Study Notes

Asynchronous Data Transfer Scheme

Asynchronous Data Transfer is a technique where data is transmitted without a clock signal, allowing devices to transmit data at their own pace.
The CPU's role in this scheme is to initiate the data transfer and then wait for an acknowledgment from the receiving device before transferring more data.

Techniques Used in Asynchronous Data Transfer

There are two types of techniques used in Asynchronous Data Transfer based on signals before data transfer:
- Synchronous Start-Stop Technique: uses a start bit to indicate the beginning of data transmission and a stop bit to indicate the end of data transmission.
- Asynchronous Character-Oriented Technique: uses a start and stop bit to frame each character, allowing for asynchronous transmission of multiple characters.
