Why do we have serial and parallel interface, which
one was faster and why and when we should go for this
interface.

Answer Posted / saikiran

Both the interfaces have it own importance,
in serial the data is transmitted in sequence i.e is 1 bit
at a time for one clock cycle so to transfer 8 bits of info
you need 8 clock cycles in short it takes more time
comparatively.
where as in parallel 8 bits of transmission is transmitted
is in 1 clock cycle.
parallel transmissions normally used for tarnsmited data
from computer to printer(through LPT port)
parallel transmission is faster than serial transmission.
