4.2 Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART)

RL78 and MSPM0 both offer peripherals to perform asynchronous (clockless) communication. For the RL78's UART, the standard features are in the Serial Array Unit (SAU) peripherals use as UART, the advanced features are in the SAU, or stand-alone UART peripherals such as LIN-UART, DALI/UART, and so forth. And for MSPM0, the standard features are named main, and the advanced features are named extend. Additionally, MSPM0 offers functionality not available in RL78 devices such as IrDA hardware support, Smart card mode, and Hardware flow control and so forth.
