What is a UART?
UART is Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter Easy and low cost serial interface to connect two computing systems Industry standard asynchronous communication data interfaces More reliable for high-speed serial communication Need less wires than parallel transmission Enable long distance serial communication (RS232=50ft, RS485=4Kft)

How Does a UART Work?

Means of communication between multiple systems

Transmit UART:

takes data from the Transmit Processor & sends the byte in bits receives the data one bit at a time & assembles the bits and sends the data to the Receiving Processor checks for communication errors greatly relieves the processor the task of managing the communication channel
