Computer system operates the computation on the digital signals but the user sends analog signals to the computer system. Interface Units are basically used for the conversion of the signals in the computer system so that mutual communication and understanding can be established between environment and computer system. Interface Units are of two types:
1. Input Interface Unit:
Input interface unit is a type of interface unit which is used in computer system to convert analog signals into digital signals. It basically converts the user signals into signals used by the computer system.

2. Output Interface Unit:
Output interface unit is also a type of interface unit which is used in computer system to convert digital signals into analog signals. It converts computational signals used by the computer system into the user signals.
