Editing Bit-synchronous operation (section)

'''Bit-synchronous operation''' is a type of digital communication in which the [[data]] [[Telecommunication circuit|circuit]]-terminating equipment ([[Data circuit-terminating equipment|DCE]]), data [[terminal equipment]] ([[Data terminal equipment|DTE]]), and transmitting circuits are all operated in [[bit]] [[Synchronous circuit|synchronism]] with a [[clock signal]].<ref>

In bit-[[Synchronous circuit|synchronous]] operation, clock timing is usually delivered at twice the [[modulation rate]], and one bit is transmitted or received during each clock cycle.

Bit-synchronous operation is sometimes erroneously referred to as digital synchronization.
