Product Summary

The PC16550DV is an improved version of the original 16450 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART). Functionally

identical to the 16450 on powerup (CHARAC-TER mode)* the PC16550D can be put into an alternate mode (FIFO mode) to

relieve the CPU of excessive softwareoverhead.

Features

PC16550DV Features:


  • Capable of running all existing 16450 software
  • Pin for pin compatible with the existing 16450 except for CSOUT (24) and NC (29). The former CSOUT and NC pins


are TXRDY and RXRDY, respectively.


  • In the FIFO mode transmitter and receiver are each buffered with 16 byte FIFO's to reduce the number of interrrupts


presented to the CPU.


  • Adds or deletes standard asynchronous communication bits (start, stop, and parity) to or from the serial data.
  • Holding and shift registers in the 16450 Mode eliminate the need for precise synchronization between the CPU and serial


data.


  • Independently controlled transmit, receive, line status,and data set interrupts
  • Independent receiver clock input.
  • False start bit detection
  • Complete status reporting capabilities.
  • Line break generation and detection.
  • Full prioritized interrupt system controls.
