SC16C654BIB64,128 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

SC16C654BIB64,128 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency for the UART?
  The maximum clock frequency for the UART is 24 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 30 MHz with some limitations.
• How do I handle FIFO interrupts?
  FIFO interrupts can be handled by enabling the FIFO interrupt enable bits (FERIE or FTRIE) and setting the trigger levels (FTL or FRL) according to the application requirements.
• What is the purpose of the fractional baud rate generator?
  The fractional baud rate generator allows for more accurate baud rate generation, especially at higher frequencies, by dividing the input clock frequency by a fractional value.
• Can I use the SC16C654BIB64,128 as a UART-only device?
  Yes, the SC16C654BIB64,128 can be used as a UART-only device by disabling the IrDA and other non-UART functions.
• How do I implement flow control using the SC16C654BIB64,128?
  Flow control can be implemented using the RTS and CTS signals, which can be controlled using the UART's flow control registers (FCR and FSR).
