  2. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_synchronous...

    The synchronous signalling methods use two different signals. A pulse on one signal indicates when another bit of information is ready on the other signal. The asynchronous signalling methods use only one signal. The receiver uses transitions on that signal to figure out the transmitter bit rate ("autobaud") and timing, and set a local clock to ...

  3. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous...

    A universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART / ˈjuːɑːrt /) is a peripheral device for asynchronous serial communication in which the data format and transmission speeds are configurable. It sends data bits one by one, from the least significant to the most significant, framed by start and stop bits so that precise timing is handled ...

  4. Universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_synchronous_and...

    A universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART, programmable communications interface or PCI) [1] is a type of a serial interface device that can be programmed to communicate asynchronously or synchronously. See universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) for a discussion of the asynchronous capabilities of these ...

  5. I²C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I²C

    Bus capacitance also places a limit on the transfer speed, especially when current sources are not used to decrease signal rise times. Because I 2 C is a shared bus, there is the potential for any device to have a fault and hang the entire bus. For example, if any device holds the SDA or SCL line low, it prevents the controller from sending ...

  6. Bus (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_(computing)

    Bus (computing) In computer architecture, a bus[1] (historically also called data highway[2] or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers. This expression covers all related hardware components (wire, optical fiber, etc.) and software, including communication protocols.

  7. Asynchronous communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_communication

    Asynchronous communication. In telecommunications, asynchronous communication is transmission of data, generally without the use of an external clock signal, where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream. [1] Any timing required to recover data from the communication symbols is encoded within the symbols.

  8. CAN bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus

    Unfortunately the term synchronous is imprecise since the data is transmitted in an asynchronous format, namely without a clock signal. The CAN specifications use the terms dominant bits and recessive bits, where dominant is a logical 0 (actively driven to a voltage by the transmitter) and recessive is a logical 1 (passively returned to a ...

  9. High-Level Data Link Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Level_Data_Link_Control

    Synchronous Data Link Control was originally designed to connect one computer with multiple peripherals via a multidrop bus. The original "normal response mode" is a primary-secondary mode where the computer (or primary terminal) gives each peripheral (secondary terminal) permission to speak in turn. Because all communication is either to or ...
