Bit Slip

In digital transmission, Bit slip is the loss of a bit or bits, caused by variations in the respective clock rates of the transmitting and receiving devices. One cause of bit slippage is overflow of a receive buffer that occurs when the transmitter's clock rate exceeds that of the receiver. This causes one or more bits to be dropped for lack of storage capacity.
