11.14 UART Peripheral
The universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) module provides an interface between the device
and a UART terminal interface or other UART-based peripheral. The UART is based on the industry
standard TL16C550 asynchronous communications element which, in turn, is a functional upgrade of the
TL16C450. Functionally similar to the TL16C450 on power up (single character or TL16C450 mode), the
UART can be placed in an alternate FIFO (TL16C550) mode. This relieves the SoC of excessive software
overhead by buffering received and transmitted characters. The receiver and transmitter FIFOs store up to
16 bytes including three additional bits of error status per byte for the receiver FIFO.
The UART performs serial-to-parallel conversions on data received from a peripheral device and parallel-
to-serial conversion on data received from the SoC CorePacs to be sent to the peripheral device. The SoC
CorePacs can read the UART status at any time. The UART includes control capability and a processor
interrupt system that can be tailored to minimize software management of the communications link. For
more information on UART, see the KeyStone Architecture Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(UART) User's Guide (SPRUGP1).
