Serial Vs Parallel Data Transmission (Computer Science Igcse/olevel Chapter 2) Level

The document discusses serial and parallel data transmission, with serial using a single line to transfer data one bit at a time for long distances, while parallel transfers multiple bits simultaneously across multiple lines for faster transmission.

SERIAL VS PARALLEL DATA

TRANSMISSION
BY FARIA
SERIAL DATA
TRANSMISSION
• SERIAL TRANSMISSION IS NORMALLY
USED FOR LONG-DISTANCE DATA
TRANSFER. IT IS ALSO USED IN CASES
WHERE THE AMOUNT OF DATA BEING
SENT IS RELATIVELY SMALL. IT
ENSURES THAT DATA INTEGRITY IS
MAINTAINED AS IT TRANSMITS THE
DATA BITS IN A SPECIFIC ORDER, ONE
AFTER ANOTHER. IN THIS WAY, DATA
BITS ARE RECEIVED IN-SYNC WITH
ONE ANOTHER. SUCH AS USB
PARALLEL DATA
TRANSMISSION

• WHEN DATA IS SENT USING


PARALLEL DATA
TRANSMISSION, MULTIPLE
DATA BITS ARE
TRANSMITTED OVER
MULTIPLE CHANNELS AT
THE SAME TIME. THIS
MEANS THAT DATA CAN BE
SENT MUCH FASTER THAN
USING SERIAL
TRANSMISSION METHODS.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SERIAL AND PARALLEL

• SERIAL TRANSMISSION REQUIRES A


SINGLE LINE TO COMMUNICATE
AND TRANSFER DATA
WHEREAS, PARALLEL TRANSMISSION
REQUIRES MULTIPLE LINES.
• SERIAL TRANSMISSION IS USED FOR
LONG-DISTANCE COMMUNICATION
•Error and noise are least in serial as compared to parallel
transmission. ...​
•Parallel transmission is faster as the data is transmitted
using multiples lines. ...​
