General description
The SC68C652B is a 2 channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to convert parallel data into serial data and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data rates up to 5 Mbit/s. The SC68C652B is pin compatible with the SC68C2550B. The SC68C652B provides enhanced UART functions with 32-byte FIFOs, modem control interface, DMA mode data transfer, and infrared (IrDA) encoder/decoder.

Features
■ 2 channel UART with 68 mode (Motorola) µP interface
■ 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V operation
■ 5 V tolerant on input only pins1
■ Industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C)
■ Software compatible with industry standard 16C450, 16C550, and SC16C650
■ Up to 5 Mbit/s baud rate at 5 V and 3.3 V, and 3 Mbit/s at 2.5 V
■ 32-byte transmit FIFO to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the external CPU
■ 32-byte receive FIFO with error flags to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the external CPU
■ Independent transmit and receive UART control
