UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as this part has been associated with both MaxLinear and EXAR due to corporate acquisitions. Confirm current availability status, as distribution channels may list limited stock or end-of-life conditions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package variant and check RoHS compliance documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single UART channel with moderate speed up to 3.125 Mbit/s is sufficient. The wide voltage range allows compatibility with various logic levels without external level shifters in many cases. Consider the 16-byte FIFO depth against system latency requirements. Verify that the QFN-24 package fits the PCB footprint constraints compared to larger packages like QFN-32.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Part Context

This component belongs to the XR16L580 series of UART interface ICs. It serves as a bridge between parallel processor buses and serial asynchronous data streams. The series is designed for applications requiring robust serial communication in industrial and consumer electronics environments. It provides a cost-effective solution for adding serial ports to microcontroller-based systems.

UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the same MaxLinear family. Verify if higher-speed variants are necessary for future-proofing. Ensure any substitute maintains support for the required protocol standards such as RS-485 or IrDA.
