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.
