Asynchr Serial Communication

What is asynchronous serial communication primarily characterized by?

• Transmission of data in parallel

• Use of a single data transmission line

• Lack of synchronization control signals

• Continuous synchronization by a common clock signal

In asynchronous serial communication, what does the start signal do?

• Indicates the end of data transmission

• Prepares the receiver for the arrival of data

• Resets the transmitter's state

• Synchronizes the clock signals

What is the common configuration for data bits in asynchronous communication?

• 5 bits

• 8 bits

• 6 bits

• 7 bits

Which of the following is a common use of asynchronous start-stop signaling?

• Dial-up modem access to time-sharing computers

• Connecting to fiber optic networks

• High-speed data transfer between servers

• Wireless communication protocols

What does the '8N1' configuration stand for?

• Eight data bits, no stop bits

• Eight data bits, two stop bits

• Eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit

• Eight data bits, one parity, one stop bit

What is the purpose of stop bits in asynchronous communication?

• To indicate the start of a new character

• To allow the receiver to recover before the next start bit

• To synchronize the transmitter and receiver

• To increase the data transmission speed

Which protocol is commonly used for asynchronous serial communication?

• TCP/IP

• FTP

• HTTP

• RS-232

What is the typical baud rate for asynchronous communication?

• 115200 bps

• 9600 bps

• 1 Gbps

• 100 bps

What is a key advantage of asynchronous communication over synchronous communication?

• Lower latency

• Faster data transmission

• Simpler hardware requirements

• Higher data integrity
