The parallel-serial transmission is performed using a shift register. The shift register, working together with a clock, will shift the register (containing all of the data presented in parallel) by ...

Parallel transmission has historically been the preferred way to write data to disk. But at current speeds, serial transmission can be faster and offers other advantages.

The "serial" part of the serial port's name describes how data is transmitted one bit at a time in a single line or "series." There were also parallel ports on computers that sent multiple bits ...

The serializer translates the parallel data into a serial bit stream. Also, the serial I/O is designed to match a 50-Ω stripline or microstrip transmission line.

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...
