Vendor: eSi-RISC Category: UART

APB UART with optional ISO7816-3

The eSi-UART core can be used to implement asynchronous serial communications.

Overview

The eSi-UART core can be used to implement asynchronous serial communications. It is ideally suited for implementing RS232 or ISO7816-3 for smartcard based connectivity. The UART is supplied with an AMBA APB slave interface and so can be driven by software or via DMA.

Key features

  • 7 or 8 data bits.
  • 1 or 2 stop bits.
  • Parity bit (None / Even / Odd / Mark / Space).
  • Optional RTS/CTS flow control.
  • Programmable bit rate.
  • Optional ISO 7816-3 T=0 and T=1 support, with NACK and retry.
  • Configurable TX and RX FIFO.
  • Programmable receive timeout and transmit guard time.
  • AMBA 3 APB slave interface.
  • DMA flow-control interface.
