EXAR XR21B1411

Enhanced 1-CH Full-Speed USB UART
XR21B1411
Single Channel USB UART with Industry’s Smallest Package
and Optimized Software Drivers
The XR21B1411 (B1411) is an enhanced Universal Asynchronous Receiver and
Transmitter (UART) with a USB interface. The USB interface is fully compliant to
Full Speed USB 2.0 specification that supports 12 Mbps USB data transfer rate.
The USB interface also supports USB suspend, resume and remote wakeup
operations.
The B1411 operates from an internal clock that is programmable to 6, 12, 24 or
48 MHz. Therefore, no external crystal / oscillator is required as in previous
generation UARTs. With the fractional baud rate generator, any baud rate up to
12 Mbps can be accurately generated using the internal clock.
The large 128-byte TX FIFO and 384-byte RX FIFO of the B1411 help to optimize
the overall data throughput for various applications. The Automatic Transceiver
Direction control feature simplifies both the hardware and software for halfduplex RS-485 applications. If required, the multidrop (9-bit) mode with
automatic half-duplex transceiver control feature further simplifies typical
multidrop RS-485 applications.
The Vendor ID, Product ID, bus-powered mode, self-powered mode, remote
wakeup support or maximum power consumption values, as well as default
baud rate settings can be programmed using the on-board OTP through the
USBD+ / USBD- pins.
The B1411 operates from a single 5V power supply and is available in a 16-pin
QFN package.
Software drivers for Windows 7, 2000, XP, Vista, and CE, as well as Linux and
Mac are supported for the XR21B1411.
