Asynchronous and Synchronous

This document discusses asynchronous and synchronous digital data transmission modes. Asynchronous transmission uses start and stop bits to delineate each byte, while synchronous transmission synchronizes transmission speeds using clock signals and transmits data as a continuous stream without start/stop bits. Synchronous communication can be either bit-oriented using flag sequences to delimit frames, or byte-oriented using ASCII control characters to transmit data blocks. Examples of synchronous protocols include SDLC, HLDC, and Bisync.

Asynchronous Transmission

Start Bit : 0
Stop Bit : 1

The Duration of Stop Bit is Usually Longer than the Data Bits,
i.e. 1.5 or even 2 more than that od data bit
Synchronous Transmission
A continuous stream of Bits is sent between sender and receiver.
Uses no start and stop bits, but instead synchronizes transmission
speeds at both the receiving and sending end of the transmission
using clock signal(s) built into each component.
e.g Syn Protocols
SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Control)
High-Level Data Link Control (HLDLC)
Byte Counts

Synchronous communication can be subdivided into two


categories:
1. bit-oriented protocol or
2. byte-oriented protocols

In Bit-Oriented protocols, data is transmitted as a steady


stream of bits. A special flag 01111110 is used to delimit
each frame.

Byte-Oriented protocols use ASCII characters such as SYN,


SOH and ETX to control the transmission of data blocks.
