Term: UART
Definition: UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter, a hardware communication protocol for asynchronous serial communication using TX and RX lines.
Term: FIFO Buffer
Definition: FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer is used in UART peripherals to temporarily store incoming or outgoing data, improving communication efficiency.
Term: Baud Rate
Definition: Baud rate refers to the speed of data transmission in bits per second, configurable in UART to match the requirements of connected devices.
Term: Error Handling
Definition: Error handling in UART communication includes detection and management of overrun, framing, and parity errors to ensure reliable data transmission.
Term: Flow Control
Definition: Flow control mechanisms like RTS/CTS are employed in UART to prevent data loss by managing data transmission rates between devices.
