PERIPHERAL DEVICE

Computer, are called peripheral

equipment and auxiliary devices
connected to the CPU independent
of a computer.

Both are considered peripheral units
or devices through which the
computer communicates with the
outside world as the systems that
store or archive information, serving
as auxiliary memory from main
memory.

PERIPHERAL DEVICE
TYPE
The peripherals can be
classified into four main
categories:
INPUT DEVICE
OUT PUT DEVICE
STORAGE DEVICE
COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
INPUT DEVICE
Are those that serve to enter data into the computer for
processing. The data are read from the input devices and
stored in main memory or internal. The input devices
convert information into electrical signals that are stored in
main memory.
Capture and send data to the device
Keyboard Microphone Joystick
Scanner Mouse Light Pen
Web cam

Mouse

The main function is to transmit mouse movements
of your hand on a flat surface toward the computer
Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
Scanner
A scanner is neither more nor less than the eyes of
the computer. Its function is to capture images,
which are almost identical
It is the most common device input. It is used to
enter commands, text and numbers
Keyboard

Light Pen

Pointing device that enables you to hold on the
screen (photochromic) a pen that is connected to
the computer with a click at the top or a side
button by which you can select information
displayed on the screen

Micrfonos
Responsible for transforming acoustic energy into
electrical energy, enabling therefore the recording,
storage, transmission and electronic processing of audio
signals.
Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
Outpu Device
Output peripherals are devices that display or project
information to the outside of the computer. Most are to
inform, alert, report, plan or give the user some
information, in the same way are responsible for
converting the electrical impulses in human-readable
information.
Some examples are:
Monitor

Printer

Speakers

Projector

Proyector
A device that plays on a movie screen previously
prepared reconstituting the sensation of
movement.

Monitor
It is the device that shows the images generated by the
computer's video adapter or computer. The term monitor
usually refers to the video screen and its casing. The
monitor connects to the video adapter with a cable.
Obviously, it is the screen where the information is
supplied by the computer
Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
Printer
As its name suggests, the printer is a computer
peripheral used to present information in paper
Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
Speakers
It is responsible for converting digital
information processed by our team (1s and 0s)
to analog data, or sounds to be played on
speakers connected to the sound card itself
Ing. Alba Lissette Peguero
STORE DEVICE

are devices that store data and information. RAM can not
be considered a storage device, and that his memory is
volatile and temporary.
Inside a Hard Drive.

They are responsible for saving the data that makes use of
the CPU so that it can make use of them once they have
been removed from the main memory, as it is cleared each
time the computer is turned off. They can be internal, such
as a hard drive or removable, such as a CD. The most
common are: Hard Drive, Floppy disk, Flash or USB
Memory, Computer tapes, Diskettes.

Communication Device
Peripherals are in charge of communicating with other
machines or computers, either to work together, or to send
and receive information.
Its function is to enable or facilitate the interaction between
two or more computers, or between a computer and other
external peripherals to the computer. Among them are the
following:

Modem Network Interface Card
Switch Router
Wireless Card Bluetooth Card
