1. General description
The SC16C2552B is a two channel 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 SC16C2552B is pin compatible with the PC16552 and ST16C2552. The
SC16C2552B provides enhanced UART functions with 16-byte FIFOs, modem control
interface, DMA mode data transfer and concurrent writes to control registers of both
channels. The DMA mode data transfer is controlled by the FIFO trigger levels and the
RXRDY and TXRDY signals. On-board status registers provide the user with error
indications and operational status. System interrupts and modem control features may be
tailored by software to meet specific user requirements. An internal loopback capability
allows on-board diagnostics. Independent programmable baud rate generators are
provided to select transmit and receive baud rates.
The SC16C2552B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V and the industrial temperature range,
and is available in a plastic PLCC44 package.

User programmable bits 2:1 of the Alternate Function Register (AFR) selects a signal
function or output on these pins. OP2 (interrupt enable), BAUDOUT, and RXRDY are signal
functions that may be selected by the AFR. These signal functions are described as follows:
Data Set Ready A, B (active LOW). These inputs are associated with individual UART
channels A through B. A logic 0 on this pin indicates the modem or data set is powered-on
and is ready for data exchange with the UART.
Data Terminal Ready A, B (active LOW). These outputs are associated with individual
UART channels A through B. A logic 0 on this pin indicates that the SC16C2552B is
powered-on and ready. This pin can be controlled via the modem control register. Writing a
logic 1 to MCR[0] will set the DTRn output to logic 0, enabling the modem. This pin will be a
logic 1 after writing a logic 0 to MCR[0], or after a reset.
OP2. When OP2 is selected, the MFn pin is a logic 0 when MCR[3] is set to a logic 1.
A logic 1 is the default signal condition that is available following a master reset or
power-up.
BAUDOUT. When BAUDOUT function is selected, the 16× baud rate clock output is
available at this pin.
RXRDY. RXRDY is primarily intended for monitoring DMA mode 1 transfers for the receive
data FIFOs. A logic 0 indicates there is receive data to read/unload, i.e., receive ready
status with one or more RX characters available in the FIFO/RHR. This pin is a logic 1
when the FIFO/RHR is empty or when the programmed trigger level has not been
reached. This signal can also be used for single mode transfers (DMA mode 0).

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs
6. Functional description
The SC16C2552B 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. Data integrity is ensured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The
parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The SC16C2552B is
fabricated with an advanced CMOS process.
The SC16C2552B is an upward solution that provides a dual UART capability with
16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C450. The
SC16C2552B is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network
environments that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in
the SC16C2552B by the transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to
handle more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four selectable receive
FIFO trigger interrupt levels are uniquely provided for maximum data throughput
performance, especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The FIFO
memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU,
increases performance, and reduces power consumption.
The SC16C2552B is capable of operation up to 1.5 Mbit/s with a 24 MHz crystal. With a
crystal or external clock input of 7.3728 MHz, the user can select data rates up to
460.8 kbit/s.
The rich feature set of the SC16C2552B is available through internal registers. Selectable
receive FIFO trigger levels, selectable TX and RX baud rates, and modem interface
controls are all standard features.
6.1 UART A-B functions
The UART provides the user with the capability to bidirectionally transfer information
between an external CPU, the SC16C2552B package, and an external serial device. A
logic 0 on chip select pin CS and a logic 1 on CHSEL allows the user to configure, send
data, and/or receive data via UART channel A. A logic 0 on chip select pin CS and a
logic 0 on CHSEL allows the user to configure, send data, and/or receive data via UART
channel B. Individual channel select functions are shown in Table 3.
Table 3.
Serial port selection
Chip select
UART select
CS = 1

CS = 0
UART channel selected as follows:
CHSEL = 1: UART channel A
CHSEL = 0: UART channel B
During a write mode cycle, the setting of AFR[0] to a logic 1 will override the CHSEL
selection and allow a simultaneous write to both UART channel sections. This functional
capability allows the registers in both UART channels to be modified concurrently, saving
individual channel initialization time. Caution should be considered, however, when using
this capability. Any in-process serial data transfer may be disrupted by changing an active
channel’s mode.

