Problem
1. Derive a general expression for the maximum rate (bits per second) at which a bus can operate stating any assumptions you make. Hint: Consider the time taken for a message (e.g., address) to be transmitted from a master to a slave and the time taken for the transmitter to receive a reply.
2. Why is it necessary to terminate a bus with its characteristic impedance?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
