ST16C450IP40 [MAXLINEAR]

The ST16C450 provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both transmitter and receiver sections. It includes a programmable baud rate generator (50 Bps to 1.5 Mbps), on-board status registers for error conditions and transfer status, complete MODEM control capability, a processor interrupt system that can be software tailored, and internal loop-back capability for diagnostic testing. Fabricated in advanced CMOS process for low drain power and high speed, it operates from 2.97V to 5.5V and supports up to 1.5 Mbps data rates with 24MHz input. Features include pin-to-pin compatibility with industry standard 16450, programmable word lengths (5-8 bits), multiple parity options (even/odd/force/no), independent transmit/receive control, standard modem interface, and low operating current (1.2mA typ.). Available in 40-pin PDIP, 44-pin PLCC, and 48-pin TQFP packages.
