Term
| why are buffers often needed on the address, data, and control buses in a microcomputer system? |
|
Definition
| There is a possibility of overloading the microprocessor's address or data bus when they are connected to external memory. Hence for this reason buffers are used to prevent overloading (increase Fan-out). |
