FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
•
Pin-to-pin compatible with XR16L580 in 32-QFN
and 48-TQFP packages
1
The XR16M780 (M780) is an enhanced Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with
64 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs,
programmable transmit and receive FIFO trigger
levels, automatic hardware and software flow control,
and data rates of up to 16 Mbps at 3.3V, 12.5 Mbps at
2.5V and 7.5 Mbps at 1.8V with 4X data sampling
rate.

Programmable TX/RX FIFO Trigger Levels
TX/RX FIFO Level Counters
Independent TX/RX Baud Rate Generator
Fractional Baud Rate Generator
The Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction control
feature simplifies both the hardware and software for
half-duplex RS-485 applications. In addition, the
Multidrop mode with Auto Address detection
increases the performance by simplifying the
software routines.
Auto RTS/CTS Hardware Flow Control
Auto XON/XOFF Software Flow Control
Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction Control
Multidrop mode w/ Auto Address Detect
Sleep Mode with Automatic Wake-up
PowerSave mode
The Independent TX/RX Baud Rate Generator
feature allows the transmitter and receiver to operate
at different baud rates. Power consumption of the
M780 can be minimized by enabling the sleep mode
and PowerSave mode.
Infrared (IrDA 1.0 and 1.1) mode
1.62V to 3.63V supply operation
Crystal oscillator or external clock input
The M780 has a 16550 compatible register set that
provide users with operating status and control,
receiver error indications, and modem serial interface
controls. An internal loopback capability allows
onboard diagnostics. The M780 is available in 32-pin
QFN, 48-pin TQFP and 25-pin BGA packages. All
three packages offer both the 16 mode (Intel bus)
interface and the 68 mode (Motorola bus) interface
which allows easy integration with Motorola
processors.
