 SERIAL DATA TRANSFER

Serial data transmission is generally the transmission of data in which , the data bits are organized
in a specific order, since they can only be sent one after another. The order of the data bits is
important as it dictates how the transmission is organized when it is received.
•
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.
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.
MODES OF SERIAL
COMMUNICATION:
• In serial communication, data is in the form of binary pulses. In other
words, we can say Binary One represents a logic HIGH or 5 Volts, and
zero represents a logic LOW or 0 Volts. Serial communication can take
many forms depending on the type of transmission mode and data
transfer. The transmission modes are classified as Simplex, Half Duplex,
and Full Duplex. There will be a source (also known as a sender) and
destination (also called a receiver) for each transmission mode.
• Simplex: in which the data can flow only in one direction.

• Half-duplex: in which the data can flow in two directions, but not at the
same time
• Duplex: data transmission mode in which the data can flow two ways at
the same time.
HOW THE TRANSMISSION
OCCURS:
• Serial data transmission sends data bits one after
another over a single channel. 
• If bytes are transmitted in this method, then data
is broken into 8 bits and then the transmission
occurs.
• In this case , the LSB reaches the receiver before
the MSB.
• All the bits are transferred serially , maintaining a
definite order(LSB TO MSB).
CHARACTERISTICS:

• Serial transmission requires a single line to send data.

• There are fewer errors and less noise in serial transmission, since the transmission is done one bit at a
time.
• Serial transmission is slower since data flows through a single line.
• Mostly used serial transmission is ‘full duplex’ since the sender can send and receive data at the same
time.
• The cables used in serial transmission are thinner, longer, and more economical compared to the cables
used in parallel transmission.
• Serial transmission is reliable and straightforward.
EXAMPLE OF SERIAL DATA TRANSFER:

• Serial transmission is normally used for long-distance data transfer.

• Serial communication is used for all long-haul communication and most computer
networks, where the cost of cable and synchronization difficulties make parallel
communication impractical.
• The migration from PCI to PCI Express is an example.
• Connections between a computer and a modem using the RS-232 protocol .
SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER

• Synchronous serial communication describes a serial communication protocol in which

"data is sent in a continuous stream at constant rate. "Synchronous
communication requires that the clocks in the transmitting and receiving devices are
synchronized – running at the same rate – so the receiver can sample the signal at the
same time intervals used by the transmitter. No start or stop bits are required. For this
reason "synchronous communication permits more information to be passed over a circuit
per unit time “ than asynchronous serial communication.
HOW IT THE DATA IS TRANSMITTED:

• Data bits are transmitted as a continuous stream in time

with a master clock. The data transmitter and receiver
both operate using a synchronized clock frequency;
therefore, start bits, stop bits, and gaps are not used.
This means that data moves faster and timing errors are
less frequent because the transmitter and receiver time is
synced.
• Sender sends data as one long bit stream or block of
data .The receiver counts the bits and reconstructs the
bytes.
CHARACTERISTICS:

• Bytes are transmitted as continuous blocks .

• In this case, there is no start and stop bits
• Clock pulse plays an important role in the transmission of data.
• It is one of the fastest method to transmit data .
• There are no gaps between characters being transmitted .
• Ensures that the transmitter and the receiver are in step(synchronized) with one another.

•Synchronous transmission would be the transfer of a large
text file. Before the file is transmitted, it is first dissected into
blocks of sentences. The blocks are then transferred over
the communication link to the target location.
