Sends 1 byte or character at a time. Sends data in the form of blocks or frames.
Slow as compare to synchronous communication. Fast as compare to asynchronous communication.
Overhead due to start and stop bit. Less overhead.
Ability to communicate long distance. Less as compared to asynchronous communication.
A start and stop bit used for data synchronization. A shared clock is used for data synchronization.
Economical Costly
RS232, RS485 I2C, SPI.
