Q34 / 100
What is the difference between "synchronous" and "asynchronous" data transfer between components?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Synchronous transfer is coordinated by a shared clock signal, with both sender and receiver operating in lockstep; asynchronous transfer does not rely on a shared clock and uses signaling to indicate when data is ready
A
Correct Answer
Synchronous transfer is coordinated by a shared clock signal, with both sender and receiver operating in lockstep; asynchronous transfer does not rely on a shared clock and uses signaling to indicate when data is ready
Explanation
Synchronous communication uses a common clock to time data transfers precisely, while asynchronous communication uses start/stop signals or handshaking, allowing devices with different or no shared clocks to communicate.
