XR21B1411
ENHANCED 1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART
REV. 1.2.0
JULY 2016
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The XR21B1411 (B1411) is an enhanced Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with
a USB interface. The USB interface is fully compliant
to Full Speed USB 2.0 specification that supports 12
Mbps USB data transfer rate. The USB interface also
supports USB suspend, resume and remote wakeup
operations.
±15kV HBM ESD on USBD+/USBD-
USB 2.0 Compliant, Full-Speed (12 Mbps)
■ Supports USB suspend, resume and remote
wakeup operations
Unique preprogrammed USB serial number
Enhanced UART Features
The B1411 operates from an internal clock that is
programmable to 6, 12, 24 or 48 MHz. Therefore, no
external crystal / oscillator is required as in previous
generation UARTs. With the fractional baud rate
generator, any baud rate up to 12 Mbps can be
accurately generated using the internal clock.
■ Data rates up to 12 Mbps
■ Fractional Baud Rate Generator
■ 128 byte TX FIFO
■ 384 byte RX FIFO
■ 7, 8 or 9 data bits
■ 1 or 2 stop bits
■ Odd, even, mark, space or no parity
The large 128-byte Tx FIFO and 384-byte Rx FIFO of
the B1411 help to optimize the overall data
throughput for various applications. The automatic
transceiver direction control feature simplifies both
the hardware and software for half-duplex RS-485
applications. If required, the multidrop (9-bit) mode
with automatic half-duplex transceiver control feature
■ Automatic Hardware (RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR)

■ Automatic Software (Xon/Xoff) Flow Control
■ Multidrop mode
■ Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Control
■ Half-Duplex mode

■ Selectable GPIO or Modem I/O
The Vendor ID, Product ID, bus-powered mode, self-
powered mode, remote wakeup support or maximum
power consumption values, as well as default baud
rate settings can be programmed using the on-board
OTP through the USBD+ / USBD- pins.
