Strobe Type Transponder.............

Many of you have heard & read  about Strobe light.......but  have u heard about Strobe Type Transponder.????..... Frankly speaking i have never heard about this during my college.....so i just want to share it......

Strobe in this sense ,is a digital eletronics term ,associated with the parallel data bus wiring .All  the lines in a parallel data bus may or may not contain valid binary value all at once at a perticular instant in time .Some of the individual lines can lag behind others due to timing anomalies in the circuit.The Strobe line is a control line which is usually "active low"(e.g- active when at zero volt or ground potential )and is activated by the transmitting circuit when all the parallel lines have had time to stabilize into a valid binary value across the entire bus .Whatever circuitry that might be reading the bus will know  there exist a stable good value across the bus whenever the strobe line goes low& that's the cue to read the value.
 The gray code lines of an encoder /transponder are a type of parallel data bus which was designed way back in the olden days of digital electronics & hence the presence of a strobe line.
Modern digital electronic devices have a much better ability to read a parallel bus & make a determination when the data on the bus is stabilized & valid by themselves & may not need the assistance of a strobe line just gets ground  all the time.
