Proven UART and bridge technology

NXP’s UARTs and bridges add reliable interface solutions to handle communication among various bus interfaces, helping overcome the limitations of the host bus interface to the peripherals.


Key features and benefits

  • Supports a wide range of interfaces: I2C, SPI or parallel (Intel 16 mode or Motorola 68 mode)
  • 64-byte or 128-byte transmit FIFO to reduce the bandwidth requirement of external CPU
  • 64-byte or 128-byte receive FIFO with error flags to reduce the bandwidth requirement of external CPU
  • Dedicated IrDA mode for infrared transmission
  • Automotive AEC-Q100 compliant qualification for highest reliability and robustness
  • I²C, SPI or parallel bus interface
  • 64-byte or 128-byte FIFOs (depending on device)
  • Programmable Baud rates up to 5 Mbit/s in 16x clock mode
  • Supply voltage range 2.5 V to 3.3 V
  • Industrial operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C

Key applications

  • Telematics
  • Navigation radio
  • Instrument clusters
