Bus Control refers to the management and coordination of data transfer between different components in a computer system, particularly in relation to the system bus. The system bus is a communication pathway that connects the CPU, memory, and input/output devices. Effective bus control ensures that data is transmitted efficiently and without conflicts, allowing the system to operate smoothly. In a computer, bus control is typically handled by a component known as the bus controller. This controller regulates access to the bus, determining which device can send or receive data at any given time. By managing these interactions, the bus controller helps maintain system stability and performance.
