LSB stands for least significant bit.

In a multi-bit binary number, the LSB is the bit with the lowest value, and it is the one located farthest to the right in the string. In embedded systems, the LSB is especially important when it comes to transmission of data.

For example, the LSB in the binary number 10101010 is the "0" located at the far right. In embedded systems the LSB is especially important when it comes to transmission of data. LSB, together with MSB, is a key component of Endianness.
