1. General description
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 is an I2C-bus/SPI bus interface to a dual-channel high
performance UART offering data rates up to 5 Mbit/s, low operating and sleeping current;
it also provides the application with 8 additional programmable I/O pins. The device comes
in very small HVQFN32 and TSSOP28 packages, which makes it ideally suitable for
hand-held, battery-operated applications. This chip enables seamless protocol conversion
from I2C-bus/SPI to RS-232/RS-485 and is fully bidirectional.
The SC16IS762 differs from the SC16IS752 in that it supports SPI clock speeds up to
15 Mbit/s instead of the 4 Mbit/s supported by the SC16IS752, and in that it supports IrDA
SIR up to 1.152 Mbit/s. In all other aspects, the SC16IS762 is functionally and electrically
the same as the SC16IS752.
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762’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.
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 also provides additional advanced features such as auto
hardware and software flow control, automatic RS-485 support and software reset. This
allows the software to reset the UART at any moment, independent of the hardware reset
signal.

NXP Semiconductors SC16IS752/SC16IS762
Dual UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR
7. Functional description
The UART will perform serial-to-I2C-bus conversion on data characters received from
peripheral devices or modems, and I2C-bus-to-serial conversion on data characters
transmitted by the host. The complete status of the SC16IS752/SC16IS762 UART can be
read at any time during functional operation by the host.
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO mode) relieving
the host of excessive software overhead by buffering received/transmitted characters.
Both the receiver and transmitter FIFOs can store up to 64 characters (including three
additional bits of error status per character for the receiver FIFO) and have selectable or
programmable trigger levels.
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 has selectable hardware flow control and software flow
control. Hardware flow control significantly reduces software overhead and increases
system efficiency by automatically controlling serial data flow using the RTS output and
CTS input signals. Software flow control automatically controls data flow by using
programmable Xon/Xoff characters.
The UART includes a programmable baud rate generator that can divide the timing
reference clock input by a divisor between 1 and (216 1).
7.1 Trigger levels
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 provides independently selectable and programmable trigger
levels for both receiver and transmitter interrupt generation. After reset, both transmitter
and receiver FIFOs are disabled and so, in effect, the trigger level is the default value of
one character. The selectable trigger levels are available via the FIFO Control Register
(FCR). The programmable trigger levels are available via the Trigger Level Register (TLR).
If TLR bits are cleared, then selectable trigger level in FCR is used. If TLR bits are not
cleared, then programmable trigger level in TLR is used.
7.2 Hardware flow control
Hardware flow control is comprised of Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS (see Figure 4). Auto-CTS
and Auto-RTS can be enabled/disabled independently by programming EFR[7:6].
With Auto-CTS, CTS must be active before the UART can transmit data.
Auto-RTS only activates the RTS output when there is enough room in the FIFO to receive
data and de-activates the RTS output when the RX FIFO is sufficiently full. The halt and
resume trigger levels in the Transmission Control Register (TCR) determine the levels at
which RTS is activated/deactivated. If TCR bits are cleared, then selectable trigger levels
in FCR are used in place of TCR.
If both Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS are enabled, when RTS is connected to CTS, data
transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has empty space. Thus, overrun
errors are eliminated during hardware flow control. If not enabled, overrun errors occur if
the transmit data rate exceeds the receive FIFO servicing latency.

7.2.1 Auto-RTS
Figure 5 shows RTS functional timing. The receiver FIFO trigger levels used in Auto-RTS
are stored in the TCR. RTS is active if the RX FIFO level is below the halt trigger level in
TCR[3:0]. When the receiver FIFO halt trigger level is reached, RTS is deasserted. The
sending device (for example, another UART) may send an additional character after the
trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another character to send)
because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS until it has begun sending the
additional character. RTS is automatically reasserted once the receiver FIFO reaches the
resume trigger level programmed via TCR[7:4]. This reassertion allows the sending
device to resume transmission.

