Re: Synchronous and asynchronous communication

Communication is called asynchronous if the sender and receiver do not
need to synchronise before each transmission. A sender can wait
arbitrarily long between transmissions and the receiver must be ready
to receive data when it arrives.

Synch. transmission agree to clock rate before the data transmission occurs .

Example would be : Serial interface which can work in sync as well as
async mode .
In sync mode ; you have to configure clock rate on DCE and then only
data transmission occurs .

Async serial interfaces ; there is no funda of clock rate CLI .

I hope I made things clearer .
