The universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) takes bytes of data and transmits the individual bits in a sequential fashion. [7] 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 ...
A packet-switched network transmits data that is divided into units called packets.A packet comprises a header (which describes the packet) and a payload (the data). The Internet is a packet-switched network, and most of the protocols in this list are designed for its protocol stack, the IP protocol suite.
Those modems are obsolete, having been replaced by modems which convert asynchronous data to synchronous forms, but similar synchronous telecommunications protocols survive in numerous block-oriented technologies such as the widely used IEEE 802.2 (Ethernet) link-level protocol. USARTs are still sometimes integrated with MCUs.
For example, the UART-based FlexWire protocol begins each frame with a 'U' (0x55) sync byte. FlexWire receivers use the sync byte to precisely set their UART bit-clock frequency without a high-precision oscillator. [4] For example, the Ethernet preamble contains 56 bits of alternating 1 and 0 bits for synchronizing bit clocks.
The 16550 UART (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) is an integrated circuit designed for implementing the interface for serial communications. The corrected -A version was released in 1987 by National Semiconductor . [ 1 ]
For example, one may imagine a computer sending data to a slow printer. Since the computer is faster at sending data than the printer can print it, the printer falls behind and approaches a situation where it would be overwhelmed by the data. The printer reacts to this situation by sending XOFF to the computer, which temporarily stops sending data.
For example, on Windows PCs, the DTR output is kept low until some program is run to access the serial port and raise the DTR signal high. The remote side will sense this as the DCD input going high. Some equipment will recognize the transition alone as the beginning of a session.
Byte-oriented framing protocol is "a communications protocol in which full bytes are used as control codes. Also known as character-oriented protocol." [1] For example UART communication is byte-oriented. The term "character-oriented" is deprecated, [by whom?] since the notion of character has changed. An ASCII character fits to one byte (octet ...
