  • Refers to multiple data bits stored or transmitted simultaneously.[1]
  • Transmission of all the bits (e.g. in a character) at the same time. If the character has eight bits, there are eight wires. Faster and more expensive than serial where the eight bits would be sent, "sideways", one at a time.[2]
