Asynchronous Communications System
In
telecommunication
, an
asynchronous communications system
(
start-stop system
) is a
data
communications system
that uses
asynchronous operation
.
In an asynchronous communications system, extra
signal
elements are usually appended to the data for the purpose of
synchronizing
individual data characters or blocks.
The
time
spacing between successive data characters or blocks may be of arbitrary duration.
