XR16C854/854D
2.97V TO 5.5V QUAD UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO
JANUARY 2004
REV. 3.0
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Added feature in devices with top mark date code of
"F2 YYWW" and newer:
The XR16C854/854D1 (854) is an enhanced quad
Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter
(UART) each with 128 bytes of transmit and receive
FIFOs, transmit and receive FIFO counters and
trigger levels, automatic hardware and software flow
control, and data rates of up to 2 Mbps. Each UART
has a set of registers that provide the user with
operating status and control, receiver error
indications, and modem serial interface controls.
System interrupts may be tailored to meet design
requirements. An internal loopback capability allows
onboard diagnostics. The 854 is available in 64-pin
TQFP, 68-pin PLCC and 100-pin QFP packages.
The 64-pin package only offers the 16 mode
interface, but the 68 and 100 pin packages offer an
additional 68 mode interface which allows easy
■ 5 volt tolerant inputs
• 2.97 to 5.5 Volt Operation
• Pin-to-pin compatible with the industry standard
ST16C554 and ST16C654 and TI’s TL16C554N
and TL16C754BFN
• Intel or Motorola Data Bus Interface select
• Four independent UART channels
■ Register Set Compatible to 16C550
■ Data rates of up to 2 Mbps
■ Transmit and Receive FIFOs of 128 bytes
■ Programmable TX and RX FIFO Trigger Levels
■ Transmit and Receive FIFO Level Counters
■ Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS) Flow Control
■ Selectable Auto RTS Flow Control Hysteresis
■ Automatic Software (Xon/Xoff) Flow Control
■ Wireless Infrared (IrDA 1.0) Encoder/Decoder
• Sleep Mode (200 uA typical)
integration with Motorola processors.
The
XR16C854CV (64 pin) offers three state interrupt
outputs while the XR16C854DV provides continuous
interrupt outputs. The 100 pin package provides
additional FIFO status outputs (TXRDY# and
RXRDY# A-D), separate infrared transmit data
outputs (IRTX A-D) and channel C external clock
input (CHCCLK). The XR16C854/854D is compatible
with the industry standard ST16C554/554D and
ST16C654/654D.
