synchronous data transmission

Definition

data transmission in which a clock defines transmission times for data

Notes

  • NOTE 1 Data transmission from originating source is triggered (or happens in conjunction with) a clock pulse or external common event.
  • NOTE 2 Since start and stop bits for each character are not needed, more of the transmission bandwidth is available for message bits.
  • NOTE 3 See also isochronous data transmission (3.2.11).
