Answer to Question #267081 in Electrical Engineering for Anan Ahmed

Question

"Strobe control mechanism for asynchronous data transfer does not ensure whether the

data transmitted by source unit is accepted by destination unit." Suggest possible

enhancement(s) to this mechanism to overcome this limitation.

Answer 1

Control of the strobe. A single control line is used to time each transfer in the strobe control technique of asynchronous data transmission. Either the source or the destination unit can activate the strobe. When a valid data word is available on the bus, the strobe sends a single line to the destination unit.
