Product data sheet
1. General description
The SC16C754B is a quad Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with
64-byte FIFOs, automatic hardware/software flow control, and data rates up to 5 Mbit/s
(3.3 V and 5 V). The SC16C754B 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 loop-back capability
allows on-board 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 SC16C754B is available in plastic LQFP64, LQFP80 and PLCC68 packages.

6. Functional description
The SC16C754B UART is pin-compatible with the SC16C554 and SC16C654 UARTs. It
provides more enhanced features. All additional features are provided through a special
enhanced feature register.
The UART will perform serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from
peripheral devices or modems, and parallel-to-parallel conversion on data characters
transmitted by the processor. The complete status of each channel of the SC16C754B
UART can be read at any time during functional operation by the processor.
The SC16C754B can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO mode) relieving the processor
of excessive software overhead by buffering received/transmitted characters. Both the
receiver and transmitter FIFOs can store up to 64 bytes (including three additional bits of
error status per byte for the receiver FIFO) and have selectable or programmable trigger
levels. Primary outputs RXRDY and TXRDY allow signalling of DMA transfers.
The SC16C754B 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).
6.1 Trigger levels
The SC16C754B provides independent selectable and programmable trigger levels for
both receiver and transmitter DMA and interrupt generation. After reset, both transmitter
and receiver FIFOs are disabled and so, in effect, the trigger level is the default value of
one byte. The selectable trigger levels are available via the FCR. The programmable
trigger levels are available via the TLR.

6.2 Hardware flow control
Hardware flow control is comprised of Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS. 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 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.

6.2.1 Auto-RTS
Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver block (see Figure 1 “Block diagram of
SC16C754B” on page 3). Figure 6 shows RTS functional timing. The receiver FIFO trigger
levels used in Auto-RTS are stored in the TCR. 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 byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another
byte to send) because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS until it has begun
sending the additional byte. 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.

Fig 6. RTS functional timing
6.2.2 Auto-CTS
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 byte, the transmitter finishes sending the current
byte, but it does not send the next byte.
(3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

6.3 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.

Remark: When using software flow control, the Xon/Xoff characters cannot be used for
data characters.
There are two other enhanced features relating to software flow control:
• Xon Any function (MCR[5]): Operation will resume after receiving any character
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.
6.3.1 RX
When software flow control operation is enabled, the SC16C754B will compare incoming
data with Xoff1/Xoff2 programmed characters (in certain cases, Xoff1 and Xoff2 must be
received sequentially). When the correct Xoff character is received, transmission is halted
after completing transmission of the current character. Xoff detection also sets IIR[4] (if
enabled via IER[5]) and causes INT to go HIGH.
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.

6.3.2 TX
Xoff1/Xoff2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO has passed the HALT trigger level
programmed in TCR[3:0].
Xon1/Xon2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO reaches the RESUME trigger level
programmed in TCR[7:4].
The transmission of Xoff/Xon(s) follows the exact same protocol as transmission of an
ordinary byte from the FIFO. This means that even if the word length is set to be 5, 6, or 7
characters, then the 5, 6, or 7 least significant bits of Xoff1/Xoff2 and 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 8 shows an example of software flow control.

Assumptions
UART1 is transmitting a large text file to UART2. Both UARTs are using software flow
control with single character Xoff (0F) and Xon (0D) tokens. Both have Xoff threshold
(TCR[3:0] = F) set to 60, and Xon threshold (TCR[7:4] = 8) set to 32. Both have the
interrupt receive threshold (TLR[7:4] = D) set to 52.

UART1 begins transmission and sends 52 characters, at which point UART2 will generate
an interrupt to its processor to service the RCV FIFO, but assumes the interrupt latency is
fairly long. UART1 will continue sending characters until a total of 60 characters have
been sent. At this time, UART2 will transmit a 0F to UART1, informing UART1 to halt
transmission. UART1 will likely send the 61st character while UART2 is sending the Xoff
character. Now UART2 is serviced and the processor reads enough data out of the RX
FIFO that the level drops to 32. UART2 will now send a 0D to UART1, informing UART1 to
resume transmission.

6.5 Interrupts
The SC16C754B has interrupt generation and prioritization (six prioritized levels of
interrupts) capability. The interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the six types of
interrupts and the INT signal in response to an interrupt generation. The IER can also
disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 7:5 and 3:0. 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.

6.5.1 Interrupt mode operation
In interrupt mode (if any bit of IER[3:0] is ‘1’) the processor is informed of the status of the
receiver and transmitter by an interrupt signal, INT. Therefore, it is not necessary to
continuously poll the line status register (LSR) to see if any interrupt needs to be serviced.

6.5.2 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 10 shows FIFO polled
mode operation.

6.6 DMA operation
There are two modes of DMA operation, DMA mode 0 or DMA mode 1, selected by
FCR[3].
In DMA mode 0 or FIFO disable (FCR[0] = 0) DMA occurs in single character transfers. In
DMA mode 1, multi-character (or block) DMA transfers are managed to relieve the
processor for longer periods of time.

6.6.2.2
Receiver
RXRDY becomes active when the trigger level has been reached, or when a time-out
interrupt occurs. It will go inactive when the FIFO is empty or an error in the RX FIFO is
flagged by LSR[7].
6.7 Sleep mode
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16C754B 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 6.8 “Break and time-out
conditions”).
• The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.
• There are no interrupts pending except THR and time-out interrupts.
Remark: Sleep mode will not be entered if there is data in the RX FIFO.
In Sleep mode, the UART clock and baud rate clock are 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.

