GP4020
Universal Asynchronous Receive/Transmit
(UART1 and UART2)
The full duplex asynchronous channels of UART1 and
UART2 provide RS232 type interfaces, which support
an XON/XOFF software protocol. The Receive and
Transmit channels are double buffered. The UARTs
may be polled, or may use an interrupt scheme for
module bus transfers. An internal Baud rate generator
in each UART can provide selectable data rates,
derived from on-chip sources for an Rx/Tx pair.
Directly-triggered DMA transfers with each UART are
also possible without the need for CPU intervention.

Electrical Characteristics
TAMB = -40°C to +85°C, VDD = +3·0V to +3·6V (+3·3V nominal). The input thresholds and output voltage limits for the
logic signal pins are tested and guaranteed by production test. All other parameters are guaranteed by characterisation
and design. They apply within the specified ambient temperature and supply voltage ranges unless otherwise specified.
Use in conjunction with the GP4020 GPS Baseband Processor Design Manual (DM5280).
