FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Single 3.3V power supply
1
The XR17V352 (V352) is a single chip 2-channel
PCI Express (PCIe) UART (Universal Asynchronous
Receiver and Transmitter), optimized for higher
performance and lower power. The V352 serves as a
single lane PCIe bridge to 2 indepedent enhanced
16550 compatible UARTs. The V352 is compliant to
PCIe 2.0 Gen 1 (2.5GT/s).
• Internal buck regulator for 1.2V core
• PCIe 2.0 Gen 1 compliant
• x1 Link, dual simplex, 2.5Gbps in each direction
• EEPROM interface for configuration
• Data read/write burst operation
In addition to the UART channels, the V352 has 16
multi-purpose I/Os (MPIOs), a 16-bit general purpose
counter/timer and a global interrupt status register to
optimize interrupt servicing.
• Global interrupt status register for both UARTs
• Up to 25 Mbps serial data rate
• 16 multi-purpose inputs/outputs (MPIOs)
• 16-bit general purpose timer/counter
• Sleep mode with wake-up Indicator
• Two independent UART channels controlled with
Each UART of the V352 has many enhanced
features such as the 256-bytes TX and RX FIFOs,
programmable Fractional Baud Rate Generator,
Automatic Hardware or Software Flow Control, Auto
RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction Control, programmable
TX and RX FIFO Trigger Levels, TX and RX FIFO
Level Counters, infrared mode, and data rates up to
25Mbps. The V352 is available in a 113-pin STBGA
package (9 x 9 mm).
■ 16550 compatible register Set
■ 256-byte TX and RX FIFOs
■ Programmable TX and RX Trigger Levels
■ TX/RX FIFO Level Counters
NOTE 1: Covered by U.S. Patents #5,649,122, #6,754,839,
■ Fractional baud rate generator
#6,865,626 and #6,947,999
■ Automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware
flow control with programmable hysteresis
■ Automatic Xon/Xoff software flow control
■ RS-485 half duplex direction control output
with programmable turn-around delay
APPLICATIONS
