SC16C550 - Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with 16-byte FIFO and infrared (IrDA) encoder/decoder

This page provides the datasheet information for the SC16C550, a member of the SC1 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with 16-byte FIFO and infrared (IrDA) encoder/decoder family.

Datasheet Summary

Description

The SC16C550 is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications.

Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial data, and vice versa.

The UART can handle serial data rates up to 3 Mbits/s.

Features

  • of the SC16C550. Some of these added features are the 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs, automatic hardware or software flow control and Infrared encoding/decoding. The selectable auto-flow control feature significantly reduces software overload and increases system efficiency while in FIFO mode by automatically controlling serial data flow using RTS output and CTS input signals. The SC16C550 also provides DMA mode data transfers through FIFO trigger levels and the TXRDY and RXRDY signals. On-board.

SC16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with 16-byte FIFO and infrared (IrDA) encoder/decoder Rev. 05 — 19 June 2003 Product data 1. General description The SC16C550 is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial data, and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data rates up to 3 Mbits/s. The SC16C550 is pin compatible with the ST16C550, TL16C550 and PC16C550, and it will power-up to be functionally equivalent to the 16C450. Programming of control registers enables the added features of the SC16C550. Some of these added features are the 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs, automatic hardware or software flow control and Infrared encoding/decoding.
