  2. The ABC’s of Serial Ports • UART = Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter • TX = Transmitter • RX = Receiver • TD = Transmit Data (Data output) • RD = Receive Data (Data input) • RTS = Request to Send (Flow control output) • CTS = Clear to Send (Flow control input) • Half Duplex – transmits one direction at a time (mostly obsolete now) • Full Duplex – transmits both directions at the same time • RTS/CTS Flow control for full duplex serial ports : • RX assert RTS when it is ready to receive • TX waits for CTS before transmitting BYU ECEn 320

  3. Serial Port Devices The following is a list of various hardware components that use Serial Ports : • Mouse - One of the most commonly used devices for serial ports. • Modem - Used commonly with older computers. • Network - One of the original uses of the serial port, which allowed two computers to connect together and transfer large files between the two. • Printer - Mostly used with older printers only. • ASCII Terminal (TTY) - Like the Hyperterm interface.

  8. Serial Communication Format • Data is transmitted sequentially, one bit at a time. • To inform the receiver that a new byte is arriving, a “start bit” (a zero) is sent first. A start bit can start at any time. • Then the data is transmitted, LSB (least significant bit) first, and MSB (most significant bit) last. • At the end, zero, one or two “stop bits” (ones) are transmitted. • A frame consist of : • 1 start bit (a zero) • 7 or 8 data bits LSB (least significant bit) first • 1 optional parity bit • 0, 1 or 2 stop bits (ones) • Between transmissions, the transmitter transmits a high. • The bit time is determined by the baud rate which is given in units of BPS (bits per second). • Transmitter and receiver do not share a clock (hence the asynchronous nature).
