    Study Notes

    Asynchronous Communication

    • An optional Parity bit can be included in a frame to help detect errors during transmission
    • The parity bit ensures that the number of bits with a value of 1 is either even or odd, depending on the parity scheme used
    • If the parity does not match upon reception, the receiver can identify that an error has occurred
    • The primary challenge in asynchronous communication is maintaining synchronization between the incoming data stream and the receiver
    • The receiver must sample the incoming data at specific intervals, typically determined by the baud rate
    • This sampling is critical for accurately interpreting the data being received

    Synchronous Connections

    • Data is transmitted in larger frames that consist of:
      • Header and Trailer Flags
      • Control information: metadata that helps manage data flow and ensure proper communication between devices
      • Optional Address Information
      • Error Detection Code
      • Data
    • Synchronous connections are more efficient than asynchronous connections
    • Larger frames reduce the overhead associated with transmitting multiple smaller packets
    • Shared clock signals ensure that both the sender and receiver are aligned in terms of timing

    Functional Component

    • Describes operational aspects of the interface
    • Data Formats specify:
      • format of the data being transmitted
      • encoding schemes
      • data structures

    Procedural Component

    • Encompasses the protocols and procedures that govern the operation of the interface
    • Includes communication protocols, initialization procedures, maintenance, and diagnostics

    EIA-232F Overview

    • Supports full-duplex communication, allowing data to be transmitted and received simultaneously.
    • Used in various legacy applications including:
      • industrial equipment
      • point-of-sale systems
    • Digital data can be transmitted using Analog signals, which are modulated to represent data
    • Uses various modulation techniques for data transmission, including Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM)

    Transmitting Digital Data with Digital Signals

    • Digital data is encoded into a format that can be easily processed by digital devices.
    • Encoding schemes include:
      • NRZ-L (Non-Return-to-Zero Level)
      • NRZI (Non-Return-to-Zero Inverted)
      • Manchester Encoding
      • Differential Manchester Encoding
      • Bipolar AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion)
      • 4B/5B Encoding

    Transmitting Digital Data with Discrete Analog Signals

    • Uses techniques to represent digital information through variations in analog signals.
