chapter is to explain the various methods and devices used to effect this data transfer.
