There is a wealth of protocols used with serial communication. For example, USB, SATA, or Firewire are all well-established serial protocols, mostly aimed at master-slave communications between a master device and peripherals.

RS-232 (EIA-232) or RS-485 are probably expected to be included in this listing, as they are very long-standing serial forms of communication and typically combined with the . In the context with protocols, it is however important to note that these only define the physical layers, the means of moving one byte from A to B, but do not define any of the logical layers (how to interpret the data).

Most network adapters such as an Ethernet adapter work serially (bits are transmitted and received one by one, not multiple at the same time), so these could be considered a serial protocol.

Countless other forms of asynchronous and synchronous serial communication exists and are in use.
