USART is the acronym for Universal Synchronous-Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter, and is the advancement of the old UART that was unable to handle synchronous communications; in computers, it deals with the management of communication via the RS-232 interface.
Generally, in the communication between devices, there is a transmitter and receiver that can exchange data bidirectionally, thus it happens for example in the communication between the microcontroller and third-party peripherals.
What is Serial Communication?
In serial communications, the transmitting device sends information (bitstream) through a single channel one bit at a time. Serial communications are distinguished from parallel communications where the bitstream is sent over several d ...
