Sometimes, both communicating devices’ baud rate can be adjusted, while sometimes, one of the devices will have a fixed baud rate requiring that the other one change match it. Some of the more popular predefined UART baud rates include: The baud rate includes non-data parts of a message such as a start and stop bits, which means that the transmission rate of useful information sent from the transmitter to the receiver will be slightly less. Baud rates have standard metric prefixes such as kBd (kilobaud), MBd (megabaud), or GBd (Gigabaud).
So, a rate of 1000 Bd means that the communication speed is 1000 bits per second, or the duration of one bit is 1/1000 second or 1 millisecond. Baud rate can be represented as bits per second to make it simpler. This parameter determines the communication speed over the data channel of the transmitter and receiver. As it does not have a clock, the transmitting and the receiving devices must use the same baud rate.īaud rate (Bd) is a unit of measurement of the transmission rate. The appearance of the word asynchronous in the name means that it does not require a clock signal. One is labeled TX, the transmitter, and the other labeled RX, the receiver. This communication system requires two pins, except for the ground. UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter. It is not uncommon to have a UART connected to an RS-232 transceiver for a UART peripheral on a microcontroller and an RS-232 based device to communicate with each other. However, this can often be confused with another kind of serial port, which uses the DB9 style connector and uses RS-232 as a hardware protocol. The UART is commonly also referred to as the Serial Port on a device. We hope you will find this resource invaluable next time your design needs to incorporate a serial communication bus.
Serial communications are the perfect mechanism for transmitting information between devices such as microcontrollers, data-producing peripherals, and other smart devices.
PA035 SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL SERIES
It supports the series of articles we’ve produced to look at some of the different types of Serial Communication Protocols available. It’s not a communication protocol but rather the physical circuit used in microcontrollers or stand-alone ICs to transmit and receive serial data. In this article, we will be looking at the popular UART device.
