Datasheet Summary
INS8250/INS8250-B
National Sem iconductor
INS8250, INS8250-B Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
General Description
Each of these parts function as a serial data input/output interface in a microputer system. The system software determines the functional configuration of the UART via a TRI-STATE® 8-bit bidirectional data bus.
The UART performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters re ceived from the CPU. The CPU can read the plete status of the UART. Status information reported includes the type and condition of the transfer operations being per formed by the...
