OX16C954 rev B
High Performance Quad UART with 128-byte FIFOs
Intel / Motorola Bus Interface
FEATURES
• Four independent full-duplex asynchronous 16C950
high performance UART channels
• 128-byte deep FIFO per transmitter and receiver
• UARTs fully software compatible with industry
standard 16C55x type UARTs
• Pin compatible with TL16C554 and ST16C654
• Baud rates up to 15 Mbps in normal mode and
60Mbps in external 1x clock (isochronous) mode
• Readable FIFO levels
• Flexible clock prescaler from 1 to 31.875
• Automated in-band flow control using programmable
Xon/Xoff characters, in both directions
• Automated out-of-band flow control using CTS#/RTS#
and/or DSR#/DTR#
• Arbitrary trigger levels for receiver and transmitter
FIFO interrupts and automatic in-band and out-of-
band flow control
REV B ENHANCEMENTS
• Readable in-band and out-of-band flow control status
• Programmable special character detection
• Infra-red (IrDA) receiver and transmitter option
• 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9-bits data framing
• Detection of bad data in the receiver FIFO
• Independent channel reset by software
• Transmitter and receiver can be disabled
• Transmitter idle interrupt
• RS-485 buffer enable signals
• Four byte device ID
• Sleep mode (low operating current)
• System clock up to 60 MHz at 5V, 50 MHz at 3.3V
• 5.0 volt or 3.3v operation*
• 68pin PLCC and 80pin TQFP package options.
*Only the 80pin TQFP package supports operation at 5v or 3.3v.
The OX16C954B is an enhanced, backward-compatible revision of the OX16C954 rev A. It uses the newer core as in the
OX16C950 rev B. The chief enhancements are as follows –
• All known errata fixed
• Full TCR range from 4-16
• Enhanced controls for sleep-mode sensitivity, ability to read FCR and Good Data Status
• 3.3V operation with 80 pin TQFP
• Enhanced isochronous clocking options (optional inversions, DTR/DSR)
Hereafter OX16C954 rev B is simply referred to as OX16C954.
