The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) module with built-in
protocol support is a serial communications peripheral that allows users to interface other
UART compatible devices. The UART module is designed for full-duplex communication, and
supports the following protocols:
- LIN Master and Slave modes
- DMX mode
- DALI Control Gear and Control Device modes
This technical brief highlights the use of this UART module in Basic mode stand-alone, without the use of the other UART protocol support.
Info: For more
technical detail regarding any of the supported protocol functions of this UART module, view
the device data sheet, along with any other supporting documentation.
