{{Short description|Signal}}
In telecommunications, a '''stop signal''' is a signal that marks the end of part of a transmission, for example: #In asynchronous serial communication, a signal at the end of a character that prepares the receiving device for the reception of a subsequent character. A stop signal is usually limited to one signal element having any duration equal to or greater than a specified minimum value. # A signal to a receiving mechanism to wait for the next signal.
