UART (Universal

Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter)
DR. M. Ramakrishnan
UART
• Asynchronous Serial communication RxD
• Full duplex
• Signal voltage level - 3.3V or 5V
• PC do use UART for RS232 port
• Signal voltage level of RS232 port is
+12V/-12V
• So a converter is required to connect
RS232 port to micro controller UART TxD
RS232 to UART(5V) converter
RS232 to UART(3.3V) converter
USB as Virtual Serial port
