SC16IS750IPW-F - NXP Semiconductors / Philips Semiconductors

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.

[3] 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.

Single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR

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.

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.

(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.

Single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR

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.

[1] Available only on SC16IS750/SC16IS760.

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:

(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.

Figure 14 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.

Single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR

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.

Table 11. FIFO Control Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7:6 FCR[7](MSB),

FCR[6] (LSB) RX trigger. Sets the trigger level for the RX FIFO.

00 = 8 characters

01 = 16 characters

10 = 56 characters

11 = 60 characters

5:4 FCR[5](MSB),

FCR[4] (LSB) TX trigger. Sets the trigger level for the TX FIFO.

00 = 8 spaces

01 = 16 spaces

10 = 32 spaces

11 = 56 spaces

FCR[5:4] can only be modiﬁed and enabled when EFR[4] is set. This is

because the transmit trigger level is regarded as an enhanced function.

3 FCR[3] reserved

2 FCR[2][1] reset TX FIFO

logic 0 = no FIFO transmit reset (normal default condition)

logic 1 = clears the contents of the transmit FIFO and resets the FIFO

level logic (the Transmit Shift Register is not cleared or altered). This bit

will return to a logic 0 after clearing the FIFO.

1 FCR[1][1] reset RX FIFO

logic 0 = no FIFO receive reset (normal default condition)

logic 1 = clears the contents of the receive FIFO and resets the FIFO

level logic (the Receive Shift Register is not cleared or altered). This bit

will return to a logic 0 after clearing the FIFO.

0 FCR[0] FIFO enable

logic 0 = disable the transmit and receive FIFO (normal default condition)

[1] 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

bits, and parity type are selected by writing the appropriate bits to the LCR. Table 12

shows the Line Control Register bit settings.

Table 12. Line Control Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7 LCR[7] divisor latch enable

logic 0 = divisor latch disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = divisor latch enabled

6 LCR[6] Break control bit. 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 to alert the

communication terminal to a line break condition

5 LCR[5] Set parity. LCR[5] selects the forced parity format (if LCR[3] = 1).

logic 0 = parity is not forced (normal default condition).

LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 0: parity bit is forced to a logical 1

for 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.

4 LCR[4] parity type select

logic 0 = odd parity is generated (if LCR[3] = 1)

logic 1 = even parity is generated (if LCR[3] = 1)

3 LCR[3] parity enable

logic 0 = no parity (normal default condition).

logic 1 = a parity bit is generated during transmission and the receiver

checks for received parity

2 LCR[2] Number of stop bits. Speciﬁes the number of stop bits.

0 to 1 stop bit (word length = 5, 6, 7, 8)

1 to 1.5 stop bits (word length = 5)

1 = 2 stop bits (word length = 6, 7, 8)

1:0 LCR[1:0] Word length bits 1, 0. These two bits specify the word length to be

transmitted or received; see Table 15.

8.5 Line Status Register (LSR)

Table 16 shows the Line Status Register bit settings.

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.

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.

Table 16. Line Status Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

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 host can now load up to

64 characters of data into the THR if the TX FIFO is enabled.

4 LSR[4] break interrupt

8.6 Modem Control Register (MCR)

The MCR controls the interface with the mode, data set, or peripheral device that is

emulating the modem. Table 17 shows the Modem Control Register bit settings.

[1] MCR[7:5] and MCR[2] can only be modiﬁed when EFR[4] is set, that is, EFR[4] is a write enable.

8.7 Modem Status Register (MSR)

This 8-bit register provides information about the current state of the control lines from the

modem, data set, or peripheral device to the host. It also indicates when a control input

from the modem changes state. Table 18 shows Modem Status Register bit settings.

[1] Only available on SC16IS750/SC16IS760.

8.8 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)

The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupt, receiver

error, RHR interrupt, THR interrupt, modem status, Xoff received, or CTS/RTS change of

state from LOW to HIGH. The IRQ output signal is activated in response to interrupt

generation. Table 19 shows the Interrupt Enable Register bit settings.

[1] IER[7:4] can only be modiﬁed if EFR[4] is set, that is, EFR[4] is a write enable. Re-enabling IER[1] will not

cause a new interrupt if the THR is below the threshold.

The IIR is a read-only 8-bit register which provides the source of the interrupt in a

prioritized manner. Table 20 shows Interrupt Identiﬁcation Register bit settings.

8.10 Enhanced Features Register (EFR)

This 8-bit register enables or disables the enhanced features of the UART. Table 22 shows

the enhanced feature register bit settings.

8.11 Division registers (DLL, DLH)

These are two 8-bit registers which store the 16-bit divisor for generation of the baud clock

in the baud rate generator. DLH stores the most signiﬁcant part of the divisor. DLL stores

the least signiﬁcant part of the divisor.

Remark: DLL and DLH can only be written to before Sleep mode is enabled, that is,

before IER[4] is set.

Table 22. Enhanced Features Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7 EFR[7] CTS ﬂow control enable

logic 0 = CTS ﬂow control is disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = CTS ﬂow control is enabled. Transmission will stop when a HIGH

logic 0 = RTS ﬂow control is disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = RTS ﬂow control is enabled. The RTS pin goes HIGH when the

receiver FIFO halt trigger level TCR[3:0] is reached, and goes LOW when

the receiver FIFO resume transmission trigger level TCR[7:4] is reached.

with Xoff2 data. If a match occurs, the received data is transferred to FIFO

and IIR[4] is set to a logical 1 to indicate a special character has been

detected.

8.12 Transmission Control Register (TCR)

This 8-bit register is used to store the RX FIFO threshold levels to stop/start transmission

during hardware/software ﬂow control. Table 23 shows Transmission Control Register bit

settings.

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.

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’.

8.14 Transmitter FIFO Level register (TXLVL)

This register is a read-only register, it reports the number of spaces available in the

transmit FIFO.

8.15 Receiver FIFO Level register (RXLVL)

This register is a read-only register, it reports the ﬁll level of the receive FIFO. That is, the

number of characters in the RX FIFO.

8.16 Programmable I/O pins Direction register (IODir)

This register is only available on the SC16IS750 and SC16IS760. This register is used to

program the I/O pins direction. Bit 0 to bit 7 controls GPIO0 to GPIO7.

Remark: If there is a pending input (GPIO) interrupt and IODir is written, this pending

interrupt will be cleared, that is, the interrupt signal will be negated.

8.17 Programmable I/O pins State Register (IOState)

This register is only available on the SC16IS750 and SC16IS760. When ‘read’, this

transferred to the corresponding IO pin programmed as output.

8.18 I/O Interrupt Enable Register (IOIntEna)

This register is only available on the SC16IS750 and SC16IS760. This register enables

the interrupt due to a change in the I/O conﬁgured as inputs. If GPIO[7:4] are programmed

as modem pins, their interrupt generation must be enabled via IER register bit 3. In this

case bit 7 to bit 4 of IOIntEna will have no effect on GPIO[7:4].

8.19 I/O Control register (IOControl)

This register is only available on the SC16IS750 and SC16IS760.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

Single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR

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.

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.

[1] 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.

Table 33 and Table 34 show the bits’ presentation at the subaddress byte for I2C-bus and

SPI interfaces. Bit 0 is not used, bits 2:1 select the channel, bits 6:3 select one of the

UART internal registers. Bit 7 is not used with the I2C-bus interface, but it is used by the

SPI interface to indicate a read or a write operation.

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

17.3 Wave soldering

Key characteristics in wave soldering are:

NXP Semiconductors SC16IS740/750/760

Single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR

•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.
