SC16C2552BIA44 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

SC16C2552BIA44 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum baud rate supported by the SC16C2552BIA44?
  The SC16C2552BIA44 supports baud rates up to 5 Mbps.
• Can the SC16C2552BIA44 operate in 3.3V and 5V systems?
  Yes, the SC16C2552BIA44 is a voltage-translating UART that can operate in both 3.3V and 5V systems, making it suitable for use in mixed-voltage systems.
• How do I configure the SC16C2552BIA44 for 9-bit data transmission?
  To configure the SC16C2552BIA44 for 9-bit data transmission, set the MCR (Modem Control Register) to enable 9-bit mode, and then program the LCR (Line Control Register) to select the 9-bit data format.
• What is the purpose of the XOFF and XON characters in the SC16C2552BIA44?
  The XOFF and XON characters are used for software flow control. XOFF (Transmit Off) is sent by the receiver to the transmitter to request that it stop sending data, and XON (Transmit On) is sent by the receiver to the transmitter to request that it resume sending data.
• How do I implement hardware flow control using the SC16C2552BIA44?
  To implement hardware flow control using the SC16C2552BIA44, connect the RTS (Request to Send) output to the CTS (Clear to Send) input of the remote device, and connect the CTS output of the remote device to the RTS input of the SC16C2552BIA44. Then, enable hardware flow control in the MCR (Modem Control Register).
