ST16C2450CJ44-F

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Overview

The ST16C2450CJ44-F is a dual Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface integrated circuit manufactured by MaxLinear. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.97V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 4 Mb/s. The device features 16-byte transmit and receive FIFOs for each channel, reducing CPU overhead during serial communication. It is housed in a 44-pin PLCC package and is designed for surface-mount installation. The component supports Intel bus compatibility and functions across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Feature Summary

• Dual UART channels with independent 16-byte transmit and receive FIFOs
• Compatible with Intel bus architecture for simplified system integration
• Supports operation at standard 3.3V and 5V power supply levels

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication
• Embedded computer interfaces utilizing Intel-compatible bus protocols

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements. Confirm that the PLCC-44 package availability aligns with your PCB assembly capabilities. Check for any End-of-Life notices or Production Change Notifications issued by MaxLinear prior to finalizing procurement plans.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel UART solution with moderate buffering is required for Intel-bus compatible systems. Ensure the design accommodates the PLCC-44 footprint and the specified commercial temperature range. Compare against single-channel alternatives if only one port is needed, or higher-capacity FIFO devices if larger data buffers are necessary for high-throughput applications.
