Overview

Description

The 82C50A Asynchronous Communication Element (ACE) is a high performance programmable Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) and Baud Rate Generator (BRG) on a single chip. Using Intersil's advanced Scaled SAJI IV CMOS Process, the ACE will support data rates from DC to 625K baud (0-10MHz clock). The ACE's receiver circuitry converts start, data, stop, and parity bits into a parallel data word. The transmitter circuitry converts a parallel data word into serial form and appends the start, parity, and stop bits. The word length is programmable to 5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits. Stop bit selection provides a choice of 1, 1. 5, or 2 stop bits. The Baud Rate Generator divides the clock by a divisor programmable from 1 to 216-1 to provide standard RS- 232C baud rates when using any one of three industry standard baud rate crystals (1. 8432MHz, 2. 4576MHz, or 3. 072MHz). A programmable buffered clock output (BAUDOUT) provides either a buffered oscillator or 16X (16 times the data rate) baud rate clock for general purpose system use. To meet the system requirements of a CPU interfacing to an asynchronous channel, the modem control signals RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, RI, DCD are provided. Inputs and outputs have been designed with full TTL/CMOS compatibility in order to facilitate mixed TTL/NMOS/CMOS system design.
