UART

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Tansmitter is a type of "asynchronous receiver/transmitter", it is a piece of computer Hardware that translates data between parallel and serial interfaces. Used for serial data telecommunication, a UART converts bytes of data to and from Asynchronous start-stop bit streams represented as binary electrical impulses.

UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with other communication standards such as RS-232.
