Rev. 06 — 13 May 2008
Product data sheet
1. General description
The SC16IS740/750/760 is a slave I2C-bus/SPI interface to a single-channel high
performance UART. It offers data rates up to 5 Mbit/s and guarantees low operating and
sleeping current. The SC16IS750 and SC16IS760 also provide the application with 8
additional programmable I/O pins. The device comes in very small HVQFN24, TSSOP24
(SC16IS750/760) and TSSOP16 (SC16IS740) packages, which makes it ideally suitable
for handheld, battery operated applications. This family of products enables seamless
protocol conversion from I2C-bus or SPI to and RS-232/RS-485 and are fully bidirectional.
The SC16IS760 differs from the SC16IS750 in that it supports SPI clock speeds up to
15 Mbit/s instead of the 4 Mbit/s supported by the SC16IS750, and in that it supports
IrDA SIR up to 1.152 Mbit/s. In all other aspects, the SC16IS760 is functionally and
electrically the same as the SC16IS750. The SC16IS740 is functionally and electrically
identical to the SC16IS750, with the exception of the programmable I/O pins which are
only present on the SC16IS750.
The SC16IS740/750/760’s internal register set is backward-compatible with the widely
used and widely popular 16C450. This allows the software to be easily written or ported
from another platform.
The SC16IS740/750/760 also provides additional advanced features such as auto
hardware and software flow control, automatic RS-485 support, and software reset. This
allows the software to reset the UART at any moment, independent of the hardware reset
signal.

HVQFN24 package die supply ground is connected to both VSS pins and exposed center pad. VSS pins 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.
7. Functional description
The UART will perform serial-to-I2C conversion on data characters received from
peripheral devices or modems, and I2C-to-serial conversion on data characters
transmitted by the host. The complete status the SC16IS740/750/760 UART can be read
at any time during functional operation by the host.
The SC16IS740/750/760 can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO mode) relieving the
host of excessive software overhead by buffering received/transmitted characters. Both
the receiver and transmitter FIFOs can store up to 64 characters (including three
additional bits of error status per character for the receiver FIFO) and have selectable or
programmable trigger levels.
The SC16IS740/750/760 has selectable hardware flow control and software flow control.
Hardware flow control significantly reduces software overhead and increases system
efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow using the RTS output and CTS input
signals. Software flow control automatically controls data flow by using programmable
Xon/Xoff characters.
The UART includes a programmable baud rate generator that can divide the timing
reference clock input by a divisor between 1 and (216 – 1).
7.1 Trigger levels
The SC16IS740/750/760 provides independently selectable and programmable trigger
levels for both receiver and transmitter interrupt generation. After reset, both transmitter
and receiver FIFOs are disabled and so, in effect, the trigger level is the default value of
one character. The selectable trigger levels are available via the FCR. The programmable
trigger levels are available via the TLR. If TLR bits are cleared then selectable trigger level
in FCR is used. If TLR bits are not cleared then programmable trigger level in TLR is used.
7.2 Hardware flow control
Hardware flow control is comprised of auto CTS and auto RTS (see Figure 8). Auto CTS
and auto RTS can be enabled/disabled independently by programming EFR[7:6].
With auto CTS, CTS must be active before the UART can transmit data.
Auto RTS only activates the RTS output when there is enough room in the FIFO to receive
data and de-activates the RTS output when the RX FIFO is sufficiently full. The halt and
resume trigger levels in the TCR determine the levels at which RTS is
activated/deactivated. If TCR bits are cleared then selectable trigger levels in FCR are
used in place of TCR.
If both auto CTS and auto RTS are enabled, when RTS is connected to CTS, data
transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has empty space. Thus, overrun
errors are eliminated during hardware flow control. If not enabled, overrun errors occur if
the transmit data rate exceeds the receive FIFO servicing latency.

Autoflow control (auto RTS and auto CTS) example
7.2.1 Auto RTS
Figure 9 shows RTS functional timing. The receiver FIFO trigger levels used in auto RTS
are stored in the TCR or FCR. RTS is active if the RX FIFO level is below the halt trigger
level in TCR[3:0]. When the receiver FIFO halt trigger level is reached, RTS is deasserted.
The sending device (for example, another UART) may send an additional character after
the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another character to send)
because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS until it has begun sending the
additional character. RTS is automatically reasserted once the receiver FIFO reaches the
resume trigger level programmed via TCR[7:4]. This reassertion allows the sending
device to resume transmission.

