AXI UART16550

The AXI Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) 16550 connects to the AMBA® (Advance Microcontroller Bus Architecture)…

Overview

The AXI Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) 16550 connects to the AMBA® (Advance Microcontroller Bus Architecture) AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface) and provides the controller interface for asynchronous serial data transfer. This soft IP core is designed to connect via an AXI4-Lite interface. The AXI UART 16550 described in this document incorporates features described in the National Semiconductor PC16550D UART with FIFOs Data Sheet.

The National Semiconductor PC16550D data sheet is referenced throughout this document and should be used as the authoritative specification. Differences between the National Semiconductor PC16550D and the AXI UART 16550 data sheet are highlighted in the Specification Exceptions section.

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
