MaxLinear ST16C554DIQ64-F

The ST16C554, ST16C554D and ST68C554 are each quad Universal Asynchronous Receivers and Transmitters (UARTs) with 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, selectable receive FIFO trigger levels, and data rates of up to 1.5Mbps. Each UART has a set of registers that provide the user with operating status and control, receiver error indications, and modem serial interface controls. An internal loopback capability allows onboard diagnostics. The ST16C554 is available in a 64-pin LQFP package, the ST16C554D is available in both a 64-pin LQFP and a 68-pin PLCC package, and the ST68C554 is available in a 68-pin PLCC package. The 64-pin package only offers the 16 mode interface, but the 68-pin package offers an additional 68 mode interface which allows easy integration with Motorola processors. The ST16C554CQ64 (64-pin) offers three-state interrupt output while the ST16C554DCQ64 provides continuous interrupt output. The ST16C554 and ST16C554D combine the package interface modes of the 16C554 and 68C554 on a single integrated chip.
