- In Synchronous Transmission data is transferred in the form of frames on the other hand in Asynchronous Transmission data is transmitted 1 byte at a time.
- Synchronous Transmission requires a clock signal between the sender and receiver so as to inform the receiver about the new byte. Whereas, in Asynchronous Transmission sender and receiver does not require a clock signal as the data sent here has a parity bit attached to it which indicates the start of the new byte.
- Data transfer rate of Asynchronous Transmission is slower than that of Synchronous Transmission.
- Asynchronous Transmission is simple and economic whereas, Synchronous Transmission is complex and expensive.
- Synchronous Transmission is efficient and has lower overhead as compared to the Asynchronous Transmission.