7.2.2 Auto CTS
Figure 10 shows CTS functional timing. The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before
sending the next data byte. When CTS is active, the transmitter sends the next byte. To
stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS must be deasserted before the
middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent. The auto CTS function reduces
interrupts to the host system. When flow control is enabled, CTS level changes do not
trigger host interrupts because the device automatically controls its own transmitter.
Without auto CTS, the transmitter sends any data present in the transmit FIFO and a
receiver overrun error may result.

(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out.
(2) When CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current character, the transmitter finishes sending the current
character, but it does not send the next character.
(3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

7.3 Software flow control
Software flow control is enabled through the enhanced feature register and the Modem
Control Register. Different combinations of software flow control can be enabled by setting
different combinations of EFR[3:0]. Table 3 shows software flow control options.

There are two other enhanced features relating to software flow control:
• Xon Any function (MCR[5]): Receiving any character will resume operation after
recognizing the Xoff character. It is possible that an Xon1 character is recognized as
an Xon Any character, which could cause an Xon2 character to be written to the RX
FIFO.
• Special character (EFR[5]): Incoming data is compared to Xoff2. Detection of the
special character sets the Xoff interrupt (IIR[4]) but does not halt transmission. The
Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR. The special character is transferred to the
RX FIFO.
7.3.1 RX
When software flow control operation is enabled, the SC16IS740/750/760 will compare
incoming data with Xoff1/Xoff2 programmed characters (in certain cases, Xoff1 and Xoff2
must be received sequentially). When the correct Xoff characters are received,
transmission is halted after completing transmission of the current character. Xoff
detection also sets IIR[4] (if enabled via IER[5]) and causes IRQ to go LOW.
To resume transmission, an Xon1/Xon2 character must be received (in certain cases
Xon1 and Xon2 must be received sequentially). When the correct Xon characters are
received, IIR[4] is cleared, and the Xoff interrupt disappears.
7.3.2 TX
Xoff1/Xoff2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO has passed the HALT trigger level
programmed in TCR[3:0] or the selectable trigger level in FCR[7:6]
Xon1/Xoff2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO reaches the RESUME trigger level
programmed in TCR[7:4] or RX FIFO falls below the lower selectable trigger level in
FCR[7:6].
The transmission of Xoff/Xon(s) follows the exact same protocol as transmission of an
ordinary character from the FIFO. This means that even if the word length is set to be 5, 6,
or 7 bits, then the 5, 6, or 7 least significant bits of XOFF1/XOFF2 or XON1/XON2 will be
transmitted. (Note that the transmission of 5, 6, or 7 bits of a character is seldom done, but
this functionality is included to maintain compatibility with earlier designs.)
It is assumed that software flow control and hardware flow control will never be enabled
simultaneously. Figure 11 shows an example of software flow control.

7.5 Interrupts
The SC16IS740/750/760 has interrupt generation and prioritization (seven prioritized
levels of interrupts) capability. The interrupt enable registers (IER and IOIntEna) enable
each of the seven types of interrupts and the IRQ signal in response to an interrupt
generation. When an interrupt is generated, the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending
and provides the type of interrupt through IIR[5:0]. Table 6 summarizes the interrupt
control functions.

It is important to note that for the framing error, parity error, and break conditions, LSR[7]
generates the interrupt. LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO,
and is cleared only when there are no more errors remaining in the FIFO. LSR[4:2] always
represent the error status for the received character at the top of the RX FIFO. Reading
the RX FIFO updates LSR[4:2] to the appropriate status for the new character at the top of
the FIFO. If the RX FIFO is empty, then LSR[4:2] are all zeros.
For the Xoff interrupt, if an Xoff flow character detection caused the interrupt, the interrupt
is cleared by an Xon flow character detection. If a special character detection caused the
interrupt, the interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR.

7.5.1 Interrupt mode operation
In Interrupt mode (if any bit of IER[3:0] is 1) the host is informed of the status of the
receiver and transmitter by an interrupt signal, IRQ. Therefore, it is not necessary to
continuously poll the Line Status Register (LSR) to see if any interrupt needs to be
serviced. Figure 12 shows Interrupt mode operation.

