I want to use a device who has an USART interface. But my microcontroller has only a UART communication. Can I connect the UART_TX and UART_RX on USART_RX and USART_TX?
Thanks

1\$\begingroup\$ Usually devices with a USART can be used synchronously or asynchronously, this detail will be in the manual for the device. If it can be used asynchronously then it will work as you intend. \$\endgroup\$ – Colin Aug 29 '18 at 8:37

2\$\begingroup\$ Basically: if your device can be used in UART mode then it can be used in UART mode. You won't get a better answer until you ask a better question \$\endgroup\$ – Maple Aug 29 '18 at 8:50

1\$\begingroup\$ A USART is by definition capable of asynchronous operation. The distinction from a UART is that it also offers synchronous modes. For contrast, a typical SPI or I2S engine can only operate in synchronous mode. \$\endgroup\$ – Chris Stratton Aug 29 '18 at 8:53

\$\begingroup\$ Thank you for your answer. I want to use this component in USART: ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/40001723D.pdf With a micrcocontroller I want to used his UART to send it in USART pin to control the PWM. \$\endgroup\$ – Tack Aug 29 '18 at 9:08

1\$\begingroup\$ @Tack the linked datasheet says "The EUSART, also known as a Serial Communications Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous system" so you're fine. \$\endgroup\$ – Colin Aug 29 '18 at 9:28

Yes you can if you use only asynchronous communication (ie. without separate clock line).
By definition an UART is a special case of an USART.
