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:
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
