uart
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. This is a
device in a computer or modem that will change serial data (the
way data comes in over the phone line) to parallel, and vice
versa. [See also serial, parallel, 16550 UART, 8250 UART, 16450
UART]
.
This is the UART used with most newer computers and
high speed modems. There are several variations, but they all
include one main feature: they include buffering, so that if data
comes in or is sent faster than the computer/modem can accept it,
the UART will hold the data (up to 16 bytes) until the
computer/modem is ready for it. [See also UART]
.
The UART used with some 286 computers. [See also
UART]
.
The UART used for the communications ports on most
older computers. [See also UART]
