Receive

What is a receive?

Receive (RX) refers to the process or capability of accepting and processing incoming data, signals, or communications in electronic systems. It is commonly used to describe the input function of communication interfaces, where a device captures transmitted information from another source. RX is typically paired with TX (transmit) in communication protocols like UART, SPI, and wireless systems, representing the data input line or receiver circuit that converts incoming signals into usable digital information.
