UART Modules
This chapter provides signal descriptions, operation, memory map, and register descriptions, an
initialization sequence of the three UART modules.
The MCF5253 contains three asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) that act independently. Each
UART is clocked by the system clock. This chapter applies to all three UARTs, which are functionally
identical. Refer to
Section 15.4, “UART Memory Map and Register Definitions,”
for addressing
differences.
Each UART module, shown in
, consists of the following functional areas:
•
Serial Communication Channel
•
16-Bit Baud-Rate Timer
•
Internal Channel Control Logic
•
Interrupt Control Logic
