1. General description
The SC16IS741A1 is a slave I2C-bus/SPI interface to a single-channel high performance UART. It offers data rates up to 5 Mbit/s and guarantees low operating and sleeping current. The device comes in the TSSOP16 package, which makes it ideally suitable for handheld, battery operated applications. This device enables seamless protocol conversion from I2C-bus or SPI to and RS-232/RS-485 and are fully bidirectional.
The SC16IS741A’s internal register set is backward-compatible with the widely used and widely popular 16C450. This allows the software to be easily written or ported from another platform.
