Embedded Systems Engineering Lecture 08 (UART)

The document discusses serial communication using UART with the MSP430FR5739 microcontroller. It covers the basics of serial vs parallel communication, different types of serial protocols, and provides code examples for setting up UART communication on the MSP430 including pin configuration, register setup, baud rate calculation, and a polling transmit/receive loop.

Data Communication

Serial Communication Parallel Communication

• Sends data, sequentially, • Sends several data


one bit at a time over signals/bits
a communication channel. simultaneously over
Ex: - SPI, I2C, CAN several parallel channels.
Ex: - ISA, ATA, SCSI, PCI
Advantages of Serial
Communication
• Needs less amount of wires.
• Consumes less number of pins from Ics.
• A little space is enough.
• Speed has been improved over the years and is not an issue any more.
• Lot of MCUs provide built-in serial communication modules that can be easily
configured.
Types of serial communication

Synchronous – needs a common communication clock signal for the two


communicating devices
Asynchronous – no need of a common communication clock. Instead use
additional bits to maintain data stream.

Transmitter (UART)
• UART is one of asynchronous methods sending and receving serial data between two micro controllers.
• The transmition speed of the data between the micro controllers depends on the baud rate.
• Length of a data packet transmitted in UART is 12 bits.

Parity bit

• A bit which acts as a check on a set of binary values, calculated in such a way that
the number of 1s in the set plus the parity bit should always be even or odd.
• A word has even parity if the number of 1’s is even, and odd parity otherwise.
