TL16C752B
3.3-V DUAL UART WITH 64-BYTE FIFO
SLLS405A – DECEMBER 1999 – REVISED AUGUST 2000
description
The TL16C752B is a dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) with 64-byte FIFOs, automatic
hardware/software flow control, and data rates up to 3 Mbps. The TL16C752B offers enhanced features. It has
atransmissioncontrolregister(TCR)thatstoresreceiverFIFOthresholdlevelstostart/stoptransmissionduring
hardware and software flow control. With the FIFO RDY register, thesoftwaregetsthestatusofTXRDY/RXRDY
for all four ports in one access. On-chip status registers provide the user with error indications, operational
status, and modem interface control. System interrupts may be tailored to meet user requirements. An internal
loopback capability allows onboard diagnostics.
The UART transmits data, sent to it over the peripheral 8-bit bus, on the TX signal and receives characters on
the RX signal. Characters can be programmed to be 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits. The UART has a 64-byte receive FIFO
and transmit FIFO and can be programmed to interrupt at different trigger levels. The UART generates its own
desired baud rate based upon a programmable divisor and its input clock. It can transmit even, odd, or no parity
and 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits. The receiver can detect break, idle, or framing errors, FIFO overflow, and parity errors.
The transmitter can detect FIFO underflow. The UART also contains a software interface for modem control
operations, and has software flow control and hardware flow control capabilities.
The TL16C752B is available in a 48-pin PT (LQFP) package.

Carrier detect (active low). These inputs are associated with individual UART channels A and B. A low on
these pins indicates that a carrier has been detected by the modem for that channel. The state of these inputs
is reflected in the modem status register (MSR).

for the channel(s) addressed. Individual UART sections (A, B) are addressed by providing a low on the
respective CS A and CS B pins.
Clear to send (active low). These inputs are associated with individual UART channels A and B. A logic low
on the CTS pins indicates the modem or data set is ready to accept transmit data from the 752B. Status can
be tested by reading MSR bit 4. These pins only affect the transmit and receive operations when auto CTS
function is enabled through the enhanced feature register (EFR) bit 7, for hardware flow control operation.

Data bus (bidirectional). These pins are the eight bit, 3-state data bus for transferring information to or from
I/O the controlling CPU. D0 is the least significant bit and the first data bit in a transmit or receive serial data
stream.

Data terminal ready (active low). These outputs are associated with individual UART channels A and B. A
logiclow on these pins indicates that the 752B is powered on and ready. These pins can be controlled through
the modem control register. Writing a 1 to MCR bit 0 sets the DTR output to low, enabling the modem. The
output of these pins is high after writing a 0 to MCR bit 0, or after a reset.
