About Serial Interfaces and Converters
Serial interfaces and serial converters are used to connect or convert an analog signal to a serial-digital output signal, and to convert from one network standard to another. Serial interfaces and converters can transfer data from one wire to another wire or fiber in a serial manner as a single stream of data. A serial interface transfers digital data bit by bit one after the other over a wire. Even though a serial interface has multiple lines, it uses only one line to transfer data. Serial interfaces and converters are most often compared with parallel interfaces, which are another type of communication link. A parallel interface can transmit multiple streams of data over multiple channels simultaneously but is suitable to be used for only short distance communication links. A serial interface is best suited for long distance communication links. Serial interfaces and serial converters have fewer pins and therefore they are cheaper as compared to parallel interfaces.
