25.2 Overview
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) provides a full
duplex, universal, synchronous/asynchronous serial link. Data frame format is widely configu-
rable, including basic length, parity, and stop bit settings, maximizing standards support. The
receiver implements parity-, framing-, and overrun error detection, and can handle un-fixed
