23.2 External Signal Description
Table 23-1 briefly describes the UART module signals.
Figure 23-2 shows a signal configuration for a UART/RS-232 interface.

23.3 Memory Map/Register Definition
This section contains a detailed description of each register and its specific function. Flowcharts in
Section 23.5, “Initialization/Application Information ,” describe basic UART module programming.
Writing control bytes into the appropriate registers controls the operation of the UART module.
NOTE
UART registers are accessible only as bytes.
NOTE
Interrupt can mean an interrupt request asserted to the CPU or a DMA
request.

Signal Description
UTXDn Transmitter Serial Data Output. UTXDn is held high (mark condition) when the transmitter is
disabled, idle, or operating in the local loopback mode. Data is shifted out on UTXDn on the
falling edge of the clock source, with the least significant bit (lsb) sent first.
URXDn Receiver Serial Data Input. Data received on URXDn is sampled on the rising edge of the clock
source, with the lsb received first.
UCTSn Clear-to- Send. This input can generate an interrupt on a change of state.
URTSn Request-to-Send. This output can be programmed to be negated or asserted automatically by
the receiver or the transmitter. When connected to a transmitter’s UCTSn, URTSn can control
serial data flow.
