GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR17D1521 (D152) is a monolithic dual PCI Bus Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) in Exar’s PCI Bus UART family. The device is designed to meet today’s 32-bit PCI Bus and high bandwidth requirement in communication systems.
FEATURES
● High Performance Dual PCI UART
● Universal PCI Bus Buffers - Auto-sense 3.3V and
5V Operation
● 32-bit PCI Bus 2.3 Target Signalling Compliance
● A Global Interrupt Source Register for both UARTs
● Data Transfer in Byte, Word and Double-word
● Data Read/Write Burst Operation
● Each UART is independently controlled with:
■ 16C550 Compatible 5G Register Set
■ 64-byte Transmit and Receive FIFOs
■ Transmit and Receive FIFO Level Counters
■ Programmable TX and RX FIFO Trigger Level
■ Automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR Flow Control
■ Automatic Xon/Xoff Software Flow Control
■ Automatic RS485 HDX Control Output with
Selectable Turn-around Delay
■ Infrared (IrDA 1.0) Data Encoder/Decoder
■ Programmable Data Rate with Prescaler
■ Up to 6.25 Mbps Data Rate at 8X Sampling
● Eight Multi-Purpose Inputs/outputs
● A General Purpose 16-bit Timer/Counter
● Sleep Mode with Automatic Wake-up
● EEPROM Interface for PCI Configuration
● Same package and pin-out as the XR17C152
(14x14x1.0 mm TQFP)
