1. General description
The SC16C652B is a 2 channel 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 5 Mbit/s.
The SC16C652B is pin compatible with the SC16C2550. It will power-up to be functionally
equivalent to the 16C2450. The SC16C652B provides enhanced UART functions with
32-byte FIFOs, modem control interface, DMA mode data transfer, and IrDA
encoder/decoder. The DMA mode data transfer is controlled by the FIFO trigger levels
and the TXRDY and RXRDY signals. On-board status registers provide the user with error
indications and operational status. System interrupts and modem control features may be
tailored by software to meet specific user requirements. An internal loop-back capability
allows on-board diagnostics. Independent programmable baud rate generators are
provided to select transmit and receive baud rates.
The SC16C652B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V and the industrial temperature range,
and is available in plastic LQFP48 and very small (Micro-UART) HVQFN32 packages.
