Universal Synchronous Asynchronous

Receiver Transmitter (USART)

The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver (USART) provides one full duplex universal synchronous asynchronous serial link. Data frame format is widely programmable (data length, parity, number of stop bits) to support a maximum of standards. The receiver implements parity error, framing error and overrun error detection. The receiver time-out enables handling variable-length frames and the transmitter timeguard facilitates communications with slow remote devices. Multidrop communications are also supported through address bit handling in reception and transmission. The driver supports the following modes: RS232, RS485, SPI, IrDA, ISO7816, MODEM, Hardware handshaking and LIN.
