XR17V354
HIGH PERFORMANCE QUAD PCI-EXPRESS UART
APRIL 2015
REV. 1.0.4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17V3541 (V354) is a single chip 4-channel
PCI Express (PCIe) UART (Universal Asynchronous
Receiver and Transmitter), optimized for higher
performance and lower power. The V354 serves as a
single lane PCIe bridge to 4 independent enhanced
16550 compatible UARTs. The V354 is compliant to
PCIe 2.0 Gen 1 (2.5 GT/s).
In addition to the UART channels, the V354 has 16
multi-purpose I/Os (MPIOs), a 16-bit general purpose
counter/timer and a global interrupt status register to
optimize interrupt servicing.
Each UART of the V354 has many enhanced
features such as the 256-bytes TX and RX FIFOs,
programmable Fractional Baud Rate Generator,
Automatic Hardware or Software Flow Control, Auto
RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction Control, programmable
TX and RX FIFO Trigger Levels, TX and RX FIFO
Level Counters, infrared mode, and data rates up to
31.25 Mbps. The V354 is available in a 176-pin
FPBGA package (13 x 13 mm).
