 SC16C550B
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
Rev. 02 -- 14 December 2004 Product data
1. General description
The SC16C550B is a 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 3 Mbit/s. The SC16C550B is pin compatible with the ST16C550, TL16C550 and PC16C550, and it will power-up to be functionally equivalent to the 16C450. The SC16C550B also provides DMA mode data transfers through FIFO trigger levels and the TXRDY and RXRDY signals. On-board status registers provide the user with error indications, operational status, and modem interface control. System interrupts may be tailored to meet user requirements. An internal loop-back capability allows on-board diagnostics. The SC16C550B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V, and the Industrial temperature range, and is available in plastic DIP40, PLCC44 and LQFP48 packages.

When any of these inputs are inactive, the UART remains inactive (refer to AS description). Clear to send. CTS is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 4 (CTS) of the modem status register. Bit 0 (CTS) of the modem status register indicates that CTS has changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when CTS changes levels and the auto-CTS mode is not enabled, an interrupt is generated. This pin has no effect on the UART's transmit or receive operation. Data bus. Eight data lines with 3-State outputs provide a bi-directional path for data, control and status information between the UART and the CPU. Data carrier detect. DCD is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 7 (DCD) of the modem status register. Bit 3 (DCD) of the modem status register indicates that DCD has changed states since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when DCD changes levels, an interrupt is generated. Driver disable. DDIS is active (LOW) when the CPU is not reading data. When active, DDIS can disable an external transceiver. Data set ready. DSR is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 5 (DSR) of the modem status register. Bit 1 (DSR) of the modem status register indicates DSR has changed levels since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when DSR changes levels, an interrupt is generated. Data terminal ready. When active (LOW), DTR informs a modem or data set that the UART is ready to establish communication. DTR is placed in the active level by setting the DTR bit of the modem control register. DTR is placed in the inactive level either as a result of a Master Reset, during loop mode operation, or clearing the DTR bit. Interrupt. When active (HIGH), INT informs the CPU that the UART has an interrupt to be serviced. Four conditions that cause an interrupt to be issued are: a receiver error, received data that is available or timed out (FIFO mode only), an empty transmitter holding register or an enabled modem status interrupt. INT is reset (deactivated) either when the interrupt is serviced or as a result of a Master Reset. Not connected. Type Description

When either IOR or IOR is active (LOW or HIGH, respectively) while the UART is selected, the CPU is allowed to read status information or data from a selected UART register. Only one of these inputs is required for the transfer of data during a read operation; the other input should be tied to its inactive level (i.e., IOR tied LOW or IOR tied HIGH). Master Reset. When active (HIGH), RESET clears most UART registers and sets the levels of various output signals. Ring indicator. RI is a modem status signal. Its condition can be checked by reading bit 6 (RI) of the modem status register. Bit 2 (TERI) of the modem status register indicates that RI has transitioned from a LOW to a HIGH level since the last read from the modem status register. If the modem status interrupt is enabled when this transition occurs, an interrupt is generated. Request to send. When active, RTS informs the modem or data set that the UART is ready to receive data. RTS is set to the active level by setting the RTS modem control register bit and is set to the inactive (HIGH) level either as a result of a Master Reset or during loop mode operations or by clearing bit 1 (RTS) of the MCR. This pin has no effect on the UART's transmit or receive operation. Receiver ready. Receiver direct memory access (DMA) signaling is available with RXRDY. When operating in the FIFO mode, one of two types of DMA signaling can be selected using the FIFO control register bit 3 (FCR[3]). When operating in the 16C450 mode, only DMA mode 0 is allowed. Mode 0 supports single-transfer DMA in which a transfer is made between CPU bus cycles. Mode 1 supports multi-transfer DMA in which multiple transfers are made continuously until the receiver FIFO has been emptied. In DMA mode 0 (FCR0 = 0 or FCR0 = 1, FCR3 = 0), when there is at least one character in the receiver FIFO or receiver holding register, RXRDY is active (LOW). When RXRDY has been active but there are no characters in the FIFO or holding register, RXRDY goes inactive (HIGH). In DMA mode 1 (FCR0 = 1, FCR3 = 1), when the trigger level or the time-out has been reached, RXRDY goes active (LOW); when it has been active but there are no more characters in the FIFO or holding register, it goes inactive (HIGH). Serial data input. RX is serial data input from a connected communications device. Serial data output. TX is composite serial data output to a connected communication device. TX is set to the marking (HIGH) level as a result of Master Reset. Transmitter ready. Transmitter DMA signaling is available with TXRDY. When operating in the FIFO mode, one of two types of DMA signaling can be selected using FCR[3]. When operating in the 16C450 mode, only DMA mode 0 is allowed. Mode 0 supports single-transfer DMA in which a transfer is made between CPU bus cycles. Mode 1 supports multi-transfer DMA in which multiple transfers are made continuously until the transmit FIFO has been filled. Type Description

