DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TL16C550D and the TL16C550DI are speed and operating voltage upgrades (but functional equivalents) of
the TL16C550C asynchronous communications element (ACE), which in turn is a functional upgrade of the
TL16C450. Functionally equivalent to the TL16C450 on power up (character or TL16C450 mode), the
TL16C550D and the TL16C550DI, like the TL16C550C, can be placed in an alternate FIFO mode. This relieves
the CPU of excessive software overhead by buffering received and transmitted characters. The receiver and
transmitter FIFOs store up to 16 bytes including three additional bits of error status per byte for the receiver
FIFO. In the FIFO mode, there is a selectable autoflow control feature that can significantly reduce software
overload and increase system efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow using RTS output and CTS
input signals.
