-Full duplex UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver /Transmitter is a device that receives and transmits
serial data with each data character
preceded by a start bit “0” and followed
by a stop bit “1”). Sometimes a parity bit
is inserted between the last data bit
and the stop bit.
-The essential
operation of a UART is to perform parallel-to-serial conversion for output data, and
serial-to-parallel conversion for input
data.
-10 or 11 bit
frames.
-Interrupt driven.
-Registers:
• SCON - Serial port control
register.
• SBUF - Read received data.
• -
Write data to be transmitted.
