USART

Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver

Transmitter
It is a Communication Protocol for Serial
Data Transmission developed by the EIA
Data is sent in the form of PACKETS or FRAMES which
is compose of data bits and control bits..

STOP
BIT

PARITY
BIT

USART packet format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit.

Data Bits : 5-8 bits

Stop Bit: 0 or 1 or 2
Parity Bit : Optional (Even or Odd)

BAUD RATE : The number of Symbols

transmitted per second
Typical Values are 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200
etc..
Mode Of Transmission :
Asynchronous - Transfers a single byte at a
time.
Synchronous- Transfers a block of data
(characters) at a time.

In Robomart Arduino Board

PD0 is Receiver (RxD) Pin

PD1 is Transmitter (TxD)
USART
Pin 3 Needs To Be Enabled By The User Through
Software..

Serial Port
It is a set of 9 PINS used for serial data
communication between two Cs or between
C and a Computer

THIS IS
SERIAL
PORT

RS-232
The RS-232 standard defines the voltage levels
that correspond to logical one and logical zero
levels in serial communication..
Valid signals are plus or minus 3 to 15 volts.
The range near zero volts is not a valid RS-232
level..
Logic one is defined as a negative voltage and
logic zero is positive..

Voltage Levels in Our Microcontroller are

Logic High= 5Volt
Logic Low= 0 Volt

USART I/O DATA REGISTER

This Register stores the data to be transmitted or

data
being Received
UDRE bit in UCSRA Register should be set
and transmitter to be enabled for Data
Transmission

UCSRA-USART Control and Status

Register A

RXC bit is set when data is available in the

receive buffer and cleared when the
receive buffer is empty..
TXC bit is set when data transmission is
complete
UDRE bit is set when transmit buffer (UDR)
is ready to receive new data

UCSRB-USART Control and Status

Register B

RXCIE: Receive Complete interrupt will be generated if RXCIE bit

is set.
TXCIE: Transmit Complete interrupt will be generated if TXCIE bit
is set.
UDRIE: Data Register Empty interrupt will be generated if UDRIE
bit is set.
RXEN: To enable the USART receiver ..
TXEN: To enable the USART transmitter..

UCSRC-USART Control and Status

Register C

URSEL: This bit must be one to write the

UCSRC...
SEL:
To select between Asynchronous and Synchron
de..
UPM1 & UPM0: To Select Parity Bit..
USBS : To Select Stop Bit..
UCZ1 & UCZ0: To Select Character Size..
UCPOL: To Select Clock Polarity..

UBRRL &UBRRH-USART Baud Rate

Register

This Register Stores The Value of Baud rate .

To write in the UBRRH , URSEL bit must be
zero.
