Description
Simple asynchronous serial controller (aka UART). Includes 4
byte receive and a 4 byte transmit FIFO (FIFO size can be easily
adjusted). External baud rate generator (included). Very small.
Features
- Implemented in Verilog
- Flow Control (CTS/RTS)
- 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, NO parity
- 4 byte receive FIFO
- 4 byte transmit FIFO
- Fully Synthesisable
- 102 LUTs in a Spartan II
Status
This core is fully functional and completed.
It was verified in hardware in an XESS XVC800 FPGA prototype
board with a Maxim RS232 line driver.