7.2.2 Auto-CTS
Figure 6 shows CTS functional timing. The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before
sending the next data character. When CTS is active, the transmitter sends the next
character. To stop the transmitter from sending the following character, CTS must be
deasserted before the middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent. 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.
7.3 Software flow control
Software flow control is enabled through the Enhanced Features Register and the Modem
Control Register. Different combinations of software flow control can be enabled by setting
different combinations of EFR[3:0]. Table 3 shows software flow control options.
(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out.
(2) When CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current character, the transmitter finishes sending the current
character, but it does not send the next character.
(3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

NXP Semiconductors SC16IS752/SC16IS762
Dual UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR
There are two other enhanced features relating to software flow control:
Xon Any function (MCR[5]): Receiving any character will resume operation after
recognizing the Xoff character. It is possible that an Xon1 character is recognized as
an Xon Any character, which could cause an Xon2 character to be written to the
RX FIFO.
Special character (EFR[5]): Incoming data is compared to Xoff2. Detection of the
special character sets the Xoff interrupt (IIR[4]) but does not halt transmission. The
Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read of the Interrupt Identification Register (IIR). The
special character is transferred to the RX FIFO.
7.3.1 Receive flow control
When software flow control operation is enabled, the SC16IS752/SC16IS762 will
compare incoming data with Xoff1/Xoff2 programmed characters (in certain cases, Xoff1
and Xoff2 must be received sequentially). When the correct Xoff characters are received,
transmission is halted after completing transmission of the current character. Xoff
detection also sets IIR[4] (if enabled via IER[5]) and causes IRQ to go LOW.
To resume transmission, an Xon1/Xon2 character must be received (in certain cases
Xon1 and Xon2 must be received sequentially). When the correct Xon characters are
received, IIR[4] is cleared, and the Xoff interrupt disappears.
7.3.2 Transmit flow control
Xoff1/Xoff2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO has passed the halt trigger level
programmed in TCR[3:0], or the selectable trigger level in FCR[7:6].
Xon1/Xon2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO reaches the resume trigger level
programmed in TCR[7:4], or falls below the lower selectable trigger level in FCR[7:6].
The transmission of Xoff/Xon(s) follows the exact same protocol as transmission of an
ordinary character from the FIFO. This means that even if the word length is set to be 5, 6,
or 7 bits, then the 5, 6, or 7 least significant bits of Xoff1/Xoff2, Xon1/Xon2 will be
transmitted. (Note that the transmission of 5, 6, or 7 bits of a character is seldom done, but
this functionality is included to maintain compatibility with earlier designs.)
It is assumed that software flow control and hardware flow control will never be enabled
simultaneously. Figure 7 shows an example of software flow control.

These three reset methods are identical and will reset the internal registers as indicated in
Table 4.
Table 4 summarizes the state of register after reset.
Remark: Registers DLL, DLH, SPR, XON1, XON2, XOFF1, XOFF2 are not reset by the
top-level reset signal RESET, POR and Software Reset, that is, they hold their
initialization values during reset.

7.5 Interrupts
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 has interrupt generation and prioritization (seven prioritized
levels of interrupts) capability. The interrupt enable registers (IER and IOIntEna) enable
each of the seven types of interrupts and the IRQ signal in response to an interrupt
generation. When an interrupt is generated, the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending
and provides the type of interrupt through IIR[5:0]. Table 6 summarizes the interrupt
control functions.
It is important to note that for the framing error, parity error, and break conditions, Line
Status Register bit 7 (LSR[7]) generates the interrupt. LSR[7] is set when there is an error
anywhere in the RX FIFO, and is cleared only when there are no more errors remaining in
the FIFO. LSR[4:2] always represent the error status for the received character at the top
of the RX FIFO. Reading the RX FIFO updates LSR[4:2] to the appropriate status for the
new character at the top of the FIFO. If the RX FIFO is empty, then LSR[4:2] are all zeros.
For the Xoff interrupt, if an Xoff flow character detection caused the interrupt, the interrupt
is cleared by an Xon flow character detection. If a special character detection caused the
interrupt, the interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR.

7.5.1 Interrupt mode operation
In Interrupt mode (if any bit of IER[3:0] is 1) the host is informed of the status of the
receiver and transmitter by an interrupt signal, IRQ. Therefore, it is not necessary to
continuously poll the Line Status Register (LSR) to see if any interrupt needs to be
serviced. Figure 8 shows Interrupt mode operation.
7.5.2 Polled mode operation
In Polled mode (IER[3:0] = 0000) the status of the receiver and transmitter can be
checked by polling the Line Status Register (LSR). This mode is an alternative to the FIFO
Interrupt mode of operation where the status of the receiver and transmitter is
automatically known by means of interrupts sent to the CPU. Figure 9 shows FIFO Polled
mode operation.

