Synchronous Asynchronous Mode

This document compares asynchronous and synchronous data transmission methods. Asynchronous transmission sends one character at a time with start and stop bits between each character, making it slow and inefficient. Synchronous transmission sends packets of data between start and stop frames, making it more efficient by reducing overhead. Synchronous transmission requires synchronized clocks between sender and receiver.

Synchronous -

Asynchronous
Data Transmission
Asynchronous



The sender and receiver are not
Synchronised.
The sender sends only one character at
a time.
Asynchronous



Each character needs a start bit and a
stop bit.
There can be idle time between each
character.
Asynchronous



It is a slow and inefficient method of data
transmission.
It is an inexpensive method for low speed
transmission.
Synchronous

Synchronous
The senders and the receivers clocks are
synchronised.
The sender sends a packet of data at a
time.
Synchronisation is achieved by sending a
start frame and a stop frame.

Synchronous
It is a more efficient method of transmission
as only a start and stop frame are required
with up to 8Kb of data in the packet of data.
Asynchronous has a much higher overhead.

Stop Data up to 8 Kb Start
Frame Frame
