Asynchronous communications system

From Free net encyclopedia

In telecommunication, an asynchronous communications system (start-stop system) is a data communications system that uses asynchronous operation.

  • In an asynchronous communications system, extra signal elements are usually appended to the data for the purpose of synchronizing individual data characters or blocks.
  • The time spacing between successive data characters or blocks may be of arbitrary duration.