6. Functional description
The SC16C550B provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data character (character orientated protocol). Data integrity is insured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The SC16C550B is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process to achieve low drain power and high speed requirements. The SC16C550B is an upward solution that provides 16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C450. The SC16C550B is designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the SC16C550B by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four selectable levels of FIFO trigger interrupt are provided for maximum data throughput performance, especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The combination of the above greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU, increases performance, and reduces power consumption. The SC16C550B is capable of operation up to 3 Mbit/s with a 48 MHz external clock input (at 5 V).

6.1 Internal registers
The SC16C550B provides 12 internal registers for monitoring and control. These registers are shown in Table 3. These registers function as data holding registers (THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (IER/ISR), a FIFO control register (FCR), line status and control registers (LCR/LSR), modem status and control registers (MCR/MSR), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM), and a user accessible scratchpad register (SPR). Register functions are more fully described in the following paragraphs.

These registers are accessible only when LCR[7] is a logic 0. These registers are accessible only when LCR[7] is a logic 1.
6.2 FIFO operation
The 16-byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register bit-0 (FCR[0]). With 16C550 devices, the user can set the receive trigger level, but not the transmit trigger level. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure data is delivered to the external CPU. An interrupt is generated whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character or the receive trigger level has not been reached.

6.3 Autoflow control (see Figure 5)
Autoflow control is comprised of auto-CTS and auto-RTS. With auto-CTS, the CTS input must be active before the transmitter FIFO can emit data. With auto-RTS, RTS becomes active when the receiver needs more data and notifies the sending serial device. When RTS is connected to CTS, data transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has space for the data; thus, overrun errors are eliminated using UART 1 and UART 2 from a SC16C550B with the autoflow control enabled. If not, overrun errors occur when the transmit data rate exceeds the receiver FIFO read latency.

Fig 5. Autoflow control (auto-RTS and auto-CTS) example.
6.3.1
Auto-RTS (see Figure 5) Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver timing and control block (see Figure 1 "Block diagram.") and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger level. When the receiver FIFO level reaches a trigger level of 1, 4, or 8 (see Figure 7), RTS is de-asserted. With trigger levels of 1, 4, and 8, the sending UART may send an additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another byte to send) because it may not recognize the de-assertion of RTS until after it has begun sending the additional byte. RTS is automatically reasserted once the RX FIFO is emptied by reading the receiver buffer register. When the trigger level is 14 (see Figure 8), RTS is de-asserted after the first data bit of the 16th character is present on the RX line. RTS is reasserted when the RX FIFO has at least one available byte space.
6.3.2
Auto-CTS (see Figure 5) The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte. When CTS is active, it sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS must be released before the middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent (see Figure 6). The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host system. When flow control is enabled, CTS level changes do not trigger host interrupts because the device automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends any data present in the transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error may result.

(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out. (2) If CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current byte, the transmitter finishes sending the current byte, but is does not send the next byte. (3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

(1) RTS is de-asserted when the receiver receives the first data bit of the sixteenth byte. The receive FIFO is full after finishing the sixteenth byte. (2) RTS is asserted again when there is at least one byte of space available and no incoming byte is in processing, or there is more than one byte of space available. (3) When the receive FIFO is full, the first receive buffer register read re-asserts RTS.

