What is USART?
USART stands for Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. It is a hardware communication interface that enables serial data transmission between devices. USARTs are commonly used to communicate with peripherals such as sensors, displays, and other microcontrollers. They support both synchronous and asynchronous communication modes, offering flexibility in data transfer protocols.
What other technologies are related to USART?
USART Competitor Technologies
SPI
SPI is another serial communication protocol, offering higher speed and different architecture than USART. They are often used for different use cases, presenting a competitive choice.
I2C
I2C is a serial communication protocol, typically used for short-distance communication. Like SPI, it is an alternative to USART in many embedded systems.
CAN
CAN is a serial communication protocol often used in automotive and industrial applications. It serves a different purpose and target applications than USART, thus a competitor.
USB
USB is a more modern and faster communication protocol that is often used as an alternative to USART, especially for higher data rates.
Ethernet
Ethernet provides network connectivity with much higher bandwidth. If network capability is needed, it serves as a competitor for USART for data transmission.
USART Complementary Technologies
GPIO
GPIO pins are used to control and monitor the USART module. They are essential for enabling and configuring the USART functionality.
FreeRTOS
FreeRTOS, or any RTOS, can manage tasks that use USART, handle interrupts and scheduling of USART communication within a real-time environment.
ADC
USART is often used to transmit data that has been sampled by an ADC. The ADC and USART often work together to collect data and transmit it to a host system.
