MD82C50A-5B
Description
The 82C50A Asynchronous munication Element (ACE) is a high performance programmable Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) and Baud Rate Generator (BRG) on a single chip. Using Intersil’s advanced Scaled SAJI IV CMOS Process, the ACE will support data rates from DC to 625K baud (0-10MHz clock). The ACE’s receiver circuitry converts start, data, stop, and parity bits into a parallel data word. The transmitter circuitry converts a parallel data word into serial form and appends the start, parity, and stop bits. The word length is programmable to 5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits. Stop bit selection provides a choice of 1,1.5, or 2 stop bits. The Baud Rate Generator divides the clock by a divisor programmable from 1 to 216-1 to provide standard RS-232C baud rates when using any one of three industry standard baud rate crystals (1.8432MHz, 2.4576MHz, or 3.072MHz). A programmable buffered clock output (BAUDOUT) provides either a buffered oscillator or 16X (16 times the data...
