UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR-F indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor declarations prior to procurement. Ensure the component matches the exact part number to avoid pinout mismatches associated with similar PLCC-44 variants.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel serial communication with FIFO buffering is required. Verify that the system logic levels align with the 2.97 V to 5.5 V operating range. Ensure the design accommodates the PLCC-44 footprint and thermal requirements for the specified commercial temperature range.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Part Context

This part belongs to the ST16C2550/ST16C2450 family of dual UARTs from MaxLinear. It shares functional similarities with the ST16C2550 but may differ in specific timing parameters or interrupt configurations. It serves as a legacy interface solution for systems transitioning from older Intel-compatible architectures.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Replacement Considerations

The ST16C2550CJ44-F is a related dual UART variant within the same family. Verify electrical compatibility and register mapping before substitution. Other replacements require careful evaluation of FIFO depth and bus interface compatibility.
