DIGITAL TRANSMISSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In asynchronous transmission, ____ bit represents start bit & ____ represents stop bit.
A
1, 0
B
1, 1
C
0, 1
D
0, 0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The asynchronous transmitter delimits each character by a start sequence and a stop sequence. The start bit (0), data (usually 8 bits plus parity) and stop bit(s) (1) are transmitted using a shift register clocked at the nominal data rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The start bit is used to signal the beginning of a frame. The stop bit is used to signal the end of a frame. The data is contained in the data bits and the parity bit is an extra bit that is often used to detect transmission errors.
