TL16C2550RHBR

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Overview

The TL16C2550RHBR is a dual universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and features two independent UART channels, each equipped with a 16-byte FIFO buffer. The device supports data transfer rates up to 1.5 Mbps and includes an internal oscillator capable of operating at frequencies up to 24 MHz. It is housed in a 32-pin VQFN package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RHBR against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the exact tape-and-reel packaging configuration and quantity per reel. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to validate current availability status and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires two independent UART interfaces with moderate FIFO depth. The 1.8 V minimum supply voltage makes it suitable for low-power logic domains. Verify that the required baud rates are supported by the internal oscillator settings and that the 32-pin VQFN footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Part Context

This part belongs to the TL16C255x family of dual UARTs from Texas Instruments. It shares functional similarities with other members like the TL16C2550IPFBRQ1 but differs in package type and commercial versus automotive qualification. The RHBR suffix specifically denotes the commercial grade variant in a reeled surface-mount package.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other variants within the TL16C255x series such as the TL16C2550IRHBR. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 16-byte FIFO structure and voltage operating range to ensure circuit compatibility without hardware modification.
