FPGA Implementation of UART (Including Source Code)

1. What is UART? As one of the three commonly used low-speed buses (UART, SPI, IIC), UART plays an important role in designing various communication interfaces and debugging. UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, which is mainly used for serial data transmission, and operates in a full-duplex mode. When sending data, it converts parallel data … Read more

Understanding UART: History, Principles, and Standards

1. History of Serial Ports First of all, the serial port is an essential tool for anyone working with hardware and embedded software, especially when debugging a system with an MCU or CPU. Generally, the first thing we do during debugging is to light up the GPIO, and the second is to establish a communication … Read more

Understanding UART Serial Communication

UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, also known as serial communication. Unlike communication protocols like SPI and I2C, it is a physical circuit within microcontrollers or an independent IC. The main purpose of UART is to send and receive serial data, and its greatest advantage is that it uses only two wires to transmit data … Read more

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

Comprehensive Introduction to UART, SPI, and I2C Protocols

I2C Communication Protocol Basics 3.1 Communication Overview I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication bus designed by Philips in the early 1980s. It facilitates communication between motherboards, embedded systems, or mobile phones and peripheral devices. Due to its simplicity, it is widely used for communication between microcontrollers and sensor arrays, displays, IoT devices, EEPROMs, etc. … Read more

Understanding UART, I2C, SPI, and Other Communication Protocols

UART, I2C, RS485… These communication protocols are commonly used, but their explanations can be ambiguous. I feel it’s necessary to organize them to consolidate and differentiate. The article is a bit long, so I suggest saving it for later reference. UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter. The UART port refers to a type of physical … Read more
