Serial Communication vs Parallel Communication

**Serial Communication**

1.One bit at a time 2.Sync or Async 3.No data skew 4.Noise immunity 5.Simplex,half or full duplex 6.complex design 7.two/four wire

**Parallel Communication**

1.One byte/Word at a time 2.Sync 3.Data Skew 4. Crosstalk 5.Simplex or half duplex 6.Simple design 7.N wires
