2.2Signal Descriptions
The UARTs utilize a minimal number of signal connections to interface with external devices. The UART signal descriptions are included in Table 3. Note that the number of UARTs and their supported features vary on each device, see the

(1)The value n indicates the applicable UART; that is, UART0, UART1, etc.
2.3Pin Multiplexing
On the DM643x DMP extensive pin multiplexing is used to accommodate the largest number of peripheral functions in the smallest possible package. Pin multiplexing is controlled using a combination of hardware configuration at device reset and software programmable register settings. Refer to the
2.4Protocol Description
2.4.1Transmission
The UART transmitter section includes a transmitter hold register (THR) and a transmitter shift register (TSR). When the UART is in the FIFO mode, THR is a
•1 START bit
•5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits
•1 PARITY bit (optional)
•1, 1.5, or 2 STOP bits
2.4.2Reception
The UART receiver section includes a receiver shift register (RSR) and a receiver buffer register (RBR). When the UART is in the FIFO mode, RBR is a
•1 START bit
•5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits
•1 PARITY bit (optional)
•1 STOP bit (any other STOP bits transferred with the above data are not detected)
