XR16L2552
2.25V TO 5.5V DUART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
SEPTEMBER 2010
REV. 1.1.2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR16L2552 (L2552) is a dual universal
asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART) with 5
volt tolerant inputs. The XR16L2552 is an improved
version of the ST16C2552 UART with lower operating
voltages and 5 volt tolerant inputs. The L2552
provides enhanced UART functions with 16 byte TX
and RX FIFOs, automatic hardware (RTS/CTS) and
software (Xon/Xoff) flow control, and a complete
modem control interface. Onboard status registers
provide the user with error indications and
operational status. Indepedendent programmable
baud rate generators are provided to select transmit
and receive clock rates up to 3.125Mbps. An internal
loop-back capability allows onboard diagnostics. The
L2552 provides block mode data transfers (DMA)
through FIFO controls. DMA transfer monitoring is
provided through the signals TXRDY# and RXRDY#.
An Alternate Function Register provides the user with
the ability to write the control registers for both UARTs
concurrently and selection of the Multi-Function
output (Baudout#, OP2#, or RXRDY#).
NOTE: 1 Covered by U.S. Patent #5,649,122.
