GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Multi-port RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 Cards
• Point-of-Sale Systems
FEATURES
1
The XR17V252 (V252) is a single chip 2-channel
66MHz PCI UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver
and Transmitter) solution, optimized for higher
performance and lower power. The V252 device with
its fifth generation register set is designed to meet the
• High performance 32-bit 66MHz PCI UART
• PCI 3.0 compliant
high
bandwidth
and
power
management
• PCI power management rev. 1.1 compliant
• EEPROM interface for PCI configuration
• 3.3V supply with 5V tolerant non-PCI (serial) inputs
• Data read/write burst operation
requirements for multi-serial communication ports for
system administration and management. The 32-bit
66MHz PCI interface is compliant with PCI 3.0 and
PCI power management revision 1.1 specifications.
The device provides an upgrade path for Exar’s
33MHz 5V and Universal PCI UART family.
• Global interrupt register for both UART channels
• Up to 8 Mbps serial data rate
The V252 consists of two independent UART
channels, each with set of configuration and
enhanced registers, 64 bytes of Transmit (TX) and
Receive (RX) FIFOs, and a fractional Baud Rate
Generator (BRG). A global interrupt source register
provides a complete interrupt status indication for
both channels to speed up interrupt parsing. The
V252 device operates at 33/66MHz and features fully
programmable TX and RX FIFO level triggers,
automatic hardware and software flow control, and
automatic RS-485 half duplex direction control output
for software and hardware design simplification.
• Eight multi-purpose inputs/outputs
• A 16-bit general purpose timer/counter
• Sleep mode with wake-up Indicator
• Two independent UART channels controlled with
■ 16C550 compatible register Set
■ 64-byte TX and RX FIFOs with level counters
and programmable trigger levels
■ Fractional baud rate generator
NOTE 1: Covered by U.S. Patents #5,649,122 and #5,949,787
■ Automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware
flow control with programmable hysteresis
APPLICATIONS
■ Automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control
• Remote Access Servers
■ RS-485 half duplex direction control output
• Storage Network Management
• Factory Automation and Process Control
• Instrumentation
with selectable turn-around delay
• Infrared (IrDA 1.0) data encoder/decoder
