PIC32MX3XX/4XX
19.0 UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER TRANSMITTER
(UART)
Note:
This data sheet summarizes the features of
the PIC32MX3XX/4XX family of devices. It
is not intended to be a comprehensive refer-
ence source. Refer to the âPIC32MX Family
Reference Manualâ (DS61132) for a
detailed description of this peripheral.
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
(UART) module is one of the serial I/O modules avail-
able in PIC32MX3XX/4XX family devices. The UART is
a full-duplex, asynchronous communication channel
that communicates with peripheral devices and per-
sonal computers through protocols such as RS-232,
RS-485, LIN 1.2 and IrDA®. The module also supports
the hardware flow control option, with UxCTS and
UxRTS pins, and also includes the IrDA encoder and
decoder.
The primary features of the UART module are:
⢠Full-duplex, 8-bit or 9-bit data transmission
⢠Even, odd or no parity options (for 8-bit data)
⢠One or two Stop bits
⢠Hardware auto-baud feature
⢠Hardware flow control option
⢠Fully integrated Baud Rate Generator (BRG) with
16-bit prescaler
⢠Baud rates ranging from 76 bps to 20 Mbps at 80
MHz
⢠4-level-deep First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Transmit
Data Buffer
⢠4-level-deep FIFO Receive Data Buffer
⢠Parity, framing and buffer overrun error detection
⢠Support for interrupt only on address detect (9th
bit = 1)
⢠Separate transmit and receive interrupts
⢠Loopback mode for diagnostic support
⢠LIN 1.2 protocol support
⢠IrDA encoder and decoder with 16x baud clock
output for external IrDA encoder/decoder support
Figure 19-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
UART.
