UART Controller IP

Overview

UART CONTROLLER interface provides full support for the two-wire UART CONTROLLER synchronous serial interface, compatible with UART specification. Through its UART CONTROLLER compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. UART CONTROLLER IIP is proven in FPGA environment.The host interface of the UART CONTROLLER can be simple interface or can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.
