Dual UART with 64-byte FIFOs at 3 Mbps
The TL16C752BTPTREP is a dual universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART) from Texas Instruments integrating two independent UART channels in a single 48-LQFP package. Each channel includes a 64-byte transmit and receive FIFO, reducing processor overhead during high-speed serial transfers. Data rate reaches 3 Mbps per channel, suitable for industrial automation, point-of-sale terminals, and telecom line cards where buffered serial throughput is critical. Operates from a 2.7V to 3.6V supply rail, making it a natural fit for 3.3V logic systems. 5V-tolerant input is not specified — level translation is required for legacy 5V UART buses. Auto flow control (RTS/CTS) and false start bit detection are included on-chip, simplifying link management without external glue logic.
Sourcing and production status
The 7x7 mm body requires careful PCB layout for fan-out.
Modem control and flow features
Each UART channel includes full modem control signals (CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR, RI, DCD) for direct connection to RS-232 transceivers or modem chipsets. Auto flow control manages RTS/CTS handshake without CPU intervention, reducing latency in buffered data streams. False start bit detection filters line noise on the serial input.
