XR16L784
HIGH PERFORMANCE 2.97V TO 5.5V QUAD UART
JULY 2008
REV. 1.2.3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR16L784¹ (784) is a quad Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). The
device is designed for high bandwidth requirement in
communication systems. The global interrupt source
register provides a complete interrupt status
indication for all 4 channels to speed up interrupt
parsing. Each UART has its own 16C550 compatible
set of configuration registers, transmit and receive
FIFOs of 64 bytes, fully programmable transmit and
receive FIFO level triggers, transmit and receive
FIFO level counters, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/
DSR hardware flow control with programmable
hysteresis, automatic software (Xon/Xoff) flow
control, IrDA (Infrared Data Association) encoder/
decoder, and a 16-bit general purpose timer/counter.
NOTE: 1 Covered by U.S. Patents #5,649,122 and #5,949,787
