MCU with 3 UARTs

Started by ratemonotonic September 7, 2007
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. Mark Borgerson

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. Regards Anton Erasmus

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 Rene -- Ing.Buero R.Tschaggelar - http://www.ibrtses.com & commercial newsgroups - http://www.talkto.net

Yes, the ASIX AX110xx series have 3 uarts, and a high speed core: http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=ProductList&PLine=72 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. -jg

Atmel AVR ATmega640/1280/2560 - they have four. Mit freundlichen Gr&#4294967295;&#4294967295;en Frank-Christian Kr&#4294967295;gel

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.
