Implementation of Uart On An Fpga

This document discusses the implementation of a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) on an FPGA. It begins with an introduction to serial communication and the advantages of serial over parallel. It then describes asynchronous and synchronous communication techniques. The document outlines the features and working of UART, including the transmitter and receiver operations. It also discusses the UART frame format and implementation of UART on a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA, including the design process and simulation results.

Introduction
What is Serial Communication?

Why Serial Communication over Parallel Communication ?

o Advantages and Disadvantages

UART
A Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) is a type of asynchronous receiver/ transmitter , a piece of computer hardware that translate data between parallel and serial form.

Features of UART
Serial Transmission in full duplex mode. Used in conjunction with communication standards such as EIA RS232, RS422 or RS 485. Transmits data in frames. Data format and transmission speeds are configurable. Used to connect two devices with different clock speeds such as a PC and an I/O device.

Frame Based

RS232
RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232) Standards: bit 1 represented by -3~-25V bit 0 represented by +3~+25V MAX232 converts the TTL logic levels (+5V and 5V) to the RS232 voltage levels and vice versa
