Figure 19-1. USART Block Diagram
Note:
The dashed boxes in the block diagram separate the three main parts of the USART (listed from
the top): Clock generator, Transmitter and Receiver. Control Registers are shared by all units.
The clock generation logic consists of synchronization logic for external clock input used by syn-
chronous slave operation, and the baud rate generator. The XCK (transfer clock) pin is only
used by synchronous transfer mode. The Transmitter consists of a single write buffer, a serial
Shift Register, Parity Generator and control logic for handling different serial frame formats. The
write buffer allows a continuous transfer of data without any delay between frames. The
Receiver is the most complex part of the USART module due to its clock and data recovery
units. The recovery units are used for asynchronous data reception. In addition to the recovery
units, the Receiver includes a parity checker, control logic, a Shift Register and a two level
receive buffer (UDR). The Receiver supports the same frame formats as the Transmitter, and
can detect Frame Error, Data OverRun and Parity Errors.
