Abstract
An interface circuit enabling serial data communication between a master UART and a slave UART includes two master terminals, two slave terminals, and various logic gates and switches. If data are sent by the master UART before the interface circuit is internally configured, data are sent to both slave terminals. Data received from the slave UART internally configures the interface circuit to route slave transmit data to the master receiver and to route master transmit data to the slave receiver. A master UART including such an interface circuit is also disclosed.