7.5.2 Polled mode operation
In Polled mode (IER[3:0] = 0000) the status of the receiver and transmitter can be
checked by polling the Line Status Register (LSR). This mode is an alternative to the FIFO
Interrupt mode of operation where the status of the receiver and transmitter is
automatically known by means of interrupts sent to the CPU. Figure 13 shows FIFO
Polled mode operation.

7.6 Sleep mode
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16IS740/750/760 UART. It is enabled when
EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] is set. Sleep mode is entered
when:
• The serial data input line, RX, is idle (see Section 7.7 “Break and time-out
conditions”).
• The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.
• There are no interrupts pending except THR.
Remark: Sleep mode will not be entered if there is data in the RX FIFO.
In Sleep mode, the clock to the UART is stopped. Since most registers are clocked using
these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced. The UART will wake up when any
change is detected on the RX line, when there is any change in the state of the modem
input pins, or if data is written to the TX FIFO.
Remark: Writing to the divisor latches, DLL and DLH, to set the baud clock, must not be
done during Sleep mode. Therefore, it is advisable to disable Sleep mode using IER[4]
before writing to DLL or DLH.
7.7 Break and time-out conditions
When the UART receives a number of characters and these data are not enough to set off
the receive interrupt (because they do not reach the receive trigger level), the UART will
generate a time-out interrupt instead, 4 character times after the last character is
received. The time-out counter will be reset at the center of each stop bit received or each
time the receive FIFO is read.
A break condition is detected when the RX pin is pulled LOW for a duration longer than
the time it takes to send a complete character plus Start, Stop and Parity bits. A break
condition can be sent by setting LCR[6]. When this happens the TX pin will be pulled LOW
until LSR[6] is cleared by the software.
7.8 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16IS740/750/760 UART contains a programmable baud rate generator that takes
any clock input and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 – 1). An
additional divide-by-4 prescaler is also available and can be selected by MCR[7], as
shown in Figure 14. The output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16 × the baud rate.
The formula for the divisor is given in Equation 1:
XTAL1 crystal input frequency
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

prescaler
divisor = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------desired baud rate × 16
(1)
where:
prescaler = 1, when MCR[7] is set to ‘0’ after reset (divide-by-1 clock selected)
prescaler = 4, when MCR[7] is set to ‘1’ after reset (divide-by-4 clock selected).
Remark: The default value of prescaler after reset is divide-by-1.

DLL and DLH must be written to in order to program the baud rate. DLL and DLH are the
least significant and most significant byte of the baud rate divisor. If DLL and DLH are both
zero, the UART is effectively disabled, as no baud clock will be generated.
Remark: The programmable baud rate generator is provided to select both the transmit
and receive clock rates.
Table 7 and Table 8 show the baud rate and divisor correlation for crystal with frequency
1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz, respectively.

8.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR)
The receiver section consists of the Receiver Holding Register (RHR) and the Receiver
Shift Register (RSR). The RHR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The RSR receives serial data
from the RX pin. The data is converted to parallel data and moved to the RHR. The
receiver section is controlled by the Line Control Register. If the FIFO is disabled, location
zero of the FIFO is used to store the characters.
8.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR)
The transmitter section consists of the Transmit Holding Register (THR) and the Transmit
Shift Register (TSR). The THR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The THR receives data and
shifts it into the TSR, where it is converted to serial data and moved out on the TX pin. If
the FIFO is disabled, the FIFO is still used to store the byte. Characters are lost if overflow
occurs.
8.3 FIFO Control Register (FCR)
This is a write-only register that is used for enabling the FIFOs, clearing the FIFOs, setting
transmitter and receiver trigger levels. Table 11 shows FIFO Control Register bit settings.

FIFO reset requires at least two XTAL1 clocks, therefore, they cannot be reset without the presence of the
XTAL1 clock.
8.4 Line Control Register (LCR)
This register controls the data communication format. The word length, number of stop

When the LSR is read, LSR[4:2] reflect the error bits (BI, FE, PE) of the character at the
top of the RX FIFO (next character to be read). Therefore, errors in a character are
identified by reading the LSR and then reading the RHR.

