Universal Asynchronous Receiver/transmitter - Structure

Structure

A UART usually contains the following components:

  • a clock generator, usually a multiple of the bit rate to allow sampling in the middle of a bit period.
  • input and output shift registers
  • transmit/receive control
  • read/write control logic
  • transmit/receive buffers (optional)
  • parallel data bus buffer (optional)
  • First-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer memory (optional)

Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
