A blog on RS232 and UART I found my presentation on RS232 from my college days, so I thought it would be a great idea to share it here. You can download this as a presentation HERE . But I have added a little bit more content to it and typed it in below. I hope this helps you. RS232 (Recommended Standard 232) and UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter) are serial communication standards. A simple explanation of RS232 and UART without diving into anything too technical would be like this: They are serial communication standards which clearly define how each byte of data should be transferred over a communication channel. They serialize each byte of data and send them one byte after the other. Each byte is sent serially, as one bit after the other. [read IInd paragraph of the topic RS232 Standard, to understand difference between UART and RS232] The text below concentrates on RS232 than on UART and if you came here hoping to understand everything from ...