TCR trigger levels are available from 0 to 60 characters with a granularity of four.
Remark: TCR can only be written to when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[2] = 1. The programmer
must program the TCR such that TCR[3:0] > TCR[7:4]. There is no built-in hardware
check to make sure this condition is met. Also, the TCR must be programmed with this
condition before auto RTS or software flow control is enabled to avoid spurious operation
of the device.
8.13 Trigger Level Register (TLR)
This 8-bit register is used to store the transmit and received FIFO trigger levels used for
interrupt generation. Trigger levels from 4 to 60 can be programmed with a granularity
of 4. Table 24 shows trigger level register bit settings.

7:4
TLR[7:4]
RX FIFO trigger levels (4 to 60), number of characters available.
3:0
TLR[3:0]
TX FIFO trigger levels (4 to 60), number of spaces available.
Remark: TLR can only be written to when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[2] = 1. If TLR[3:0] or
TLR[7:4] are logical 0, the selectable trigger levels via the FIFO Control Register (FCR)
are used for the transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels. Trigger levels from 4 characters
to 60 characters are available with a granularity of four. The TLR should be programmed
for N⁄4, where N is the desired trigger level.
When the trigger level setting in TLR is zero, the SC16IS740/750/760 uses the trigger
level setting defined in FCR. If TLR has non-zero trigger level value, the trigger level
defined in FCR is discarded. This applies to both transmit FIFO and receive FIFO trigger
level setting.
When TLR is used for RX trigger level control, FCR[7:6] should be left at the default state,
that is, ‘00’.

This bit programs GPIO[7:4] as I/O pins or modem RI, CD, DTR, DSR

IOLATCH
enable/disable inputs latching
0 = input values are not latched. A change in any input generates an
interrupt. A read of the input register clears the interrupt. If the input
goes back to its initial logic state before the input register is read,
then the interrupt is cleared.
1 = input values are latched. A change in the input generates an
interrupt and the input logic value is loaded in the bit of the
corresponding input state register (IOState). A read of the IOState
register clears the interrupt. If the input pin goes back to its initial
logic state before the interrupt register is read, then the interrupt is
not cleared and the corresponding bit of the IOState register keeps
the logic value that initiates the interrupt.
Remark: As I/O pins, the direction, state, and interrupt of GPIO4 to GPIO7 are controlled
by the following registers: IODir, IOState, IOIntEna, and IOControl. The state of CD, RI,
DSR pins will not be reflected in MSR[7:5] or MSR[3:1], and any change of state on these
three pins will not trigger a modem status interrupt (even if enabled via IER[3]), and the
state of the DTR pin cannot be controlled by MCR[0].
As modem CD, RI, DSR pins, the status at the input of these three pins can be read from
MSR[7:5] and MSR[3:1], and the state of DTR pin can be controlled by MCR[0]. Also, if
modem status interrupt bit is enabled, IER[3], a change of state of RI, CD, DSR pins will
trigger a modem interrupt. Bit[7:4] of the IODir, IOState, and IOIntEna registers will not
have any effect on these three pins.

9. RS-485 features
9.1 Auto RS-485 RTS control
Normally the RTS pin is controlled by MCR bit 1, or if hardware flow control is enabled, the
logic state of the RTS pin is controlled by the hardware flow control circuitry. EFCR
register bit 4 will take the precedence over the other two modes; once this bit is set, the
transmitter will control the state of the RTS pin. The transmitter automatically asserts the
RTS pin (logic 0) once the host writes data to the transmit FIFO, and deasserts RTS pin
(logic 1) once the last bit of the data has been transmitted.
To use the auto RS-485 RTS mode the software would have to disable the hardware flow
control function.

