Intel® Serial I/O Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) Controllers
The PCH implements three independent UART interfaces, UART0, UART1 and UART2. Each UART interface is a 4-wire interface supporting up to 6.25 Mbit/s.
The interfaces can be used in the low-speed, full-speed, and high-speed modes. The UART communicates with serial data ports that conform to the RS-232 interface protocol.
UART2 only implements the UART Host controller and does not incorporate a DMA controller which is implemented for UART0 and UART1. Therefore, UART2 is restricted to operate in PIO mode only
The UART interfaces support the following features:
- Up to 6.25 Mbits/s Auto Flow Control mode as specified in the 16750 standard
- Transmitter Holding Register Empty (THRE) interrupt mode
- 64-byte TX and 64-byte RX host controller FIFOs
- DMA support with 64-byte DMA FIFO per channel (up to 32-byte burst)
- Functionality based on the 16550 industry standards
- Programmable character properties, such as number of data bits per character (5-8), optional parity bit (with odd or even select) and number of stop bits (1, 1.5, or 2)
- Line break generation and detection
- DMA signaling with two programmable modes
- Prioritized interrupt identification
- Programmable FIFO enable/disable
- Programmable serial data baud rate
- Modem and status lines are independently controlled
- Programmable BAUD RATE supported (baud rate = (serial clock frequency)/(16xdivisor))
- SIR mode is not supported.
- External read enable signal for RAM wake up when using external RAMs is not supported.
