Questions tagged [uart]

A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is used for serial (where each bit of data is transmitted along the same connection) communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port.

UART is usually an individual (or part of an) integrated circuit used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port. UARTs are now commonly included in microcontrollers.

Simple serial link via UART uses two lines TxD and RxD, other than ground, for transmit and receive data:

Simple UART connection

It is asynchronous communication. Hence data transfer settings (number of bits, baudrate etc.) should be matched between devices wanting to communicate. The electric signaling levels and methods are handled by a driver circuit external to the UART.

What is the difference between baud rate and bit rate?

I am really having hard time understanding the difference. Some say they are same, while others say there is a slight difference. What's the difference, exactly? I would like it if you explained with some analogy.

UART vs I2C vs SPI for inter-processor communication between microcontrollers

I am examining a way to connect two microcontrollers. On the level of serialization I am thinking of using Nano protobuffers (http://code.google.com/p/nanopb/). This way I can encode/decode messages and send them between two processors. Basically,…
