  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

    Parallel versus serial communication. In data transmission, parallel communication is a method of conveying multiple binary digits simultaneously using multiple conductors. This contrasts with serial communication, which conveys only a single bit at a time; this distinction is one way of characterizing a communications link.

  4. Data communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_communication

    Parallel transmission is the simultaneous transmission of related signal elements over two or more separate paths. Multiple electrical wires are used that can transmit multiple bits simultaneously, which allows for higher data transfer rates than can be achieved with serial transmission.

  5. 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.

  6. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    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.

    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. Parallel port - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port

    The name refers to the way the data is sent; parallel ports send multiple bits of data at once (parallel communication), as opposed to serial communication, in which bits are sent one at a time. To do this, parallel ports require multiple data lines in their cables and port connectors and tend to be larger than contemporary serial ports , which ...

  9. 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.
