UART Function
The UART transmits and receives data in bit frames as shown in 
.
Each data frame is between 7 and 12 bits long, depending on the size of data 
programmed and if parity and stop bits are enabled.
The frame begins with a start bit that is represented by a high-to-low transition.
Next, 5 to 8 bits of data are transmitted, beginning with the least significant bit. An 
optional parity bit follows, which is set if even parity is enabled and an odd number 
of ones exist within the data byte; or, if odd parity is enabled and the data byte 
contains an even number of ones.
The data frame ends with one, one-and-one-half, or two stop bits (as programmed 
by users), which is represented by one or two successive bit periods of a logic one. 
Each UART has a Transmit FIFO and a Receive FIFO and each holds 64 characters of 
data. There are two separate methods for moving data into/out of the FIFOs—
Interrupts and Polling.
