Data Communication

Lecture 20 covers the introduction to interfaces and digital data transmission methods, including parallel and serial transmission. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each method, highlighting that parallel transmission is faster but more costly, while serial transmission is cheaper but slower. The lecture also distinguishes between asynchronous and synchronous transmission, emphasizing their respective characteristics and applications.

Introduction
Q: How do we relay encoded data from the
generating device to the next device?

A: Interface
– Defined by several popular standards
– Physical layer of the OSI model
– Mechanical/electrical/functional
specifications
Digital Data Transmission

 Do we send one bit at a time or do we


group bits into larger groups and if so,
How?
Digital Data Transmission
Parallel Transmission

 Binary data consisting of 1s and 0s


may be organized into groups of ‘n’
bits each

 By grouping we can send data ‘n’ bits


at a time instead of one bit
Parallel Transmission
Parallel Transmission
 Advantage of Parallel Transmission
SPEED

 Disadvantage of Parallel Transmission


COST
Serial Transmission

 One bit follows another, so we need


only one channel rather than ‘n’ to
transmit data between two devices

 Conversion devices are required


at the interface
Serial Transmission
Serial Transmission

 Advantage
– COST
Types of Serial Transmission

 There are two types of Serial


Transmission:

– Asychronous Transmission

– Synchronous Transmission
Asynchronous Transmission

 It is so named because the timing of


the signal is unimportant. Instead
information is received and translated
by agreed upon patterns

 Start and Stop Bits


Asynchronous Transmission
Asynchronous Transmission

 Advantages
– Cheap
– Effective

 Disadvantages
– Slow
Synchronous Transmission

 Data is transmitted as an unbroken


string of 1’s and 0’s and the receiver
separates that string into the bytes or
characters it need to reconstruct the
information
Synchronous Transmission
Synchronous Transmission

 Advantage
– Speed