9.2 RS-485 RTS output inversion
EFCR bit 5 reverses the polarity of the RTS pin if the UART is in auto RS-485 RTS mode.
When the transmitter has data to be sent it will deasserts the RTS pin (logic 1), and when
the last bit of the data has been sent out the transmitter asserts the RTS pin (logic 0).
9.3 Auto RS-485
EFCR bit 0 is used to enable the RS-485 mode (multidrop or 9-bit mode). In this mode of
operation, a ‘master’ station transmits an address character followed by data characters
for the addressed ‘slave’ stations. The slave stations examine the received data and
interrupt the controller if the received character is an address character (parity bit = 1).
To use the auto RS-485 mode the software would have to disable the hardware and
software flow control functions.
9.3.1 Normal multidrop mode
The 9-bit Mode in EFCR (bit 0) is enabled, but not Special Character Detect (EFR bit 5).
The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = 111) in order to detect address bytes.
With the receiver initially disabled, it ignores all the data bytes (parity bit = 0) until an
address byte is received (parity bit = 1). This address byte will cause the UART to set the
parity error. The UART will generate a line status interrupt (IER bit 2 must be set to ‘1’ at
this time), and at the same time puts this address byte in the RX FIFO. After the controller
examines the byte it must make a decision whether or not to enable the receiver; it should
enable the receiver if the address byte addresses its ID address, and must not enable the
receiver if the address byte does not address its ID address.
If the controller enables the receiver, the receiver will receive the subsequent data until
being disabled by the controller after the controller has received a complete message from
the ‘master’ station. If the controller does not disable the receiver after receiving a
message from the ‘master’ station, the receiver will generate a parity error upon receiving
another address byte. The controller then determines if the address byte addresses its ID
address, if it is not, the controller then can disable the receiver. If the address byte
addresses the ‘slave’ ID address, the controller take no further action, the receiver will
receive the subsequent data.
9.3.2 Auto address detection
If Special Character Detect is enabled (EFR[5] is set and the XOFF2 register contains the
address byte) the receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the programmed
character in the XOFF2 register. If the received byte is a data byte or an address byte that
does not match the programmed character in the XOFF2 register, the receiver will discard
these data. Upon receiving an address byte that matches the Xoff2 character, the receiver
will be automatically enabled if not already enabled, and the address character is pushed
into the RX FIFO along with the parity bit (in place of the parity error bit). The receiver also
generates a line status interrupt (IER[2] must be set to ‘1’ at this time). The receiver will
then receive the subsequent data from the ‘master’ station until being disabled by the
controller after having received a message from the ‘master’ station.
If another address byte is received and this address byte does not match Xoff2 character,
the receiver will be automatically disabled and the address byte is ignored. If the address
byte matches Xoff2 character, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO along with the
parity bit in the parity error bit (LSR bit 2).

10. I2C-bus operation
The two lines of the I2C-bus are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both
lines are connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor, and remain HIGH when the
bus is not busy. Each device is recognized by a unique address whether it is a
microcomputer, LCD driver, memory or keyboard interface and can operate as either a
transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of the device. A device generating a
message or data is a transmitter, and a device receiving the message or data is a
receiver. Obviously, a passive function like an LCD driver could only be a receiver, while a
microcontroller or a memory can both transmit and receive data.
10.1 Data transfers
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse (see Figure 16). The data on the SDA
line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse in order to be valid.
Changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as control signals. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock signal (SCL) is HIGH indicates a START
condition, and a LOW-to-HIGH transition of the SDA while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP
condition (see Figure 17). The bus is considered to be busy after the START condition and
free again at a certain time interval after the STOP condition. The START and STOP
conditions are always generated by the master.

Fig 17. START and STOP conditions
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP condition from
transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte, which must be eight bits long, is
transferred serially with the most significant bit first, and is followed by an acknowledge bit
(see Figure 18). The clock pulse related to the acknowledge bit is generated by the
master. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the
acknowledge clock pulse, while the transmitting device releases this pulse (see
Figure 19).

Fig 19. Acknowledge on the I2C-bus
A slave receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte, and a
master must generate one after the reception of each byte clocked out of the slave
transmitter.
There are two exceptions to the ‘acknowledge after every byte’ rule. The first occurs when
a master is a receiver: it must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not signalling an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. The acknowledge
related clock, generated by the master should still take place, but the SDA line will not be
pulled down. In order to indicate that this is an active and intentional lack of
acknowledgement, we shall term this special condition as a ‘negative acknowledge’.
The second exception is that a slave will send a negative acknowledge when it can no
longer accept additional data bytes. This occurs after an attempted transfer that cannot be
accepted.
10.2 Addressing and transfer formats
Each device on the bus has its own unique address. Before any data is transmitted on the
bus, the master transmits on the bus the address of the slave to be accessed for this
transaction. A well-behaved slave with a matching address, if it exists on the network,
should of course acknowledge the master's addressing. The addressing is done by the
first byte transmitted by the master after the START condition.

