Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (USART)

Introduction

The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transceiver, USART, provides a flexible
full duplex data exchange using synchronous or asynchronous transfer. The USART is used to
translate data between parallel and serial interfaces, and is also commonly used for RS232 standard
communication. The USART peripheral function supports a variety of interrupts.
The USART module includes an 8-byte transmit FIFO, TX FIFO and a 8-byte receive FIFO, RX
FIFO. Software can detect a USART error status by reading USART Status & Interrupt Flag
Register, USRSIFR. The status includes the condition of the transfer operations as well as several
error conditions resulting from Parity, Overrun, Framing and Break events.
The USART includes a programmable baud rate generator which is capable of dividing the USART
clock of the CK_APB (CK_USART) to produce a baud rate clock for the USART transmitter and
receiver.
