serial

a method of transferring data between two devices or systems bit by bit over a single communication line. Data is transmitted sequentially, one bit at a time, over a shared transmission medium.

The device or system that initiates and sends the data.

The device or system that receives and processes the transmitted data.

The technology that connects transmitter and receiver

The _____ converts the data into a serial stream of bits and transmits it

The ______ decodes the received bits back into the original data format

refers to the process of aligning the timing of the sender and receiver to ensure accurate data transmission. It is essential for reliable communication and ensuring that the receiver correctly interprets the transmitted data.

Two main purposes of Synchronization

Types of Synchronization

Synchronization ensures that the receiver samples the incoming bits at the correct intervals, allowing it to reconstruct the transmitted data accurately.