An address on the network is seven bits long, appearing as the most significant bits of the
address byte. The last bit is a direction (R/W) bit. A ‘0’ indicates that the master is
transmitting (write) and a ‘1’ indicates that the master requests data (read). A complete
data transfer, comprised of an address byte indicating a ‘write’ and two data bytes is
shown in Figure 20.

Fig 20. A complete data transfer
When an address is sent, each device in the system compares the first seven bits after the
START with its own address. If there is a match, the device will consider itself addressed
by the master, and will send an acknowledge. The device could also determine if in this
transaction it is assigned the role of a slave receiver or slave transmitter, depending on the
R/W bit.
Each node of the I2C-bus network has a unique seven-bit address. The address of a
microcontroller is of course fully programmable, while peripheral devices usually have
fixed and programmable address portions.
When the master is communicating with one device only, data transfers follow the format
of Figure 20, where the R/W bit could indicate either direction. After completing the
transfer and issuing a STOP condition, if a master would like to address some other
device on the network, it could start another transaction by issuing a new START.
Another way for a master to communicate with several different devices would be by using
a ‘repeated START’. After the last byte of the transaction was transferred, including its
acknowledge (or negative acknowledge), the master issues another START, followed by
address byte and data—without effecting a STOP. The master may communicate with a
number of different devices, combining ‘reads’ and ‘writes’. After the last transfer takes
place, the master issues a STOP and releases the bus. Possible data formats are
demonstrated in Figure 21. Note that the repeated START allows for both change of a
slave and a change of direction, without releasing the bus. We shall see later on that the
change of direction feature can come in handy even when dealing with a single device.
In a single master system, the repeated START mechanism may be more efficient than
terminating each transfer with a STOP and starting again. In a multimaster environment,
the determination of which format is more efficient could be more complicated, as when a
master is using repeated STARTs it occupies the bus for a long time and thus preventing
other devices from initiating transfers.

10.3 Addressing
Before any data is transmitted or received, the master must send the address of the
receiver via the SDA line. The first byte after the START condition carries the address of
the slave device and the read/write bit. Table 32 shows how the SC16IS740/750/760’s
address can be selected by using A1 and A0 pins. For example, if these 2 pins are
connected to VDD, then the SC16IS740/750/760’s address is set to 0x90, and the master
communicates with it through this address.

X = logic 0 for write cycle; X = logic 1 for read cycle.
10.4 Use of subaddresses
When a master communicates with the SC16IS740/750/760 it must send a subaddress in
the byte following the slave address byte. This subaddress is the internal address of the
word the master wants to access for a single byte transfer, or the beginning of a sequence
of locations for a multi-byte transfer. A subaddress is an 8-bit byte. Unlike the device
address, it does not contain a direction (R/W) bit, and like any byte transferred on the bus
it must be followed by an acknowledge.
Table 33 shows the breakdown of the subaddress (register address) byte. Bit 0 is not
used, bits [2:1] are both set to zeroes, bits [6:3] are used to select one of the device’s
internal registers, and bit 7 is not used.
A register write cycle is shown in Figure 22. The START is followed by a slave address
byte with the direction bit set to ‘write’, a subaddress byte, a number of data bytes, and a
STOP signal. The subaddress indicates which register the master wants to access, and
the data bytes which follow will be written one after the other to the subaddress location.

Fig 22. Master writes to slave
The register read cycle (see Figure 23) commences in a similar manner, with the master
sending a slave address with the direction bit set to ‘write’ with a following subaddress.
Then, in order to reverse the direction of the transfer, the master issues a repeated START
followed again by the device address, but this time with the direction bit set to ‘read’. The
data bytes starting at the internal subaddress will be clocked out of the device, each
followed by a master-generated acknowledge. The last byte of the read cycle will be
followed by a negative acknowledge, signalling the end of transfer. The cycle is terminated
by a STOP signal.

16. Handling information
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling.
However, to be completely safe you must take normal precautions appropriate to handling
integrated circuits.
17. 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”.
17.1 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.
17.2 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

• 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
17.4 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 44) 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 41 and 42

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 44.
