Being able to communicate between a host computer and a project is often a key requirement, and for FPGA projects that is easily done by adding a submodule like a UART. A Universal Asynchronous ...

Problem: How can you add extra hardware UARTs to a 32-bit TMS470 ARM7-based microcontroller at zero cost? Solution: Designers can use the high-end timer (HET) peripheral found on all Texas Instruments ...

Modern microcontroller platforms spoil us with their performance and expansive spec sheets. These days it’s not uncommon to be developing for a cheap micro that has a clock rate well in excess of ...

Have you ever used the term UART only to be corrected by another engineer that it isn’t a UART but USART? In certain circumstances the interchangeability of these ...
