Product data sheet
1. General description
The SC16C751B is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for
serial data communications. Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial
data, and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data rates up to 5 Mbit/s.
The SC16C751B is functionally equivalent to the SC16C750B, and requires a special
software initialization sequence to configure the device to operate (see Section 6.6).
Programming of control registers enables the added features of the SC16C751B. Some of
these added features are the 64-byte receive and transmit FIFOs, automatic hardware
flow control. The selectable auto-flow control feature significantly reduces software
overload and increases system efficiency while in FIFO mode by automatically controlling
serial data flow using RTS output and CTS input signals. On-board 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 on-board diagnostics.
The SC16C751B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V, the industrial temperature range and is
available in the plastic HVQFN24 package.

HVQFN24 package die supply ground is connected to both VSS pin and exposed center pad. VSS pin must
be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board
level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad
on the board and for proper heat conduction through the board, thermal vias need to be incorporated in the
PCB in the thermal pad region.

In Sleep mode, XTAL2 is left floating.
6. Functional description
The SC16C751B provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization,
parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and
receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into
parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data
stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data
character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is insured by attaching a parity bit
to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit
errors. The SC16C751B is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process to achieve low
drain power and high speed requirements.
The SC16C751B is an upward solution that provides 64 bytes of transmit and receive
FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C450, or 16 bytes in the 16C550. The
SC16C751B is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network
environments that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in
the SC16C751B by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external
processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four
selectable levels of FIFO trigger interrupt and automatic hardware flow control is uniquely
provided for maximum data throughput performance, especially when operating in a
multi-channel environment. The combination of the above greatly reduces the bandwidth
requirement of the external controlling CPU, increases performance, and reduces power
consumption.
The SC16C751B is capable of operation up to 5 Mbit/s with an 80 MHz external clock
input (at 5 V).
The rich feature set of the SC16C751B is available through internal registers. Automatic
hardware flow control, selectable transmit and receive FIFO trigger level, selectable TX
and RX baud rates, modem interface controls, and a Sleep mode are some of these
features.
6.1 Internal registers
The SC16C751B provides 12 internal registers for monitoring and control. These registers
are shown in Table 3. These twelve registers are similar to those already available in the
standard 16C550. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt

6.2 FIFO operation
The 64-byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register
bit 0 (FCR[0]). The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is
delivered to the external CPU. An interrupt is generated whenever the Receive Holding
Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character or the receive
trigger level has not been reached.

6.3 Hardware flow control
When automatic hardware flow control is enabled, the SC16C751B monitors the CTS pin
for a remote buffer overflow indication and controls the RTS pin for local buffer overflows.
Automatic hardware flow control is selected by setting MCR[5] (RTS) and MCR[1] (CTS)
to a logic 1. If CTS transitions from a logic 0 to a logic 1 indicating a flow control request,
the SC16C751B will suspend TX transmissions as soon as the stop bit of the character in
process is shifted out. Transmission is resumed after the CTS input returns to a logic 0,
indicating more data may be sent.
With the auto-RTS function enabled, an interrupt is generated when the receive FIFO
reaches the programmed trigger level. The RTS pin will not be forced to a logic 1 (RTS
off), until the receive FIFO reaches the next trigger level. However, the RTS pin will return
to a logic 0 after the data buffer (FIFO) is emptied. However, under the above described
conditions, the SC16C751B will continue to accept data until the receive FIFO is full.
6.4 Time-out interrupts
When two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these
interrupts correctly. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the same interrupt
priority (when enabled by IER[0]). The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of
characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case, the SC16C751B
FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. Following the removal
of a data byte, the user should re-check LSR[0] for additional characters. A Receive Time
Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out counter is reset at the center
of each stop bit received or each time the receive holding register (RHR) is read. The
actual time-out value is 4 character time.
6.5 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16C751B supports high speed modem technologies that have increased input
data rates by employing data compression schemes. For example, a 33.6 kbit/s modem
that employs data compression may require a 115.2 kbit/s input data rate. A 128.0 kbit/s
ISDN modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate of 460.8 kbit/s.
A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing
independent TX/RX channel control. The programmable baud rate generator is capable of
accepting an input clock up to 80 MHz, as required for supporting a 5 Mbit/s data rate.
The SC16C751B can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal
clock oscillator operation, an industry standard microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant,
22 pF to 33 pF load) is connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see
Figure 3). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the
internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates (see Table 5).

Crystal oscillator connection
The generator divides the input 16× clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 − 1). Customized
baud rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB
sections of baud rate generator.
Programming the baud rate generator registers DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a
user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example in Table 5 shows
selectable baud rates when using a 1.8432 MHz crystal.
For custom baud rates, the divisor value can be calculated using Equation 1:
XTAL1 clock frequency
divisor ( in decimal ) = ---------------------------------------------------------------serial data rate × 16

6.6 Special software initialization sequence
Upon reset, the SC16C751B will not be able to receive. A special software initialization
sequence must be sent to the device to enable its receiver clock.
The following software sequence can be added to the UART initialization routine, and this
must be done before other registers are initialized.