6.8 Break and time-out conditions
An RX idle condition is detected when the receiver line, RX, has been HIGH for
4 character time. The receiver line is sampled midway through each bit.
When a break condition occurs, the TX line is pulled LOW. A break condition is activated
by setting LCR[6].
6.9 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16C754B UART contains a programmable baud 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 13. The output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16× the baud rate. The
formula for the divisor is:
crystal input frequency
 XTAL1
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
prescaler
divisor = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------( desired baud rate × 16 )
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.
Figure 13 shows the internal prescaler and baud rate generator circuitry.

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.
Figure 14 shows the crystal clock circuit reference.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 64-byte FIFOs
Remark: Refer to the notes under Table 9 for more register access information.
7.1 Receiver 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 terminal. The data is converted to parallel data and moved to the RHR. The
receiver section is controlled by the Line Control Register (LCR). If the FIFO is disabled,
location zero of the FIFO is used to store the characters.
Remark: In this case, characters are overwritten if overflow occurs.
If overflow occurs, characters are lost. The RHR also stores the error status bits
associated with each character.
7.2 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
terminal. If the FIFO is disabled, the FIFO is still used to store the byte. Characters are
lost if overflow occurs.

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 to alert the
communication terminal to a line break condition
5

the transmit and receive data
LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 1: parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for
the transmit and receive data

7
LSR[7]
FIFO data error.
logic 0 = no error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = at least one parity error, framing error, or break indication is in the
receiver FIFO. This bit is cleared when no more errors are present in the
FIFO.
6
LSR[6]
THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator.
logic 0 = transmitter hold and shift registers are not empty
logic 1 = transmitter hold and shift registers are empty
5
LSR[5]
THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator.
logic 0 = Transmit Hold Register is not empty
logic 1 = Transmit Hold Register is empty. The processor can now load up
to 64 bytes of data into the THR if the TX FIFO is enabled.
4
LSR[4]
Break interrupt.
logic 0 = no break condition (normal default condition)
logic 1 = a break condition occurred and associated byte is 00, that is,
RX was LOW for one character time frame
3
LSR[3]
Framing error.
logic 0 = no framing error in data being read from RX FIFO (normal default
condition)
logic 1 = framing error occurred in data being read from RX FIFO, that is,
received data did not have a valid stop bit
2
LSR[2]
Parity error.
logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = parity error in data being read from RX FIFO
1
LSR[1]
Overrun error.
logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition)
logic 1 = overrun error has occurred
0
LSR[0]
Data in receiver.
logic 0 = no data in receive FIFO (normal default condition)
logic 1 = at least one character in the RX FIFO
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). The LSR[4:2] registers do not physically
exist, as the data read from the RX FIFO is output directly onto the output data bus,
DI[4:2], when the LSR is read. Therefore, errors in a character are identified by reading
the LSR and then reading the RHR.
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.
Reading the LSR does not cause an increment of the RX FIFO read pointer. The RX FIFO
read pointer is incremented by reading the RHR.

Remark: TCR can only be written to when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[6] = 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.

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 to 60 bytes
are available with a granularity of four. The TLR should be programmed for N⁄4, where N is
the desired trigger level.
7.14 FIFO ready register
The FIFO ready register provides real-time status of the transmit and receive FIFOs of
both channels.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 64-byte FIFOs
The FIFO Rdy register is a read-only register that can be accessed when any of the two
UARTs is selected CSA - CSD = 0, MCR[2] (FIFO Rdy Enable) is a logic 1, and loop-back
is disabled. The address is 111.
8. Programmer’s guide
The base set of registers that is used during high-speed data transfer have a
straightforward access method. The extended function registers require special access
bits to be decoded along with the address lines. The following guide will help with
programming these registers. Note that the descriptions below are for individual register
access. Some streamlining through interleaving can be obtained when programming all
the registers.

13. Soldering
13.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of
soldering ICs can be found in our Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave
soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch
SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended.
13.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and
binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and
environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared
heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling)
vary between 100 seconds and 200 seconds depending on heating method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 °C to 270 °C depending on solder paste
material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:
• below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)
– for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages
– for packages with a thickness ≥ 2.5 mm
– for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume ≥ 350 mm3 so called
thick/large packages.
• below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with a
thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times.
13.3 Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices
(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically
developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be
parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 64-byte FIFOs
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle to
the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of
adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 °C
or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
13.4 Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage
(24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be
limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within
2 seconds to 5 seconds between 270 °C and 320 °C.

For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the (LF)BGA Application Note (AN01026);
order a copy from your Philips Semiconductors sales office.

All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the
maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or
external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn
effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit
Packages; Section: Packing Methods.
[3]
These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reflow soldering conditions and must on no
account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reflow soldering with
peak temperature exceeding 217 °C ± 10 °C measured in the atmosphere of the reflow oven. The package
body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.

These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the
solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink
on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
[5]
If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave
direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
[6]
Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
[7]
Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger
than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
[8]
Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered
pre-mounted on flex foil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted by the client on a flex foil by
using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering profile can be provided on request.
[9]
Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages.
