Which is faster serial interface or parallel interface?
It depends on the serial bit rate versus the parallel strobe cycle time but, in general, a parallel interface is faster than a serial interface. However, modern USB, Firewire, and SATA interfaces are very fast, and might be considered faster.
Is prn a serial port?
No. Its a parallel port
What replaces the parallel port?
USB port (Universal Serial Bus) replaces the parallel port
Is a s-video port considered serial or parallel?
S-Video is an analog port, not digital, so "serial" and "parallel" terms do not apply to it.
What is PORT name any two PORT?
USB port, serial port, parallel port.
What ports and ports are considered connectivity port?
parallel and serial port
What is the difference between a serial port and a parallel port?
Parallel ports are easy to program and faster compared to the serial ports. But main disadvantage is it needs more number of transmission lines. Because of this reason parallel ports are not used in long distance communications. Let us know the basic difference between working of parallel port and serial port. In serial ports, there will be two data lines: One transmission and one receive line. To send a data in serial port, it has to be sent one bit after another with some extra bits like start bit, stop bit and parity bit to detect errors. But in parallel port, all the 8 bits of a byte will be sent to the port at a time and a indication will be sent in another line. There will be some data lines, some control and some handshaking lines in parallel port. If three bytes of data 01000101 10011100 10110011 is to be sent to the port, parallel port communication is faster then serial port.
What are the examples of serial and parallel ports?
give the difference between serial port and parallel port
Can a serial port send data over a longer distance than a parallel port?
Usually, because a serial port doesn't have to deal with the problem of signal skew that can jumble the data on a parallel port and gets worse proportional to distance.
Serial vs parallel processing?
It is less costly to design ever faster serial lines than to create and build the necessary circuitry to keep faster parallel channels properly aligned. This is why Parallel ATA and Parallel SCSI have migrated to Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial SCSI (SAS).
What is meant by serial and parallel transmission?
A serial port only allows a single bit of data through at a time. A parallel port allows multiple bits of data through at a time.
Is VGA port a serial port?
No. VGA port is not either serial or parallel port. It is a different interface. If you need a serial output, you need a VGA to serial converter.