6.4 Hardware/software and time-out interrupts
Following a reset, the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the SC16C550B will issue an interrupt to indicate that the Transmit Holding Register is empty. This interrupt must be serviced prior to continuing operations. The ISR register provides the current singular highest priority interrupt only. Only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the lower priority be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors. When two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these interrupts correctly. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time Out have the same interrupt priority (when enabled by IER[0]). The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case, the SC16C550B FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level. Following the removal of a data byte, the user should re-check LSR[0] for additional characters. A Receive Time Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each time the receive holding register (RHR) is read. The actual time-out value is 4 character time, including data information length, start bit, parity bit, and the size of stop bit, i.e., 1x, 1.5x, or 2x bit times.

SC16C550B
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
6.5 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16C550B supports high speed modem technologies that have increased input data rates by employing data compression schemes. For example, a 33.6 kbit/s modem that employs data compression may require a 115.2 kbit/s input data rate. A 128.0 kbit/s ISDN modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate of 460.8 kbit/s. The SC16C550B can support a standard data rate of 921.6 kbit/s. A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing independent TX/RX channel control. The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable of accepting an input clock up to 48 MHz, as required for supporting a 3 Mbit/s data rate. The SC16C550B can be configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock oscillator operation, an industry standard microprocessor crystal is connected externally between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 9). Alternatively, an external clock can be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or custom rates (see Table 6).

The generator divides the input 16x clock by any divisor from 1 to 216 - 1. The SC16C550B divides the basic crystal or external clock by 16. The frequency of the BAUDOUT output pin is exactly 16x (16 times) of the selected baud rate (BAUDOUT = 16 Baud Rate). Customized baud rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB sections of baud rate generator. Programming the Baud Rate Generator registers DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example in Table 6 shows selectable baud rates when using a 1.8432 MHz crystal. For custom baud rates, the divisor value can be calculated using the following equation: XTAL1 clock frequency Divisor (in decimal) = ---------------------------------------------------------serial data rate x 16

6.6 DMA operation
The SC16C550B FIFO trigger level provides additional flexibility to the user for block mode operation. The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFOs in the DMA mode (FCR[3]). The DMA mode affects the state of the RXRDY and TXRDY output pins. Tables 7 and 8 show this.

6.7 Loop-back mode
The internal loop-back capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the loop-back mode, the normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loop-back internally. MCR[0:3] register bits are used for controlling loop-back diagnostic testing. In the loop-back mode, OUT1 and OUT2 in the MCR register (bits 3-2) control the modem RI and DCD inputs, respectively. MCR signals DTR and RTS (bits 0-1) are used to control the modem CTS and DSR inputs, respectively. The transmitter output (TX) and the receiver input (RX) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together internally (see Figure 10). The CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI are disconnected from their normal modem control input pins, and instead are connected internally to DTR, RTS, OUT1 and OUT2. Loop-back test data is entered into the transmit holding register via the user data bus interface, D0-D7. The transmit UART serializes the data and passes the serial data to the receive UART via the internal loop-back connection. The receive UART converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then made available at the user data interface D0-D7. The user optionally compares the received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error-free operation of the UART TX/RX circuits. In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also operational. However, the interrupts can only be read using lower four bits of the Modem Status Register (MSR[0:3]) instead of the four Modem Status Register bits 4-7. The interrupts are still controlled by the IER.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V UART with 16-byte FIFOs
7.1 Transmit (THR) and Receive (RHR) Holding Registers
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D7-D0) to the THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The THR empty flag in the LSR register will be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR. Note that a write operation can be performed when the THR empty flag is set (logic 0 = FIFO full; logic 1 = at least one FIFO location available). The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR). Receive data is removed from the SC16C550B and receive FIFO by reading the RHR register. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at the 16x clock rate. After 7-12 clocks, the start bit time should be shifted to the center of the start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled, and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated. Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false character. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR.
7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen on the INT output pin.
Table 10: Bit 7:4 3 Interrupt Enable Register bits description Description Not used. Modem Status Interrupt. Logic 0 = Disable the modem status register interrupt (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Enable the modem status register interrupt. 2 IER[2] Receive Line Status interrupt. This interrupt will be issued whenever a fully assembled receive character is transferred from RSR to the RHR/FIFO, i.e., data ready, LSR[0]. Logic 0 = Disable the receiver line status interrupt (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Enable the receiver line status interrupt. 1 IER[1] Transmit Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt will be issued whenever the THR is empty, and is associated with LSR[1]. Logic 0 = Disable the transmitter empty interrupt (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Enable the transmitter empty interrupt. 0 IER[0] Receive Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt will be issued when the FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level, or is cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level in the FIFO mode of operation. Logic 0 = Disable the receiver ready interrupt (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Enable the receiver ready interrupt.

