UART (Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter)

December 16, 2020 8:00 PM

• asynchronous serial communication with configurable data format and transmission speeds
• Bit-by-bit transmission from LSB to MSB with start and stop bits - uses shift registers

• Two common signal levels


○ RS-232 - 12V
○ RS-482 - 5V
• Simplex, duplex, half-duplex
• No clock signal for sync - start and stop bits
○ When receiver end detects the start bit, it starts to read the data bits at specific baud rate.
○ both transmitting and receiving peripherals should work under same baud rate

○ Uses only 2 pins
