The maximum clock frequency for the SC16C2550BIA44 is 40 MHz.
To configure the UART for 9-bit data transmission, set the MCR register to enable 9-bit mode, and then set the LCR register to select the 9-bit data length.
The XOFF and XON characters are used for software flow control. XOFF (Transmit Off) is sent by the receiver to the transmitter to stop sending data, and XON (Transmit On) is sent by the receiver to the transmitter to resume sending data.
To implement RTS/CTS flow control, connect the RTS (Request to Send) output of the SC16C2550BIA44 to the CTS (Clear to Send) input of the external device, and connect the CTS output of the external device to the RTS input of the SC16C2550BIA44. Then, configure the SC16C2550BIA44 to use RTS/CTS flow control by setting the corresponding bits in the MCR register.
The maximum baud rate deviation allowed for the SC16C2550BIA44 is ±5%.
