MCU with 3 UARTs - ratemonotonic - 2007-09-07 11:32:00

Hi all,

Has anyone used a Low power MCU with 3 hardware UARTs.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Niladri Bose.

How low is low?

If low means less than 10mA at 3.3V,  I've used all three
hardware UARTS on the AT91SAM7S256.

The AVR32 series often have 4 UARTS, with varying support for
handshaking and modem control.

The STR7 and STR9 ARM MCUs from ST has three UARTs.

Thanks , is there any 8 bit micros with 3 uarts?

Afaik, there is an AVR with 4 UARTS.
lookup the atmel site. Something like ATMega64x

Yes, the ASIX AX110xx series have 3 uarts, and a high speed core:

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=ProductList&PLiner

Pops up 4th for a google for
80C51 core "three uart"

Or, you can use something like the tiny AT89LP21x from Atmel, as a
low cost, (very) Smart SPI uart, and add as many UARTs as you like.
NXP also have fixed function SPI-UART devices.

Atmel AVR ATmega640/1280/2560 - they have four.

Thank very much for helpful suggestions , I will read all these
datasheets.

There might be something in the Cypress Psoc range that can be configured for 3 UARTS. 

If one of the UARTs is transmit-only, you can sometimes use SPI ports to generate UART data, if the
data length and clocking options are sufficiently flexible, e.g. the SSP on many of NXP's LPC2xxx
ARM parts can do this.
