UART

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006289

A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, a hardware device that translates data between parallel and serial forms, enabling asynchronous serial communication between devices. It handles the timing and framing of data bits, adding start, stop, and parity bits for reliable transmission. UARTs are commonly found in microcontrollers for communication with peripherals like GPS modules or Bluetooth devices.
