3.4UART Interface

The UART interface are a 16550-compliant UART with the exception of transmit and receive buffers. Transmit and receive buffers are 64 bytes-deep versus the 16 bytes required by the 16550 UART specification.

The interface can be configured to support speeds from 1,200 Baud to 921 Kbaud. The interface supports the following configurations:

Five, six, seven, or eight data-bit transfers

One or two stop bits

Even, odd, or no parity

The request-to-send (RTS0_N) and clear-to-send (CTS0_N) modem control signals also are available with the interface for hardware flow control. The hardware supports a four-wire interface:
