10. Serial Communication Overview The process of sending data one bit at a time sequentially over a communication channel. Overview The process of sending data one bit at a time sequentially over a communication channel.

11. Why use serial? Benefits Ideal over long distances –Much cheaper than Parallel Can Operate at a faster frequency than parallel Synchronization Difficulties Reduced –Less wires to worry about Benefits Ideal over long distances –Much cheaper than Parallel Can Operate at a faster frequency than parallel Synchronization Difficulties Reduced –Less wires to worry about

12. Purpose for Synchronization Synchronization must be established for data transfer to occur. www.quatech.com/support/figures/comfig12.gif tor_End.jpg

13. Two Basic Types Synchronous Regulated by an external clock –Requires an extra wire for clock signal Asynchronous Regulated by special signals along transmission lines Synchronous Regulated by an external clock –Requires an extra wire for clock signal Asynchronous Regulated by special signals along transmission lines www.quatech.com/support/figures/comfig12.gif tor_End.jpg

14. Synchronous Utilizes two different signals on separate lines –First signal is clock signal that is shared between the two devices –Second signal carries the data Utilizes two different signals on separate lines –First signal is clock signal that is shared between the two devices –Second signal carries the data

15. Asynchronous Signals are specified by predetermined data transfer protocols. Preset frequency between devices –Signaling sequence specifying beginning and ending of signal Frequency set at beginning of transfer –Signaling sequence specifies beginning and ending of signal as well as transfer rate Signals are specified by predetermined data transfer protocols.
