UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter)

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters) are essential components in serial communication, enabling data transmission between devices without the need for a clock signal. By converting parallel data into a serial form for transmission and vice versa for reception, UARTs facilitate efficient communication across various applications, from microcontrollers to computer systems. They are integral to numerous electronic devices, ensuring robust and asynchronous data transmission and reception. 

Popular Types of UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter)

• Single UART: Basic UART for straightforward serial communication.
• Multi-channel UART: Handles multiple serial channels simultaneously.
• Low-power UART: Designed for battery-operated or power-sensitive applications.
• High-speed UART: Optimised for high-speed data transfer.
