Question 2

Two devices are connected by a asynchronous serial link (UART) as discussed in class and in the text and lab manual. For all parts of this question, the sender is configured at 28000 baud, 7 data bits, 2 stop bits. Note that ASCII codes are in Appendix E, page 791.
The sender device sends an ASCII code of ‘M’ to the other device.

If the receiving device is configured at 56000 baud, what will it receive as a character?

Answer

f

Full Solution

This is double the transmit rate so the reciever will get bad information. Expected data transfer rate is shown at the bottom of the answer from Question 1. It will Read (LSB first) 0110011 [First zero is in start bit of transmission]

This is an ‘f’ in ASCII
