A universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver and transmitter, or USART for short, is a device which can act as a UART or SPI device. |
USART peripherals typically have a register setting which can select either synchronous (SPI) or asynchronous (UART) mode. This makes these peripherals very flexible. However, switching back and forth between the two is not recommended, due to initialization timing glitches which may confuse connected devices.
