Being able to communicate between a host computer and a project is often a key requirement, and for FPGA projects that is easily done by adding a submodule like a UART. A Universal Asynchronous ...

The 1-Wire protocol is usually found in temperature sensors, but you’ll also find it in chips ranging from load sensors, a battery sensor and LED driver that is oddly yet officially called a ‘gas ...

Have you ever used the term UART only to be corrected by another engineer that it isn’t a UART but USART? In certain circumstances the interchangeability of these ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

This application note explains how to use a microprocessor’s UART to implement a 1-Wire® bus master. It includes an explanation of the required electrical interface, UART configuration, and timing ...

With the increasing number of high-profile data and privacy breaches in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, businesses and consumers have a greater awareness of the need for security when buying ...

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs) are considered the simplest way to send data from one system to another system. UARTs are commonly included in microcontrollers and many modern ICs ...

The Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART) interface is found on a variety of peripheral devices. Consider, for instance, a microcontrollerbased system with four such peripherals. Ideally, ...

In the last two installments of Driving Me Nuts [LJ August 2002 and October 2002], we covered the tty layer, explaining how to create a minimal tty driver. We also explained some of the various ioctls ...
