UART Introduction
12-3
UART Devices
12.1.1 Main UART Features (UART1/2/3)
The main features are as follows:
-
Selectable UART/autobaud modes (UART1 and 2 only)
-
Dual 64-entry FIFOs for received and transmitted data payload
-
Programmable and selectable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels for
DMA and interrupt generation
-
Programmable sleep mode
-
Complete status reporting capabilities in both normal and sleep mode
-
Frequency prescaler values from 0 to 65535 to generate the appropriate
baud rates
-
An interrupt request to the system if there are multiple DMA
requests
