LSB stands for Least Significant Bit.

In a multi-bit binary number, the LSB is the bit with the lowest value.

It is the one farthest to the right in the string. In Embedded Systems the LSB is especially important when it comes to transmission of a data.

For example, the LSB in the binary number 10101010 is the "0" to the far right.

In Embedded Systems the LSB is especially important when it comes to transmission of a data. LSB, together with MSB, is a key component of Endianness.
