OX16C950 Overview
The OX16C950 is a single-channel ultra-high performance UART offering data rates up to 15Mbps and 128-deep transmitter and receiver FIFOs. Deep FIFOs reduce CPU overhead and allow utilisation of higher data rates. It is software patible with the widely used industrystandard 16C550 type devices and patibles, as well as other OX16C95x family devices.
