In-Depth Explanation of UART Serial Communication Protocol

In-Depth Explanation of UART Serial Communication Protocol

  UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a widely used serial communication protocol in embedded systems. It supports full-duplex communication, allowing simultaneous data transmission and reception, making it very useful in applications that require bidirectional communication. The working principle of UART is to transmit data bit by bit, meaning each binary bit is transmitted independently through signal … Read more
