ST16C1550IQ48-F is listed in the UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists MaxLinear, Inc.. Its product description is IC UART FIFO 16B 48TQFP. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The ST16C1550IQ48-F is a dual-channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) manufactured by MaxLinear. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.97V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 4 Mbps. The device features integrated 16-byte transmit and receive FIFOs to enhance throughput efficiency. Packaged in a 48-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with surface mount installation, it measures 9.2mm in length and 1.2mm in height. The component is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as historical records indicate Exar as the original producer before acquisition by MaxLinear. Confirm that the IQ48 suffix corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and TQFP package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts designed for 48-pin QFP footprints.
Select this component when dual independent UART channels are required in a single package. It is suitable for designs needing support for both RS-485 and RS-232 protocols without external transceivers if integrated drivers are present. Consider the 48-pin TQFP footprint constraints and the 2.97V to 5.5V power supply requirements during schematic design.
This part belongs to the ST16C15xx series of UART controllers. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the ST16C2550 but differs in channel count and specific interface capabilities. The series is characterized by high-performance FIFOs and wide voltage operation, serving as a bridge between parallel microprocessor buses and serial communication lines.
The XR16M2550IL32-F offers similar UART functionality but utilizes a 32-pin QFN package and lower voltage range (1.62V-3.63V), requiring significant PCB redesign. Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same 48-pin TQFP form factor should be verified against official substitution lists.
