These signals are driven when data are transmitted orreceived and can be used to trigger any of the timers or the SCT.• In synchronous mode, set the clock frequency on pin U0/2/3_UCLK to 6 BASE_UART0/2/3_CLK.37.3 Features• 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs.• Register locations conform to ‘550 industry standard.• Receiver FIFO trigger points at 1, 4, 8, and 14 bytes.• Built-in baud rate generator.• UART mode allows for implementation of either software or hardware flow control.• RS-485/EIA-485 9-bit mode support with output enable.• Support for synchronous mode UART (USART).• IrDA interface (USART3 only).• DMA support.UM10503Chapter 37: LPC43xx USART0_2_3Rev. 1.3 — 6 July 2012 User manualTable 819.
