Serial and parallel data transmission of 010010112. Standard bit sequence is least-significant-bit-first (D0 to D7 in ascending order). D0 is received first via serial transmission. All bits are received simultaneously via parallel transmission.

In telecommunication and data transmission, serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus. This is in contrast to parallel communication, where several bits are sent as a whole, on a link with several parallel channels.
