SC16C2550BIB48

The SC16C2550BIB48 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by NXP Semiconductors. It is a versatile UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) with 16 bytes of FIFO (First-In-First-Out) for both receive and transmit operations. The IC is primarily used for serial communication in various applications like point-of-sale terminals, industrial control, and data acquisition systems. Here are some key features of the SC16C2550BIB48 IC: 1. UART Functionality: The IC provides full-duplex asynchronous communication capability, supporting standard data rates up to 1.8432 Mbps. It can be configured for 5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits, with optional parity and stop bit configurations. 2. FIFO Buffer: This IC incorporates a 16-byte FIFO buffer for both transmit and receive operations, reducing the burden on the host processor. It helps in achieving efficient data transfer with reduced latency. 3. 16C2550 Compatible: The SC16C2550BIB48 is designed to be fully compatible with the industry-standard 16C2550 UART. It supports 100% software compatibility, enabling easy migration and replacement of existing designs. 4. Auto Flow Control: The IC offers automatic hardware flow control using RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (Clear to Send) signals
