Differences and Connections Between Serial Ports, UART, RS232, and RS485

Differences and Connections Between Serial Ports, UART, RS232, and RS485

Serial Port refers to the serial interface, commonly known as the COM (Communication Port) interface. This is an “old” interface that was primarily introduced to connect computer peripherals, such as mice or modems. Since this interface typically appears in a 9 pin format, it is often referred to as the 9-pin serial port or DB9 … Read more
