FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The Ei16C554 is Universal Asynchronous Receiver
and Transmitter with 16 byte transmit and receive
FIFO. A programmable baud rate generator is provided
to select transmit and receive clock rates from 50 Hz to
1.5MHz.
•
•
5V Operation
Pin to pin and functional compatible to
16C454
•

•
16 byte transmit FIFO
The Ei16C554 is an improved version of the Ei16C550
UART with higher operating speed and lower access
time. The Ei16C554 on board status registers provides
the error conditions, type and status of the transfer
operation being performed. Included is complete
MODEM control capability, and a processor interrupt
system that may be software tailored to the user?s
requirements. The Ei16C554 provides internal loop-
back capability for on board diagnostic testing.
16 byte receive FIFO with error flags
Modem control signals ( CTSÔ, RTSÔ,
DSRÔ, DTRÔ, RIÔ, CDÔ)
•
•
Programmable character lengths (5, 6, 7, 8)
Even, odd, or no parity bit generation and
detection
•
•
•
•
Status report register
The Ei16C554 is fabricated in an advanced CMOS
process to achieve low drain power and high speed
requirements.
Independent transmit and receive control
TTL compatible inputs, outputs
Software compatible with 8250 and
Ei16C550
•
460.8 kHz transmit/receive operation with
7.372 MHz crystal or external clock source
