Description: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)
Core16550 is a UART with or without FIFO support used for asynchronous communication. It is 100% software compatible with the Texas Instruments 16550 device and capable of a baud rate greater than 10 Mb/s on Axcelerator devices. The 16550 is useful to implement a serial (RS232) or modem interface.
Features:
- Serial communication controller
- Optional APB bus interface
- TX and RX buffered to reduce interrupts
- Programmable baud generator
- Independent receiver clock input
- Standard modem control functions
- Programmable Serial interface
- Complete status register
- Prioritized interrupt system control interfaces
- Supports Actel's ProASIC3, IGLOO, Fusion, ProASICPLUS and Axcelerator device families
- 9% Utilization in Actel's AFS600
- 20% Utilization in Actel's A3P250
- 42% Utilization in Actel's AX125
- 47% Utilization in Actel's APA075
