Conference Paper

Asynchronous Serial Communications

Authors: Moses, Bob

AES Conference: 13th International Conference: Computer-Controlled Sound Systems · Paper 13-021 · December 1994

Abstract

The core technology behind most computer-controlled and networked audio systems is asynchronous serial communications. This paper provides a tutorial on the theory and application of serial communications technologies common in the audio industry, such as MIDI and PA-422. General principles and terminology are discussed, including UARTs, protocols, and physical interfacing technologies such as RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, current loops, and fiber optics.
