These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
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 a
transmission control register (TCR) that stores receiver FIFO threshold levels to start/stop transmission during
hardware and software flow control. With the FIFO RDY register, the software gets the status of TXRDY/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
CDA, CDB 40, 16 I 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).
Chip select A and B (active low). These pins enable data transfers between the user CPU and the
CSA, CSB 10, 11 I TL16C752B for the channel(s) addressed. Individual UART sections (A, B) are addressed by providing a
low on the respective CSA and CSB 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.
CTSA, CTSB 38, 23 I 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
D0-D4 44-48,
I/O from the controlling CPU. D0 is the least significant bit and the first data bit in a transmit or receive serial
D5-D7 1-3
data stream.
Data set ready (active low). These inputs are associated with individual UART channels A and B. A logic
DSRA, DSRB 39, 20 I low on these pins indicates the modem or data set is powered on and is ready for data exchange with the
UART. The state of these inputs is reflected in the modem status register (MSR).
Data terminal ready (active low). These outputs are associated with individual UART channels A and B. A
logic low on these pins indicates that the 752B is powered on and ready. These pins can be controlled
DTRA, DTRB 34, 35 O
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.
GND 17 Pwr Signal and power ground
Interrupt A and B (active high). These pins provide individual channel interrupts, INT A and B. INT A and
B are enabled when MCR bit 3 is set to a logic 1, interrupt sources are enabled in the interrupt enable
INTA, INTB 30, 29 O register (IER). Interrupt conditions include: receiver errors, available receiver buffer data, available
transmit buffer space or when a modem status flag is detected. INTA-B are in the high-impedance state
after reset.