6.2 Internal registers
The SC16C2552B provides two sets of internal registers (A and B) consisting of
13 registers each for monitoring and controlling the functions of each channel of the
UART. These registers are shown in Table 4. The UART registers function as data holding
registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (IER/ISR), a FIFO control
register (FCR), line status and control registers (LCR/LSR), modem status and control
registers (MCR/MSR), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM), a
user accessible scratchpad register (SPR), and an Alternate Function Register (AFR).

The baud rate register and AFR register sets are accessible only when CS is a logic 0 and LCR[7] is a
logic 1 for the register set (A/B) being accessed.
6.3 FIFO operation
The 16 byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register
(FCR) bit 0. The user can set the receive trigger level via FCR[7:6], but not the transmit
trigger level. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is
delivered to the external CPU. A time-out interrupt is generated whenever the Receive
Holding Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character, or the
receive trigger interrupt is generated when RX FIFO level is equal to the program RX
trigger value.
6.4 Time-out interrupts
The interrupts are enabled by IER[3:0]. Care must be taken when handling these
interrupts. Following a reset, if the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the SC16C2552B will
issue an interrupt to indicate that the Transmit Holding Register is empty. The ISR register
provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. A condition can exist where a
higher priority interrupt may mask the lower priority interrupt(s). Only after servicing the
higher pending interrupt will the lower priority interrupt(s) be reflected in the status
register. Servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result
in data errors.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs
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 SC16C2552B
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 SC16C2552B 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 baud rate generator is provided for each UART channel, allowing independent TX/RX
channel control. The programmable Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is capable of accepting
an input clock up to 80 MHz, as required for supporting a 5 Mbit/s data rate. The
SC16C2552B can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock
oscillator operation, an industry standard microprocessor crystal is connected externally
between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. 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).
The generator divides the input 16× clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 − 1). The
SC16C2552B divides the basic external clock by 16. The basic 16× clock provides table
rates to support standard and custom applications using the same system design. The
rate table is configured via the DLL and DLM internal register functions. 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 the
selectable baud rate table available when using a 1.8432 MHz external clock input.

6.6 DMA operation
The SC16C2552B FIFO trigger level provides additional flexibility to the user for block
mode operation. LSR[6:5] provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has an
empty location(s). The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFOs in the
DMA mode (FCR[3]). When the transmit and receive FIFOs are enabled and the DMA
mode is de-activated (DMA Mode 0), the SC16C2552B activates the interrupt output pin
for each data transmit or receive operation. When DMA mode is activated (DMA Mode 1),
the user takes the advantage of block mode operation by loading or unloading the FIFO in
a block sequence determined by the receive trigger level and the transmit FIFO. In this
mode, the SC16C2552B sets the interrupt output pin when characters in the transmit
FIFO is below 16, or the characters in the receive FIFOs are above the receive trigger
level.
6.7 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. In the
Loopback mode, INT enable and MCR[2] in the MCR register (bits 3:2) control the modem
RI and CD inputs, respectively. MCR signals DTR (bit 0) and RTS (bit 1) are used to
control the modem DSR and CTS inputs, respectively. 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, DSR, CD, and RI are
disconnected from their normal modem control inputs pins, and instead are connected
internally to RTS, DTR, OP2 and OP1. 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

NXP Semiconductors
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs
7.1 Transmit Holding Register (THR) and Receive Holding Register (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 through D0)
to the TSR and UART via the THR, providing that the THR is empty. The THR empty flag
in the LSR[5] register will be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is
transferred to the TSR.
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR) and a
Receive Serial Shift Register (RSR). Receive data is removed from the SC16C2552B 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 INTA, INTB output pins.