6.7 Sleep mode
The SC16C751B is designed to operate with low power consumption. A special Sleep
mode is included to further reduce power consumption (the internal oscillator driver is
disabled) when the chip is not being used. With IER[4] enabled (set to a logic 1), the
SC16C751B enters the Sleep mode, but resumes normal operation when a start bit is
detected, a change of state of RX, CTS, or a transmit data is provided by the user. If the
Sleep mode is enabled and the SC16C751B is awakened by one of the conditions
described above, it will return to the Sleep mode automatically after the last character is
transmitted or read by the user. In any case, the Sleep mode will not be entered while an
interrupt(s) is pending. The SC16C751B will stay in the Sleep mode of operation until it is
disabled by setting IER[4] to a logic 0.
6.8 Low power mode
In Low power mode the oscillator is still running and only the clock to the UART core is
cut off. This helps to reduce the operating current to about 1⁄3. The UART wakes up under
the same conditions as in Sleep mode.
6.9 Loopback mode
The internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the Loopback mode, the
normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loopback internally.
MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing. The transmitter
output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are disconnected from their associated interface
pins, and instead are connected together internally (see Figure 4). The CTS is
disconnected from its normal modem control input pins, and instead is connected
internally to RTS. Loopback test data is entered into the Transmit Holding Register via the
user data bus interface, D0 to D7. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the
serial data to the receive UART via the internal loopback connection. The receive UART
converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data
interface D0 to D7. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial
transmitted data for verifying error-free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits.

7.1 Transmit and Receive Holding Registers (THR and RHR)
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and
Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status
Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D7 to D0) to the
THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The THR empty flag in the LSR register will
be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR.
Note that a write operation can be performed when the THR empty flag is set
(logic 0 = FIFO full; logic 1 = at least one FIFO location available).
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR).
Receive data is removed from the SC16C751B and receive FIFO by reading the RHR
register. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the falling
edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at the
16× clock rate. After 71⁄2 clocks, the start bit time should be shifted to the center of the
start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled, and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated.
Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false
character. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR.
7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter
empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen
on the INT output pin.

7.2.1 IER versus Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation
When the receive FIFO (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts (IER[0] = logic 1) are
enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following:
• The receive data available interrupts are issued to the external CPU when the FIFO
has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops
below the programmed trigger level.
• FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when the FIFO
trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register status bit and the interrupt will be
cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
• The data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift
register to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[3:0] enables the SC16C751B in the FIFO polled
mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR,
either or both can be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive
control bit(s).

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
The SC16C751B provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software
interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four interrupt status
bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending
interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending
interrupt is serviced. Whenever the interrupt status register is read, the interrupt status is
cleared. However, it should be noted that only the current pending interrupt is cleared by
the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after re-reading the interrupt status bits.
Table 10 “Interrupt source” shows the data values (bit 0 to bit 4) for the four prioritized
interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels.

LCR[6]
Set break. When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to
be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a logic 0 state). This condition exists
until disabled by setting LCR[6] to a logic 0.
logic 0 = no TX break condition (normal default condition)
logic 1 = forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic 0 for alerting the
remote receiver to a line break condition
5
LCR[5]
Set parity. If the parity bit is enabled, LCR[5] selects the forced parity format.
Programs the parity conditions (see Table 13).
logic 0 = parity is not forced (normal default condition)
LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 0: parity bit is forced to a logic 1 for the
transmit and receive data
LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 1: parity bit is forced to a logic 0 for the
transmit and receive data
4
LCR[4]
Even parity. If the parity bit is enabled with LCR[3] set to a logic 1, LCR[4]
selects the even or odd parity format.
logic 0 = odd parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1s in the
transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same
format (normal default condition).
logic 1 = even parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1s in
the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same
format.

6
LSR[6]
THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a
logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are
both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data
character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to logic 1 whenever the transmit FIFO
and transmit shift register are both empty.
5
LSR[5]
THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit
indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In
addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR
interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is
transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register.
The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter
holding register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when the transmit
FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO.
4
LSR[4]
Break interrupt.
logic 0 = no break condition (normal default condition)
logic 1 = the receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for one
character frame time). In the FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded
into the FIFO.
3
LSR[3]
Framing error.
logic 0 = no framing error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). In
the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the
FIFO.
2
LSR[2]
Parity error.
logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity
information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the
character at the top of the FIFO.
1
LSR[1]
Overrun error.
logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the receive shift
register. This happens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In
this case, the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under
this condition, the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into
the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.
0
LSR[0]
Receive data ready.
logic 0 = no data in receive holding register or FIFO (normal default condition)
logic 1 = data has been received and is saved in the receive holding register or

12. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
12.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
12.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
12.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

12.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 12) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 25 and 26

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 12.
