In [[telecommunication]]s, a '''self-synchronizing code''' is a [[line code]] in which the [[symbol (data)|symbol]] stream formed by a portion of one [[code word]], or by the overlapped portion of any two adjacent code words, is not a valid code word.

A self-[[sy

A self-[[synchronizing]] code permits the proper [[frame synchronization|framing]] of transmitted code words provided that no uncorrected errors occur in the symbol stream.

External [[synchronization]] is not required.

[[High-Level Data Link Control]] (HDLC) and [[Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures]] (ADCCP) frames represent self-synchronizing code words.

Every self-synchronizing code is a kind of [[prefix code]].

However, many prefix codes are not self-synchronizing codes.