7.2.1
IER versus Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation When the receive FIFO (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts (IER[0] = logic 1) are enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following:
* The receive data available interrupts are issued to the external CPU when the
FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.
* FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when the
FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register status bit and the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.
* The data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the
shift register to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty. 7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[0:3] enables the SC16C550B in the FIFO polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the LSR, either or both can be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or receive control bit(s).
* * * *
LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO. LSR[1:4] will provide the type of errors encountered, if any. LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty. LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are empty.
* LSR[7] will indicate any FIFO data errors.

7.3 FIFO Control Register (FCR)
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the receive FIFO trigger levels, and select the DMA mode. 7.3.1 DMA mode Mode 0 (FCR bit 3 = `0'): Set and enable the interrupt for each single transmit or receive operation, and is similar to the 16C450 mode. Transmit Ready (TXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever an empty transmit space is available in the Transmit Holding Register (THR). Receive Ready (RXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is loaded with a character. Mode 1 (FCR bit 3 = `1'): Set and enable the interrupt in a block mode operation. The transmit interrupt is set when the transmit FIFO has at least one empty location. The receive interrupt is set when the receive FIFO fills to the programmed trigger level. However, the FIFO continues to fill regardless of the programmed level until the FIFO is full. RXRDY remains a logic 0 as long as the FIFO fill level is above the programmed trigger level. 7.3.2 FIFO mode
Table 11: Bit 7-6 FIFO Control Register bits description Description RCVR trigger. These bits are used to set the trigger level for the receive FIFO interrupt. An interrupt is generated when the number of characters in the FIFO equals the programmed trigger level. However, the FIFO will continue to be loaded until it is full. Refer to Table 12.

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)
The SC16C550B provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external software interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until the pending interrupt is serviced. Whenever the interrupt status register is read, the interrupt status is cleared. However, it should be noted that only the current pending interrupt is cleared by the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after re-reading the interrupt status bits. Table 13 "Interrupt source" shows the data values (bits 0-3) for the four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these interrupt levels.

7.5 Line Control Register (LCR)
The Line Control Register is used to specify the asynchronous data communication format. The word length, the number of stop bits, and the parity are selected by writing the appropriate bits in this register.
Table 15: Bit 7 Line Control Register bits description Description Divisor latch enable. The internal baud rate counter latch and Enhance Feature mode enable. Logic 0 = Divisor latch disabled (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Divisor latch and enhanced feature register enabled. 6 LCR[6] Set break. When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a logic 0 state). This condition exists until disabled by setting LCR[6] to a logic 0. Logic 0 = no TX break condition (normal default condition). Logic 1 = forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic 0 for alerting the remote receiver to a line break condition. 5 LCR[5] Set parity. If the parity bit is enabled, LCR[5] selects the forced parity format. Programs the parity conditions (see Table 16). Logic 0 = parity is not forced (normal default condition). LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 0: parity bit is forced to a logical 1 for the transmit and receive data. LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 1: parity bit is forced to a logical 0 for the transmit and receive data. 4 LCR[4] Even parity. If the parity bit is enabled with LCR[3] set to a logic 1, LCR[4] selects the even or odd parity format. Logic 0 = ODD Parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1s in the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format (normal default condition). Logic 1 = EVEN Parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1s in the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same format. 3 LCR[3] Parity enable. Parity or no parity can be selected via this bit. Logic 0 = no parity (normal default condition). Logic 1 = a parity bit is generated during the transmission, receiver checks the data and parity for transmission errors. 2 LCR[2] Stop bits. The length of stop bit is specified by this bit in conjunction with the programmed word length (see Table 17). Logic 0 or cleared = default condition. 1:0 LCR[1:0] Word length bits 1, 0. These two bits specify the word length to be transmitted or received (see Table 18). Logic 0 or cleared = default condition.

