Let's say you have a 8-bit and 32-bit uart (universal asynchr. receiver/transmitter), which one of them would you say would be more tolerant to the differences in the bata bit rate? in general...
chroot said:But... doesn't every byte have its own start bit, even in a "32-bit" UART?

UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter, and it is a communication protocol commonly used for serial communication between devices.
The data rate, also known as baud rate, refers to the speed at which data is transmitted between devices. In UART, 8-bit data rates transmit 8 bits of data at a time, while 32-bit data rates transmit 32 bits of data at a time. This means that 32-bit data rates have a higher capacity for data transmission.
There are a few reasons why someone may choose 8-bit data rates over 32-bit in UART. One reason is that 8-bit data rates are more commonly supported by devices. Additionally, 8-bit data rates may be more suitable for simpler or less data-intensive communication needs.
Using 32-bit data rates in UART allows for faster and more efficient data transmission. This is especially beneficial for devices that require high-speed communication or deal with large amounts of data. 32-bit data rates also have a higher potential for error detection and correction.
No, 8-bit and 32-bit data rates cannot be used together in UART. Both devices communicating through UART must use the same data rate in order for successful communication to occur.
