In order to use this module, other parts of the system must be configured correctly, as described
below.

The USART pins may be multiplexed with the I/O Controller lines. The user must first configure
the I/O Controller to assign these pins to their peripheral functions. Unused I/O lines may be
used for other purposes.

To prevent the TXD line from falling when the USART is disabled, the use of an internal pull-up
is required. If the hardware handshaking feature or modem mode is used, the internal pull-up on
RTS must also be enabled.

All the pins of the modems may or may not be implemented on the USART. On USARTs not
equipped with the corresponding pins, the associated control bits and statuses have no effect on
the behavior of the USART.
