TL16C550CIFN datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL16C550CIFN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum baud rate supported by the TL16C550CIFN?
  The TL16C550CIFN supports baud rates up to 1.5 Mbps.
• How do I configure the TL16C550CIFN for 9-bit data transmission?
  To configure the TL16C550CIFN for 9-bit data transmission, set the MCR register to enable 9-bit mode and configure the UART to use 9 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• What is the purpose of the FIFO buffers in the TL16C550CIFN?
  The FIFO buffers in the TL16C550CIFN are used to store received data and allow for more efficient data transfer by reducing the number of interrupts generated by the UART.
• How do I handle flow control with the TL16C550CIFN?
  The TL16C550CIFN supports RTS/CTS flow control, which can be enabled by setting the FCR register. The UART will then use the RTS and CTS signals to control data transmission and reception.
• What is the power consumption of the TL16C550CIFN?
  The power consumption of the TL16C550CIFN varies depending on the operating frequency and voltage supply. According to the datasheet, the typical power consumption is around 10 mA at 3.3V and 16 MHz.
