20.0 UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER TRANSMITTER
(UART)
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
(UART) module is one of the serial I/O modules
available in the dsPIC33FJ32GS406/606/608/610 and
dsPIC33FJ64GS406/606/608/610 device families. The
UART is a full-duplex, asynchronous system that can
communicate with peripheral devices, such as
personal computers, LIN/JS2602, RS-232 and RS-485
interfaces. The module also supports a hardware flow
control option with the UxCTS
and UxRTS pins and
also includes an IrDA encoder and decoder.
The primary features of the UARTx module are:
• Full-Duplex, 8-Bit or 9-Bit Data Transmission
through the UxTX and UxRX Pins
• Even, Odd or No Parity Options (for 8-bit data)
• One or Two Stop bits
• Hardware Flow Control Option with UxCTS
and
UxRTS
Pins
• Fully Integrated Baud Rate Generator with 16-Bit
Prescaler
• Baud Rates Ranging from 10 Mbps to 38 bps at
40 MIPS
• Baud Rates Ranging from 12.5 Mbps to 47 bps at
50 MIPS
• 4-Deep, First-In First-Out (FIFO) Transmit Data
Buffer
• 4-Deep FIFO Receive Data Buffer
• Parity, Framing and Buffer Overrun Error Detection
• Support for 9-Bit mode with Address Detect
(9th bit = 1)
• Transmit and Receive Interrupts
• A Separate Interrupt for all UART Error Conditions
• Loopback mode for Diagnostic Support
• Support for Sync and Break Characters
• Support for Automatic Baud Rate Detection
• IrDA Encoder and Decoder Logic
• 16x Baud Clock Output for IrDA
®
Support
• Support for DMA
A simplified block diagram of the UART module is
shown in Figure 20-1. The UART module consists of
these key hardware elements:
• Baud Rate Generator
• Asynchronous Transmitter
• Asynchronous Receiver
