  Universal asynchronous receiver transmitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A UART is usually an integrated circuit used for serial communications over a computer or peripheral device serial port.
The UART usually does not directly generate or receive the voltage levels that are put onto the wires interconnecting different equipment.
Beside traditional wires, the UART is used for communication over other serial channels such as an optical fiber, infrared, wireless Bluetooth in its Serial Port Profile (SPP) and the DC-LIN for power line communication.

 UART
The parallel side of a UART is usually connected to the bus of a computer.
The UART may be set up to interrupt the computer when data is received or when ready to transmit more data.
The UART's serial connections usually go via separate line driver and line receiver integrated circuits which provide the power and voltages required to drive the serial line and give some protection against noise on the line.

This allows the UART receiver to sample the incoming data with granularity of 1/16 the baud-rate period.
In the case of 16450 UART, once the start-bit is detected, the next data bit’s "center" can be assured to be 24 ticks minus 2 (worse case synchronizer uncertainty) later.

 16550 UART - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 16550 UART (universal asynchronous receiver transmitter) is made by National Semiconductor.
Both the hardware and software interface of the 16550 are backward compatible with the earlier 16450 UART.
It is an integrated circuit designed for implementing the electrical interface for serial communications; it is frequently used to implement the serial port for IBM PC compatible personal computers, where it is often connected to an RS-232 interface for modems, serial mice, printers, and similar peripherals.

 Interfacing The Serial / RS-232 Port
The UART incorporates a divide by 16 counter which simply divides the incoming clock signal by 16.
The UART only has a 8 bit data bus, thus this is where the two registers are used.
The only real use it has is to determine whether the UART is a 8250/8250B or a 8250A/16450 and even that is not very practical today as the 8250/8250B was never designed for AT's and can't hack the bus speed.

Data is tranferred within the computer in units of 1 to 8 bytes, with a separate wire for each bit within the byte.
The UART receives a byte and converts it to a sequence of voltage changes to represent the 0s and 1s on a single wire.
At the other end, a modem converts the sound back to voltages, and another UART converts the stream of 0s and 1s back into bytes of data.

 Procyon AVRlib: UART Driver/Function Library (uart.c)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This library provides both buffered and unbuffered transmit and receive functions for the AVR processor UART.  Buffered access means that the UART can transmit and receive data in the "background", while your code continues executing.  Also included are functions to initialize the UART, set the baud rate, flush the buffers, and check buffer status.
In general, UARTs are used to communicate with devices that are RS-232 compatible (RS-232 is a certain kind of serial port).
This function waits for the uart to be ready, therefore, consecutive calls to uartSendByte() will go only as fast as the data can be sent over the serial port.

 Serial and UART Tutorial
For example, when the device connected to the UART is a modem, the modem may report the presence of a carrier on the phone line while the computer may be able to instruct the modem to reset itself or to not take calls by raising or lowering one more of these extra signals.
The UART is usually capable of generating the continuous Spacing signal in response to a special command from the host processor.
Because the UARTs are not directly accessed by the PC processor in this type of communication system, it is not necessary for the vendor to use UARTs that are compatible with the 8250, 16450, or the 16550 UART.

What's in the modem is generally irrelevant.) A UART is present anywhere that a serial bit stream needs to be converted to a parallel byte stream, and vice versa.
The UARTs on most PC COM ports are based on National Semiconductor Ns8250 or Ns16450 chips (or silicon megacells inside VLSI chips where you can't replace them).
The Ns16550A UART has separate 16-byte transmit and receive FIFOs with configurable trigger levels, and can run reliably at clock rates up to 460,800 bps, although with current modem technology, there's no point in pushing your luck by going over 115,200 bps, and many modems have a max DCE-DTE (modem-computer) rate of 57,600.

 Interfacing 8051 UART to I2C slave
One problem with using the UART is that I2C bus is synchronous; you have a clock for every data bit to tell you when the bit is valid.
A UART is asynchronous (hence the 'A'); there's no extra clock line, and you time from the edge of the start bit, hoping that the transmit and receive clocks are close enough that you don't wander "out of the bit" and sample the wrong value.
There is plenty of code around detailing how to ise the uart and implementing an I2C master, all you need to do is come up with a method of connecting the two via software.
