DESCRIPTION
The NS16C2552 and NS16C2752 are dual channel
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
(DUART). The footprint and the functions are
compatible to the PC16552D, while new features are
added to the UART device. These features include
low voltage support, 5V tolerant inputs, enhanced
features, enhanced register set, and higher data rate.
The two serial channels are completely independent
of each other, except for a common CPU interface
and crystal input. On power-up both channels are
functionally identical to the PC16552D. Each channel
can operate with on-chip transmitter and receiver
FIFO’s (in FIFO mode).
• Auto Hardware Flow Control (Auto-CTS, Auto-
RTS)
• Auto Software Flow Control (Xon, Xoff, and
Xon-any)
• Fully Programmable Character Length (5, 6, 7,
or 8) with Even, Odd, or No Parity, Stop Bit
• Adds or Deletes Standard Asynchronous
Communication Bits (Start, Stop, and Parity) to
or from the Serial Data
• Independently Controlled and Prioritized
Transmit and Receive Interrupts
• Complete Line Status Reporting Capabilities
• Line Break Generation and Detection
• Internal Diagnostic Capabilities
– Loopback Controls for Communications
Link Fault Isolation
– Break, Parity, Overrun, Framing Error
Detection
• Programmable Baud Generators Divide any
Input Clock by 1 to (216 - 1) and Generate the
16 X clock
• IrDA v1.0 Wireless Infrared Encoder/Decoder
In the FIFO mode each channel is capable of
buffering 16 bytes (for NS16C2552) or 64 bytes (for
NS16C2752) of data in both the transmitter and
receiver. The receiver FIFO also has additional 3 bits
of error data per location. All FIFO control logic is on-
chip to minimize system software overhead and
maximize system efficiency.
To improve the CPU processing bandwidth, the data
transfers between the DUART and the CPU can be
done using DMA controller. Signaling for DMA
transfers is done through two pins per channel
(TXRDY and RXRDY). The RXRDYfunction is
multiplexed on one pin with the OUT2 and BAUDOUT
functions. The configuration is through Alternate
Function Register.
The fundamental function of the UART is converting
between parallel and serial data. Serial-to-parallel
conversion is done on the UART receiver and
parallel-to-serial conversion is done on the
transmitter. The CPU can read the complete status of
each channel at any time. Status information reported
includes the type and condition of the transfer
operations being performed by the DUART, as well
as any error conditions (parity, overrun, framing, or
break interrupt).
• DMA Operation (TXRDY/RXRDY)
• Concurrent Write to DUART Internal Register
