XR16C854CVTR-F

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Overview

The XR16C854CVTR-F is a quad enhanced Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) interface integrated circuit manufactured by MaxLinear. It features four independent UART channels, each equipped with 128-byte transmit and receive FIFOs to support high-speed data throughput up to 2 Mb/s. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.97 V to 5.5 V and supports standard logic levels including 3.3 V and 5 V. It is housed in a 64-pin LQFP package designed for surface-mount technology applications.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Feature Summary

• Quad channel architecture with dedicated 128-byte TX and RX FIFOs per channel
• Supports Intel and Motorola bus interfaces for flexible system integration
• Wide operating voltage range accommodating 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Applications
