#118870 - I know that, but 99.17% of all '51 UART Responding to: ???'s previous message |
If you have to communicate over a long distance, with large data volume at a high rate, ASYNC should be your absolute last choice.
I'm doing RS-485 ASYNC at 460bps from one end of a bus to the other not only on the timer used as its baud rate generator there are quite a few derivatives with a dedicated baud rate generator. Also many SILabs derivatives (e.g. f12x/f13x) allow a separate clock for the baud rate generation. Now, I don't promote the use of Mode-0 where it won't work. There are devices other than PC's in the world though, and you should recognize that they don't all "talk" ASYNC protocol. I know that, but 99.17% of all '51 UART communication is to asynch devices (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, J1708, MODBUS, CAN and more) Erik |
