Features

Key Features

  • 2 channel UART
  • 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V operation
  • 5 V tolerant on input only pins
  • Industrial temperature range
  • Pin and functionally compatible to 16C2450 and software compatible with INS8250, SC16C550
  • Up to 5 Mbit/s data rate at 5 V and 3.3 V and 3 Mbit/s at 2.5 V
  • 16-byte transmit FIFO to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the external CPU
  • 16-byte receive FIFO with error flags to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the external CPU
  • Independent transmit and receive UART control
