UART Parity Bit and Frame Structure
UART Frame Format UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) sends data in a structured frame that includes the following components: Start Bit: Always 0; indicates the beginning of the frame. Data Bits: The actual payload, typically 5 to 8 bits. Parity Bit (optional): Used for simple error detection. Stop Bit(s): One or two bits set to 1; mark the end of the frame. Parity Bit Modes Even Parity: The parity bit is set such that the total number of 1s (including the parity bit) is even. ...
