UART

Facilitates asynchronous, full-duplex data transfer between devices.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  • The Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) is a widely used communication protocol for embedded systems. It enables asynchronous, full-duplex serial communication without a clock signal, using a pre-agreed baud rate for data synchronization.

  • UART’s simplicity and low hardware requirements make it ideal for short-distance communication. Its ability to transmit and receive data simultaneously makes it efficient for applications in automotive, telecommunications, and industrial automation.

FEATURES

Discover the Difference

Asynchronous Communication

Devices can communicate without the need for a shared clock signal, relying instead on pre-configured baud rates to synchronize data exchange. This simplifies the setup and makes it easier to implement in diverse environments.

Error Detection

The inclusion of an optional parity bit helps detect errors in transmitted data, ensuring the integrity of communication. This feature can be useful for applications where data accuracy is crucial.

Simple Hardware Requirements

Only the TX (transmit), RX (receive), and GND (ground) lines are needed for communication, minimizing the complexity and cost of hardware. This simplicity makes it ideal for embedded systems and basic communication setups.

Low Power Consumption

Asynchronous communication is optimized for low power usage, making it ideal for battery-powered or energy-sensitive devices. This ensures long-lasting operation without compromising performance.

Full-Duplex Communication

Both data transmission and reception occur simultaneously, enabling efficient bidirectional communication. This reduces waiting times and allows for faster exchanges between devices.

Standardized Baud Rates

Common baud rates like 9600 or 115200 are widely supported, making it easy to integrate with various devices and systems. This standardization simplifies setup and ensures broad compatibility.

Configurable Data Frame

Users can customize the data frame structure by adjusting the start bit, data bits, parity, and stop bits to suit specific communication needs. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a variety of devices and applications.

Multiple Device Support

While typically a point-to-point communication method, asynchronous communication can be extended to multiple devices with the addition of multiplexing or other hardware, allowing for flexible system designs.
