PC16552DVX/NOPB

The PC16552DVX/NOPB is a dual universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed to provide versatile serial communication capabilities for embedded systems, industrial equipment, communication interfaces, and other applications requiring reliable and efficient data transfer between devices.

Key Features:

• Dual UART Channels: The PC16552DVX/NOPB features two independent UART channels, each capable of asynchronous serial communication with external devices. This dual-channel configuration enables simultaneous data transmission and reception, enhancing system flexibility and performance.
• High-Speed Operation: With support for high baud rates, the UART channels of the PC16552DVX/NOPB can accommodate rapid data transfer, making it suitable for applications requiring fast communication speeds and real-time data exchange.
• Full Duplex Operation: The UART channels support full-duplex communication, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception of data. This capability enables bidirectional communication between the PC16552DVX/NOPB and external devices without the need for separate transmit and receive channels.
• Programmable Baud Rate Generator: The integrated baud rate generator allows flexible configuration of baud rates to accommodate various communication protocols and data rates. This feature enables seamless integration with different serial communication standards and ensures compatibility with diverse system requirements.
• 16-Byte FIFO Buffers: Each UART channel includes a 16-byte FIFO (First-In, First-Out) buffer for both transmit and receive operations. The FIFO buffers help optimize data flow and reduce processor overhead by temporarily storing data during high-speed communication, minimizing the risk of data loss and improving overall system efficiency.
• Hardware Flow Control Support: The PC16552DVX/NOPB supports hardware flow control mechanisms such as RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (Clear to Send), allowing for reliable data flow management and preventing data overrun in communication systems with varying data transfer rates or processing capabilities.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low-power operation, the PC16552DVX/NOPB minimizes energy consumption in battery-powered or energy-efficient embedded systems, helping to extend battery life and reduce overall power consumption in portable devices and IoT applications.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: The device supports a wide operating voltage range, making it suitable for integration into systems with different power supply configurations and voltage levels.