Table 20: Bit 7 Line Status Register bits description Description FIFO data error. Logic 0 = No error (normal default condition). Logic 1 = At least one parity error, framing error or break indication is in the current FIFO data. This bit is cleared when LSR register is read. 6 LSR[6] THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a logic 1 whenever the transmit holding register and the transmit shift register are both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a data character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to `1' whenever the transmit FIFO and transmit shift register are both empty. THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is transferred from the transmit holding register into the transmitter shift register. The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the transmitter holding register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the transmit FIFO. Break interrupt. Logic 0 = No break condition (normal default condition). Logic 1 = The receiver received a break signal (RX was a logic 0 for one character frame time). In the FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded into the FIFO. 3 LSR[3] Framing error. Logic 0 = No framing error (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s). In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 2 LSR[2] Parity error. Logic 0 = No parity error (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the FIFO. 1 LSR[1] Overrun error. Logic 0 = No overrun error (normal default condition). Logic 1 = Overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the receive shift register. This happens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In this case, the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under this condition, the data byte in the receive shift register is not transferred into the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.

7.8 Modem Status Register (MSR)
This register provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or other peripheral device to which the SC16C550B is connected. Four bits of this register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1 whenever a control input from the modem changes state. These bits are set to a logic 0 whenever the CPU reads this register.
Table 21: Bit 7 Modem Status Register bits description Description Data Carrier Detect. DCD (Active-HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the DCD input. In the loop-back mode this bit is equivalent to the OUT2 bit in the MCR register. Ring Indicator. RI (Active-HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the RI input. In the loop-back mode this bit is equivalent to the OUT1 bit in the MCR register. Data Set Ready. DSR (Active-HIGH, logical 1). Normally this bit is the complement of the DSR input. In loop-back mode this bit is equivalent to the DTR bit in the MCR register. Clear To Send. CTS. CTS functions as hardware flow control signal input if it is enabled via MCR[5]. The transmit holding register flow control is enabled/disabled by MSR[4]. Flow control (when enabled) allows starting and stopping the transmissions based on the external modem CTS signal. A logic 1 at the CTS pin will stop SC16C550B transmissions as soon as current character has finished transmission. Normally MSR[4] is the complement of the CTS input. However, in the loop-back mode, this bit is equivalent to the RTS bit in the MCR register. DCD [1] Logic 0 = No DCD change (normal default condition). Logic 1 = The DCD input to the SC16C550B has changed state since the last time it was read. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated. 2 MSR[2] RI [1] Logic 0 = No RI change (normal default condition). Logic 1 = The RI input to the SC16C550B has changed from a logic 0 to a logic 1. A modem Status Interrupt will be generated.

12. Soldering
12.1 Introduction
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in our Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages (document order number 9398 652 90011). There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and surface mount components are mixed on one printed-circuit board. Wave soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended. Driven by legislation and environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
12.2 Through-hole mount packages
12.2.1 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 to 4 seconds at 250 C or 265 C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively. The total contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 seconds. The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg(max)). If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit. 12.2.2 Manual soldering Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the package, either below the seating plane or not more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit is less than 300 C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is between 300 and 400 C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
12.3 Surface mount packages
12.3.1 Reflow soldering Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating method. Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 to 270 C depending on solder paste material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:
* below 225 C (SnPb process) or below 245 C (Pb-free process)
- for all the BGA and SSOP-T packages

- for packages with a thickness 2.5 mm - for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume 350 mm3 so called thick/large packages.
* below 240 C (SnPb process) or below 260 C (Pb-free process) for packages with
a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages. Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times. 12.3.2 Wave soldering Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and non-wetting can present major problems. To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically developed. If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:
* Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high
upward pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.
* For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
- larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board; - smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
* For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45 angle
to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners. During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured. Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 to 4 seconds at 250 C or 265 C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively. A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most applications. 12.3.3 Manual soldering Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 C. When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between 270 and 320 C.

For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the (LF)BGA Application Note (AN01026); order a copy from your Philips Semiconductors sales office. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods. For SDIP packages, the longitudinal axis must be parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages. These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reflow soldering conditions and must on no account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reflow soldering with peak temperature exceeding 217 C 10 C measured in the atmosphere of the reflow oven. The package body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45 angle to the solder wave direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners. Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm. Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
