UART Protocol

Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) is one of the most fundamental serial communication protocols used in embedded systems. UART provides a simple, reliable way to exchange data between devices using just two wires: one for transmitting (TX) and one for receiving (RX).

Unlike synchronous protocols like SPI and I2C, UART is asynchronous, meaning it doesn't require a shared clock signal. Instead, both devices must be configured to use the same baud rate (data transmission speed). UART is widely used for debugging, firmware updates, device configuration, and communication with peripherals like GPS modules, Bluetooth modules, and serial displays.

Our USB host adapters provide comprehensive UART support, enabling you to communicate with UART devices, debug serial communication, and develop firmware for UART-based systems. With support for configurable baud rates and hardware flow control, our tools give you the flexibility to work with a wide range of UART devices.
