0.01 sec.

The transmission of data in which each character is a self-contained unit with its own start and stop bits. Intervals between characters may be uneven. It is the common method of transmission between a computer and a modem, although the modem may switch to synchronous transmission to communicate with the other modem. Also called "start/stop transmission." Contrast with synchronous transmission.

asynchronous transmission [ā′siŋ·krə·nəs ‚tranz′mish·ən]

(communications)

Data transmission in which each character contains its own start and stop pulses and there is no control over the time between characters.
