Principles of Asynchronous Serial Communication
Brought to you by the IEEE Consultants Network of Long Island (LICN)
First developed in the early 1900s, asynchronous serial communications continue to find wide application in present day electronic designs. The presentation will cover the following topics:
- Asynchronous serial communication defined.
- Baud rate, parity, start and stop bits, and handshaking.
- Protocols: TTL/logic level, RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485.
- USB to serial converters and managing them under Windows.
- Windows terminal emulators.
- Cables, adapters, surge protection, and isolation.
- Serial to IP, Bluetooth, and fiber converters,
- Pitfalls 1: common practices that are not recommended but (sometimes) work.
- Pitfalls 2: practices that should work but don't always.
