Difference Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Transmission

Synchronous transmission uses a shared clock between transmitter and receiver to synchronize data transmission in frames or blocks, making it faster but more costly than asynchronous transmission. Asynchronous transmission transmits individual characters containing start and stop bits, making it slower but simpler and cheaper than synchronous transmission.
