ASCII Alphanumeric Code

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is the standard alphanumeric code for keyboards and a host of other data interchange tasks. Letters, numbers, and single keystroke commands are represented by a seven-bit word. Typically a strobe bit or start bit is sent first, followed by the code with LSB first. Being a 7-bit code, it has 2^7 or 128 possible code groups.
