Texas Instruments TA550C
The TL16C550C and the TL16C550CI are functional upgrades of the TL16C550B asynchronous communications element (ACE), which in turn is a functional upgrade of the TL16C450. This relieves the CPU of excessive software overhead by buffering received and transmitted characters.FEATURES
● Programmable Auto-RTS and Auto-CTS● In Auto-CTSMode, CTS Controls Transmitter
● In Auto-RTS Mode, RCV FIFO Contents and Threshold Control RTS
● Serial and Modem Control Outputs Drive a RJ11 Cable Directly When Equipment Is on the Same Power Drop
● Capable of Running With All Existing TL16C450 Software
● After Reset, All Registers Are Identical to the TL16C450 Register Set
● Up to 16-MHz Clock Rate for up to 1-Mbaud Operation
● In the TL16C450 Mode, Hold and Shift Registers Eliminate the Need for Precise Synchronization Between the CPU and Serial Data
● Programmable Baud Rate Generator Allows Division of Any Input Reference Clock by 1 to (216 −1) and Generates an Internal 16×Clock
● Standard Asynchronous Communication Bits (Start, Stop, and Parity) Added to or Deleted From the Serial Data Stream
● 5-V and 3.3-V Operation
● Independent Receiver Clock Input
● Transmit, Receive, Line Status, and Data Set Interrupts Independently Controlled
● Fully Programmable Serial Interface...
