XR20M1170IL16-F

Controllers Overview

The XR20M1170IL16-F is a single-channel UART interface integrated circuit manufactured by MaxLinear. It converts I2C or SPI serial interfaces to asynchronous UART signals, featuring a 64-byte FIFO buffer for data handling. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.62 V to 3.63 V and supports data rates up to 16 Mb/s. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Power consumption is specified at 250 µA and 500 µA under different conditions. The component is housed in a TSSOP-16 surface-mount package.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates I2C and SPI host interfaces with asynchronous UART output capabilities
• Includes a 64-byte first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory buffer
• Supports high-speed serial communication with data rates reaching 16 Mb/s

Controllers Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring serial-to-UART conversion
• Embedded devices utilizing I2C or SPI buses for legacy UART connectivity
• IoT gateways and sensor nodes needing low-power serial interfacing

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IL16' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets. Check for obsolescence notices as previous variants in this series have been discontinued. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents for quality assurance purposes.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single UART channel is required alongside I2C or SPI masters. The 64-byte FIFO helps manage data throughput efficiently. Verify that the system voltage falls within the 1.62 V to 3.63 V operating range. Consider the TSSOP-16 package constraints for PCB layout design and thermal management requirements.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the XR20M1170 series of I2C/SPI to UART converters. It serves as a bridge between modern serial buses and traditional asynchronous communication standards. The device is designed for applications where space is limited and power efficiency is critical. It replaces discrete UART solutions in compact electronic designs.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the XR20M1170 family. Verify pin compatibility if considering alternative packages. Review manufacturer change notices for any functional updates in newer revisions.
