  1. Serial Communications Introduction to UART and USART Intel 8250 and 8251

  2. Outline • Concept of serial communications • Synchronous, Asynchronous • RS-232 standard • Hand shaking • UART and USART chips • 8250 and 8251 chips

  3. What is Serial Communication

  4. Serial Communication Types • In Terms of Data on a Line • Asynchronous • Synchronous • In Terms of Number of Senders • Simplex • Half duplex • Full duplex

  5. Transfer Types

  6. Asynchronous Data Framing Sending Character ‘A’ = 0x41 on the Line Idle (high): Mark Low: Space Overhead? (parity, start, stop)

  7. Vocabulary • DTE • data terminal equipment • e.g. computer, terminal • DCE • data communication equipment • connects DTE to communication lines • e.g. modem • Data Transfer Rate • Baud Rate Baud (Symbol representing n bits) • BPS Bit per second

  8. RS-232 Standard • EIA 232 = ITU-T V.24/V.28 • Specifies the interface between DTE and DCE: • V.28 : mechanical and electrical characteristics • V.24 : functional and procedural characteristics • Even used in applications where there is no DCE • e.g. connecting computer to printer, magnetic card reader, robot, … etc. • Introduced in 1962 but is still widely used • Stand for Recommended Standard

  9. DTE Connections

  10. Mechanical Characteristics • 25-pin connector • 9-pin connector is more commonly found in IBM-PC but it covers signals for asynchronous serial communication only • Use male connector on DTE and female connector on DCE • Note: all signal names are viewed from DTE

  11. 25-Pin RS232 Connector

  12. 9-Pin RS232 Connector

  13. Electrical Characteristics • Single-ended • one wire per signal, voltage levels are with respect to system common (i.e. signal ground) • Mark: –3V to –15V • represent Logic 1, Idle State (OFF) • Space: +3 to +15V • represent Logic 0, Active State (ON) • Usually swing between –12V to +12V • Recommended maximum cable length is 15m, at 20kbps

  14. TTL to RS-232 Line drivers and line receivers

  15. Example RS-232 Frame Format Start bit ASCII Parity Stop bit 111101000001111 A Idle

  16. RS232 Logic Waveform

  17. Function of Signals • TD: transmitted data • RD: received data • DSR: data set ready • indicate whether DCE is powered on • DTR: data terminal ready • indicate whether DTR is powered on • turning off DTR causes modem to hang up the line • RI: ring indicator • ON when modem detects phone call

  18. Function of Signals • DCD: data carrier detect • ON when two modems have negotiated successfully and the carrier signal is established on the phone line • RTS: request to send • ON when DTE wants to send data • Used to turn on and off modem’s carrier signal in multi-point (i.e. multi-drop) lines • Normally constantly ON in point-to-point lines • CTS: clear to send • ON when DCE is ready to receive data • SG: signal ground

  19. Flow Control • Means to ask the transmitter to stop/resume sending in data • Required when: • DTE to DCE speed > DCE to DCE speed (e.g. terminal speed = 115.2kbps and line speed = 33.6kbps, in order to benefit from modem’s data compression protocol) • without flow control, the buffer within modem will overflow – sooner or later • the receiving end takes time to process the data and thus cannot be always ready to receive

  20. Hardware Flow Control • RTS/CTS • the transmitting end activates RTS to inform the receiving end that it has data to send • if the receiving end is ready to receive, it activates CTS • normally used between computer and modem • computer is always ready to receive data but modem is not, because terminal speed > link speed

  21. Software Flow Control • Xon/Xoff • when the buffer within the receiving end is nearly full, Xoff is sent to the transmitting end to ask it to stop • when data have been processed by the receiving end and the buffer has space again, Xon is sent to the transmitting end to notify it to resume • advantage: only three wires are required (TD, RD and GND) • disadvantage: confusion arises when the transmitted data (e.g. a graphics file) contains a byte equal to 13H (Xoff)

  22. RS-232 (con) • Communication between two nodes Software Handshaking Hardware Handshaking datatransmission Are you ready to receive? RTS RTS CTS CTS No x-off receiver receiver transmitter transmitter x-on CTS CTS Yes TD RD datatransmission Send character

  23. Null Modem Cables • Used to directly connect two DTEs together • Many possibilities – depending on whether and how the two DTEs handshake (i.e. doing flow control)
