8251 Serial Controller

8251 Serial Controller is an USART with support for asynchronous communication only.

Overview

8251 Serial Controller is an USART with support for asynchronous communication only. This controller converts parallel data from the processor to serial data and transmits it and converts the serial received data into parallel data for the processor to read.

Key features

  • RS-232-C protocol support
  • Baud rate generator or timer output selectable as Tx/Rx clock
  • Asynchronous communication only
  • Serial interrupt support
  • Clock rates of baud rate of x16 or x64
  • Character length of 7 or 8 bits
  • 1 or 2 Stop bits
  • Break transmission
  • Automatic break detection
  • Full duplex double buffer system
  • Parity addition/checking
  • Error detection for parity, overrun and framing errors

Capturing a UART Design in MyHDL & Testing It in an FPGA

The universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) is an old friend to embedded systems engineers. It's probably the first communications protocol that we learn in college. In this article, we will design our very own UART using MyHDL.

Integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on Arty-Z7

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is moving from theory to engineering reality. With NIST-standardized algorithms ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) now finalized, FPGA developers face a practical challenge: How to integrate these algorithms efficiently on resource-constrained hardware?

How to design secure SoCs, Part V: Data Protection and Encryption

In today’s connected world, where data is a crucial asset in SoCs, Part V of our series explores how to protect and encrypt data, whether at rest, in transit, or in use building on our earlier blog posts of the series: Essential security features for digital designers, key management, secure boot, and runtime integrity.

Not all overvoltage tolerant GPIOs are the same

Most foundries provide GPIO libraries to their fabless customers. These libraries contain different elements like supply/ground pads, analog I/Os, digital I/Os, corner cells, filler cells, power-on-reset circuits. Frequently the foundry includes cells for different voltage domains. In 40nm CMOS the IC designer can use cells for 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V for instance.
