  2. Serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication

    D 0 is received first via serial transmission. All bits are received simultaneously via parallel transmission. In telecommunication and data transmission, serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus.

  3. Parallel communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_communication

    The basic difference between a parallel and a serial communication channel is the number of electrical conductors used at the physical layer to convey bits. Parallel communication implies more than one such conductor. For example, an 8-bit parallel channel will convey eight bits (or a byte) simultaneously, whereas a serial channel would convey ...

  4. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

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

    At the destination, a second UART re-assembles the bits into complete bytes. Each UART contains a shift register, which is the fundamental method of conversion between serial and parallel forms. Serial transmission of digital information (bits) through a single wire or other medium is less costly than parallel transmission through multiple wires.

  5. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

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

    Practically all parallel communications protocols use synchronous transmission. For example, in a computer, address information is transmitted synchronously—the address bits over the address bus, and the read or write strobes of the control bus. Single-wire synchronous signalling

  6. Serial port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

    A serial port is a serial communication interface through which information transfers in or out sequentially one bit at a time. [1] This is in contrast to a parallel port, which communicates multiple bits simultaneously in parallel.

  7. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Parallel resistance is illustrated by the circulatory system. Each organ is supplied by an artery that branches off the aorta. The total resistance of this parallel arrangement is expressed by the following equation: 1/R total = 1/R a + 1/R b + ... + 1/R n. R a, R b, and R n are the resistances of the renal, hepatic, and other arteries ...

  8. Serial computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_computer

    Serial computers require much less hardware than their bit-parallel counterparts [1] which exploit bit-level parallelism to do more computation per clock cycle. There are modern variants of the serial computer available as a soft microprocessor [ 2 ] which can serve niche purposes where size of the CPU is the main constraint.

  9. Serial passage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_passage

    Serial passage is an artificial technique that is used in a laboratory setting, rather than a natural process. Accordingly, the likelihood that the H5N1 virus would actually mutate to become transmissible in humans is unknown; however, researcher Derek Smith created an evolutionary model to show that this is possible.
