The P8251A-G is a programmable communication interface manufactured by Rochester Electronics, LLC. It functions as a Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART) designed for data communications with microprocessor families including MCS-48, 80, 85, and iAPX 86, 88. The device accepts parallel data characters from the CPU and converts them into a continuous serial data stream for transmission. Simultaneously, it receives serial data streams and converts them into parallel data characters for the CPU. It signals the CPU upon accepting new characters or receiving completed ones. The chip supports virtually any serial data transmission technique currently in use.
The P8251A-G is part of the P8251A product line, which serves as an industry-standard USART. This component is fabricated using high-performance HMOS technology. It is distributed by Rochester Electronics, LLC, often serving as a source for legacy components no longer in primary production.
The TMP82C51A from Toshiba Semiconductor is listed as a similar function alternative. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against the original system requirements before substitution.
