20.1.1

Dual USART

The ATmega64A has two USART’s, USART0 and USART1. The functionality for both USART’s

is described below. USART0 and USART1 have different I/O Registers as shown in “Register

Summary” on page 373. Note that in ATmega103 compatibility mode, USART1 is not available,

neither is the UBRR0H or UCRS0C registers. This means that in ATmega103 compatibility

mode, the ATmega64A supports asynchronous operation of USART0 only.

20.2

Overview

The Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is a

highly flexible serial communication device.

A simplified block diagram of the USART Transmitter is shown in Figure 20-1. CPU accessible

I/O Registers and I/O pins are shown in bold.
