  2. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous...

    At the destination, a second UART re-assembles the bits into complete bytes. Each UART contains a shift register, which is the fundamental method of conversion between serial and parallel forms. Serial transmission of digital information (bits) through a single wire or other medium is less costly than parallel transmission through multiple wires.

  3. 16550 UART - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16550_UART

    An on-chip FIFO buffer for both incoming and outgoing data; this gives the host system more time to respond to an interrupt generated by the UART, without loss of data. Both the computer hardware and software interface of the 16550 are backward compatible with the earlier 8250 UART and 16450 UART .

  4. Software flow control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_flow_control

    Software flow control is a method of flow control used in computer data links, especially RS-232 serial. It uses special codes, transmitted in-band, over the primary communications channel. These codes are generally called XOFF and XON (from "transmit off" and "transmit on", respectively). Thus, "software flow control" is sometimes called "XON ...

  5. Universal synchronous and asynchronous receiver-transmitter

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_synchronous_and...

    The USART's synchronous capabilities were primarily intended to support synchronous protocols like IBM's synchronous transmit-receive (STR), binary synchronous communications (BSC), synchronous data link control (SDLC), and the ISO-standard high-level data link control (HDLC) synchronous link-layer protocols, which were used with synchronous voice-frequency modems.

  6. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    FIFO's opposite is LIFO, last-in-first-out, where the youngest entry or "top of the stack" is processed first. [2] A priority queue is neither FIFO or LIFO but may adopt similar behaviour temporarily or by default. Queueing theory encompasses these methods for processing data structures, as well as interactions between strict-FIFO queues.

  7. Serial Peripheral Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface

    Loop for however many number of bytes to transfer: [note 4] Initialize byte_out with the next output byte to transmit; Loop 8 times: Left-Shift [note 5] the next output bit from byte_out to MOSI; NOP for the slave's setup time; Pull SCLK high; Left-Shift the next input bit from MISO into byte_in; NOP for the slave's hold time; Pull SCLK low

  8. Asynchronous serial communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_serial...

    Asynchronous serial communication is a form of serial communication in which the communicating endpoints' interfaces are not continuously synchronized by a common clock signal. Instead of a common synchronization signal, the data stream contains synchronization information in form of start and stop signals, before and after each unit of ...

  9. Verilog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verilog

    Verilog-2001 is a significant upgrade from Verilog-95. First, it adds explicit support for (2's complement) signed nets and variables. Previously, code authors had to perform signed operations using awkward bit-level manipulations (for example, the carry-out bit of a simple 8-bit addition required an explicit description of the Boolean algebra ...
