EI16C550 Overview
The Epic Ei16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) is a CMOS-VLSI munication device in a single package. The UART performs serial to parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM, and parallel-to-serial conversions on data characters received from the CPU. The CPU can read the plete status of the UART at any time during the functional operation.
EI16C550 Key Features
- 5, 6, 7, or 8 bit characters
- Even, odd, or no-parity bit generation and detection
- 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bit generation
- Baud generation (DC to 56k baud) False start bit detection plete status reporting capabilities
- Loopback controls for munications link fault isolation
- Break, parity overrun, and framing error simulation
