17. USART (USART0 and USART1)
The Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is a
highly flexible serial communication device. The main features are:
17.1

17.2
Overview
Many registers and bit references in this section are written in general form.
• A lower case “n” replaces the USART number, in this case 0 or 1. However, when using the
register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., UDR0 for accessing
USART0 I/O data value and so on.
17.3
Dual USART
The AT90CAN32/64/128 has two USART’s, USART0 and USART1. The functionality for both
USART’s is described below. USART0 and USART1 have different I/O registers as shown in
“Register Summary” on page 405
.
A simplified block diagram of the USARTn Transmitter is shown in
. CPU accessible
I/O Registers and I/O pins are shown in bold.
