Understanding Connectors and Pins

Why do modern digital connectors separate electrical and data connections onto different pins?

• To make the connectors look more complex

• To reduce manufacturing costs

• To increase the size of the connector

• To prevent interference

What is the primary reason for using multiple pins for power delivery in devices like CPUs?

• To make the device look more advanced

• To reduce the cost of production

• To allow for easier repairs

• To distribute power evenly and prevent overload

What is differential signaling primarily used for in data transmission?

• To enhance resistance to interference and allow higher data rates

• To reduce the number of pins needed

• To increase the physical size of connectors

• To simplify the design of connectors

What is the function of a clock pin in some connectors?

• To enhance the aesthetic of the connector

• To provide power to the device

• To reduce the overall cost of the connector

• To synchronize the flow of data

What special functionality does the CEC pin on HDMI provide?

• It enhances the video quality

• It enables control of devices like soundbars through a TV remote

• It provides additional power to connected devices

• It allows for faster data transfer
