High-Speed UART vs Standart UART

Hello
I have worked on LPC3250 on Phytec 1305.3 board. I have a question about HSUARTs:
Is there any difference between HSUART and UART regarding electrical interface?
Is it possible to communicate a standard serial port with a high speed UART by adjusting serial port parameters?
Thank you

  • The respective Datasheets will tell you that!

    "Is it possible to communicate a standard serial port with a high speed UART by adjusting serial port parameters?"

    By "standard serial port", I assume you mean the COM port(s) on a PC?
    Again, you will have to look at the specifications for your COM port(s) to determine what speeds they support.

    I have some USB-to-Serial adaptors which support up to 921600 baud - I call that quite "high".

    Note that a PC COM port must not be connected direct to any UART; you must use a suitable "RS232" transceiver - which must, of course, be specified for the maximum speed required...
