Universal asynchronous receiver transmitter. The microchip with programming that controls a computer's interface to its attached serial devices. Specifically, it provides the computer with the RS-232C Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface so that it can "talk" to and exchange data with modems and other serial devices.
A device, usually an integrated circuit chip, that performs the parallel-to-serial conversion of digital data to be transmitted and the serial-to-parallel conversion of digital data that has been transmitted.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter
Pronounced u-art, and short for universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, the UART is a computer component that handles asynchronous serial communication. Every computer contains a UART to manage the serial ports, and all internal modems have their own UART. As modems have become increasingly fast, the UART has come under greater scrutiny as the cause of transmission bottlenecks. If you are purchasing a fast external modem, make sure that the computer's UART can handle the modem's maximum transmission rate. The newer 16550 UART contains a 16-byte buffer, enabling it to support higher transmission rates than the older 8250 UART.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is an integrated circuit that performs peripheral interfacing functions with serial devices. The functions typically include: Serialization of data on output Deserialization of data on input Baud rate generation Asynchronous start/stop and parity bit detection/generation
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter. A chip that acts as the intermediary between the computer and another device such as a terminal adapter. The 16550 is the current standard. 16450 and 8250 are older versions which do not support data transfer at ISDN speeds.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. An IC that converts parallel data to serial data and vice versa. UARTs are the backbone of virtually all RS-232/485 computer interface boards.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. The chip that takes parallel data from the PC and converts it to serial so that it can be sent out the serial port.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmit chip, used as communications (COM) port in personal computers. Maximum data rates vary with model; the National Semiconductor 16550A
A module composed of a circuit that contains both the receiving and transmitting circuits required for asynchronous serial communication.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter. A computer’s UART chip dictates the maximum rate a computer can send and receive data over its serial ports.
The controlling component of a serial port. There are three common types of UARTs: 8250, 16450, and 16550, which are capable of safe transmission speeds of 19,200 bps, 38,400 bps, and 57,600 bps respectively, though higher speeds are sometimes possible. Our internal modems have 16550 UARTs built in. External modems do not have UARTs.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. Common name for the hardware that drives an RS232 serial port. See also: RS232

Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter, an integrated circuit that will receive and transmit serial data, most commonly found in modems.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. A communication chip that converts parallel bytes into singular bits for serial transmission over modems and serial ports. Because it's not synchronized with the system clock, a UART chip also has the receiving and transmitting circuits needed for start and stop signals that tell the communicating devices when a packet of information starts and ends.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. An 8-bit-parallel-to-serial and serial-to-8-bit-parallel converter, combined with parity and start-detect circuitry and sometimes even FIFO buffers. Used widely in asynchronous serial-communications interfaces, (e.g. modems).
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) is an integrated circuit that contains the software programming control of the PC serial port.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter. Serial data protocol that transfers data at set data (BAUD) rates. These data rates are based on transitions of the data at set time periods; no clock is transmitted between the transmitter and receiver.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. Integrated circuit, attached to the parallel bus of a computer, used for serial communications. The UART translates between serial and parallel signals, provides transmission clocking, and buffers data sent to or from the computer.
Abbreviation for "Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter"] The UART is a computer chip that handles the traffic in and out of your serial communication (comm) ports. The UART is a common source of bottlenecks in a computer/modem relationship. Newer computers use the 16550 UART chip which has a 16-bit buffer. This has helped keep pace with today's faster modems.
Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter. A serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial converter.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. The device contained within all DTE and DCE equipment that performs the transfer of serial data to or from the DCE or DTE. High speed communication requires a superior UART to maintain reliable performance. The 16550 UART is commonly used in high speed serial cards on PC compatible computers.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter Generically, this refers to any device capable of implementing a variety of asynchronous serial protocols, such as RS-232, HDLC and SDLC. In this context, it refers to the operating mode of the SCCs which provides this functionality.
