Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter

Overview

Description: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

Core16550 is a UART with or without FIFO support used for asynchronous communication. It is 100% software compatible with the Texas Instruments 16550 device and capable of a baud rate greater than 10 Mb/s on Axcelerator devices. The 16550 is useful to implement a serial (RS232) or modem interface.

Key Features

  • Serial communication controller
  • Optional APB bus interface
  • TX and RX buffered to reduce interrupts
  • Programmable baud generator
  • Independent receiver clock input
  • Standard modem control functions
  • Programmable Serial interface
  • Complete status register
  • Prioritized interrupt system control interfaces