7.2.1 IER versus Transmit/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 RXRDY interrupt (Level 2 ISR interrupt) is issued to the external CPU
when the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared
when the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.
• Receive FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when
the receive FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register receive status bit and
the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
• The receive data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from
the shift register (RSR) to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.
• When the Transmit FIFO and interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated when
the transmit FIFO is empty due to the unloading of the data by the TSR and UART for
transmission via the transmission media. The interrupt is cleared either by reading the
ISR register or by loading the THR with new data characters.
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[3:0] enables the SC16C2552B in the FIFO polled
mode of operation. In this mode, interrupts are not generated and the user must poll the
LSR register for TX and/or RX data status. 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).
•
•
•
•
•
LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO.
LSR[4:1] will provide the type of receive errors or a receive break, if encountered.
LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty.
LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are empty.
LSR[7] will show if any FIFO data errors occurred.

This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the receive FIFO trigger
levels and select the DMA mode.
7.3.1 DMA mode
7.3.1.1
Mode 0 (FCR bit 3 = 0)
Set and enable the interrupt for each single transmit or receive operation and is similar to
the 16C450 mode. Transmit Ready (TXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever an empty
transmit space is available in the Transmit Holding Register (THR). Receive Ready
(RXRDY) at the MFn pin will go to a logic 0 whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR)
is loaded with a character and AFR[2:1] is set to the RXRDY mode.
7.3.1.2
Mode 1 (FCR bit 3 = 1)
Set and enable the interrupt in a block mode operation. The transmit interrupt is set when
the transmit FIFO has at least one empty location. TXRDY remains a logic 0 as long as
one empty FIFO location is available. The receive interrupt is set when the receive FIFO
fills to the programmed trigger level. However, the FIFO continues to fill regardless of the
programmed level until the FIFO is full. RXRDY at the MFn pin remains a logic 0 as long
as the FIFO fill level is above the programmed trigger level, and AFR[2:1] is set to the
RXRDY mode.

(FIFOs enabled; FCR[0] = logic 1; FCR[3] = logic 0), and when there
are no characters in the transmit FIFO or Transmit Holding Register, the
TXRDYn pin will be a logic 0. Once active, the TXRDYn pin will go to a
logic 1 after the first character is loaded into the Transmit Holding
Register.
Receive operation in mode ‘0’: When the SC16C2552B is in 16C450
mode, or in the FIFO mode (FCR[0] = logic 1; FCR[3] = logic 0) and
there is at least one character in the receive FIFO, the RXRDY signal at
the MFn pin will be a logic 0. Once active, the RXRDY signal at the
MFn pin will go to a logic 1 when there are no more characters in the
receiver. Note that the AFR register must be set to the RXRDY mode
prior to any possible reading of the RXRDY signal.

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
The SC16C2552B 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 shows the data values (bits 3:0) for the four prioritized
interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels.

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.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs
7.9 Scratchpad Register (SPR)
The SC16C2552B provides a temporary data register to store 8 bits of user information.
7.10 Alternate Function Register (AFR)
This is a read/write register used to select specific modes of MF operation and to allow
both UART register’s sets to be written concurrently.
Table 19.

Description

AFR[7:3]
Not used. All are initialized to logic 0.
2:1
AFR[2:1]
Selects a signal function for output on the MFA, MFB pins. These signal
functions are described as: OP2 (interrupt enable), BAUDOUT, or RXRDY.
Only one signal function can be selected at a time. See Table 20.
0
AFR[0]
When this bit is set, CPU can write concurrently to the same register in both
UARTs. This function is intended to reduce the dual UART initialization time.
It can be used by CPU when both channels are initialized to the same state.
The external CPU can set or clear this bit by accessing either register set.
When this bit is set, the Channel Select pin, CHSEL, still selects the channel
to be accessed during read operation. Setting or clearing this bit has no
effect on read operations. The user should ensure that LCR[7] of both
channels are in the same state before executing a concurrent write to the
registers at address 0, 1, or 2.
logic 0 = no concurrent write (normal default condition)
logic 1 = register set A and B are written concurrently with a single external
CPU I/O write operation.

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 16) 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 26 and 27
