Access Bus : A 4-wire serial bus using the I2C bus as the electrical hardware interface. The maximum speed is 100kbps over a maximum cable length of 10 meters.
Acquisition Bus : A generic term but not an interface-bus.
ADB Bus : [Apple Desktop Bus] was a serial bus used by Apple computer to drive the mouse and keyboard. The 4-wire cable had a maximum data rate was 125kbps. The ADB bus was replaced by Firewire and is OBSOLETE.
AdvancedTCA Bus : ATCA is a Chassis/Backplane based Telecommunications bus.
AES/EBU : [Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union] is one of the common names for a digital audio transfer standard. The standard is also known as XLR because the AES/EBU digital interface is usually implemented using 3-Pin XLR connectors, which happens to be the same type connector used in a professional microphone. One cable carries both left and right-channel audio data. AES/EBU [www.ebu.ch] is an alternative to the S/PDIF standard.
AFDX : Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet.
AGP Bus : The Accelerated Graphics Port bus is used as a chip-to-chip Computer Local Video Bus. The AGP bus was derived from the Parallel PCI bus with a few additional signals. AGP 8x uses a 533MHz clock with 32 bytes/clock, and has a Bandwidth of 2.1GB/s [0.8V signal swing]. The AGP bus was replaced by the PCIe Bus.
AMBA : A SoC Bus used with an IP Core Bus.
AMC Bus : [Advanced Mezzanine Card]; a Mezzanine Bus/board format.
AMR Bus : [Audio/Modem Riser] The specification defines a hardware scalable OEM PC mother board riser board and interface, which supports both audio and modem. An MR slot will provide a Modem function, while an AMR slot will provide both an Audio and Modem function.
Apple Computer Buses : May include one of the Apple, Macintosh or MAC Computer Buses.
ASI : [Advanced Switching Interconnect]; A Fabric bus.
ASCB : [Avionics Standard Communications Bus].
ATA Bus : The IDE/ATA Personal Computer [Parallel; PATA] cable Bus is used for Hard drives, Floppy and CD drives. The top speed is 133MBytes/sec over an 18 inch Parallel cable. The ATA interface was replaced by Serial ATA which uses 4-wires instead of 40.
ATM Bus : [Asynchronous Transfer Mode]; The ATM uses Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH), and DS-3/E3 as the physical medium.
AUI : [Attachment Unit Interface] An Ethernet connection; Apple Computer AUI Pinout.
Aurora {: A SoC Bus, used with an IP Core Bus.
Automotive Bus's : MOST Bus, J1850, D2B, CanBus, IDB1394, FlexRay, and OBDII.
Avionics Bus's : ARINC, SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-1760, and MIL-STD-1776.
