Abstract
Parallel data is serialized and transmitted and asynchronous data is received and placed into parallel bytes using a hardware assisted interface. The interface can be driven with very little overhead to the DSP. Additional timing registers and enhanced data buffers decrease the necessary DSP resource commitment. Furthermore the hardware settings in the interface can be adjusted by the DSP to optimize the interface's performance in transmitting various asynchronous protocols.
