TL16C550C Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TL16C550C from Texas Instruments is an Asynchronous Communications Element (UART) designed for reliable serial data communication. This component features 16-byte FIFOs for both transmit and receive operations, significantly improving data throughput and reducing CPU overhead. It also incorporates auto flow control capabilities, including programmable Auto-RTS and Auto-CTS modes, to manage data flow efficiently.

 

The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. It can operate with both 5V and 3.3V power supplies and offers a programmable baud rate generator capable of achieving up to 1 Mbaud with a 16 MHz clock rate. The TL16C550C is compatible with existing TL16C450 software, facilitating easier integration into existing designs.

 

Available in PLCC-44, LQFP-48, and TQFP-48 packages, the TL16C550C is designed for surface mount applications. Its features include independent receiver clock input, fully programmable serial interface characteristics, and internal diagnostic capabilities for fault isolation. This makes it a versatile solution for applications requiring robust serial communication interfaces.