7.6 Sleep mode
Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16IS752/SC16IS762 UART. It is enabled
when EFR[4], the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] is set. Sleep mode is
entered when:
The serial data input line, RX, is idle (see Section 7.7 “Break and time-out
conditions”).
The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.
There are no interrupts pending except THR.
Remark: Sleep mode will not be entered if there is data in the RX FIFO.
In Sleep mode, the clock to the UART is stopped. Since most registers are clocked using
these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced. The UART will wake up when any
change is detected on the RX line, when there is any change in the state of the modem
input pins, or if data is written to the TX FIFO.
Remark: Writing to the divisor latches DLL and DLH to set the baud clock must not be
done during Sleep mode. Therefore, it is advisable to disable Sleep mode using IER[4]
before writing to DLL or DLH.
7.7 Break and time-out conditions
When the UART receives a number of characters and these data are not enough to set off
the receive interrupt (because they do not reach the receive trigger level), the UART will
generate a time-out interrupt instead, 4 character times after the last character is
received. The time-out counter will be reset at the center of each stop bit received or each
time the receive FIFO is read.
A break condition is detected when the RX pin is pulled LOW for a duration longer than
the time it takes to send a complete character plus start, stop and parity bits. A break
condition can be sent by setting LCR[6], when this happens the TX pin will be pulled LOW
until LSR[6] is cleared by the software.
7.8 Programmable baud rate generator
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 UART contains a programmable baud rate generator that
takes any clock input and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 1). An
additional divide-by-4 prescaler is also available and can be selected by MCR[7], as
shown in Figure 10. The output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16 ×the baud rate.
The formula for the divisor is:
(1)
where:
prescaler = 1, when MCR[7] is set to logic 0 after reset (divide-by-1 clock selected)
prescaler = 4, when MCR[7] is set to logic 1 after reset (divide-by-4 clock selected).
Remark: The default value of prescaler after reset is divide-by-1.

Figure 10 shows the internal prescaler and baud rate generator circuitry.
DLL and DLH must be written to in order to program the baud rate. DLL and DLH are the
least significant and most significant byte of the baud rate divisor. If DLL and DLH are both
zero, the UART is effectively disabled, as no baud clock will be generated.
Remark: The programmable baud rate generator is provided to select both the transmit
and receive clock rates.
Table 7 and Table 8 show the baud rate and divisor correlation for crystal with frequency
1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz, respectively.

Dual UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR
8.1 Receive Holding Register (RHR)
The receiver section consists of the Receive Holding Register (RHR) and the Receive
Shift Register (RSR). The RHR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The RSR receives serial data
from the RX terminal. The data is converted to parallel data and moved to the RHR. The
receiver section is controlled by the Line Control Register. If the FIFO is disabled, location
zero of the FIFO is used to store the characters.
8.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR)
The transmitter section consists of the Transmit Holding Register (THR) and the Transmit
Shift Register (TSR). The THR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The THR receives data and
shifts it into the TSR, where it is converted to serial data and moved out on the TX
terminal. If the FIFO is disabled, location zero of the FIFO is used to store the byte.
Characters are lost if overflow occurs.
8.3 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupt, receiver
error, RHR interrupt, THR interrupt, Modem Status, Xoff received, or CTS/RTS change of
state from LOW to HIGH. The IRQ output signal is activated in response to interrupt
generation. Table 11 shows Interrupt Enable Register bit settings.

[1] IER[7:4] can only be modified if EFR[4] is set, that is, EFR[4] is a write enable. Re-enabling IER[1] will not
cause a new interrupt if the THR is below the threshold.

This is a write-only register that is used for enabling the FIFOs, clearing the FIFOs, setting
transmitter and receiver trigger levels. Table 12 shows FIFO Control Register bit settings.

8.5 Interrupt Identification Register (IIR)
The IIR is a read-only 8-bit register which provides the source of the interrupt in a
prioritized manner. Table 13 shows Interrupt Identification Register bit settings.
[1] Modem interrupt status must be read via MSR register and GPIO interrupt status must be read via IOState
register.
8.6 Line Control Register (LCR)
This register controls the data communication format. The word length, number of stop
bits, and parity type are selected by writing the appropriate bits to the LCR. Table 15
shows the Line Control Register bit settings.

8.7 Modem Control Register (MCR)
The MCR controls the interface with the mode, data set, or peripheral device that is
emulating the modem. Table 19 shows Modem Control Register bit settings.
[1] MCR[7:5] and MCR[2] can only be modified when EFR[4] is set, that is, EFR[4] is a write enable.

8.8 Line Status Register (LSR)
Table 20 shows the Line Status Register bit settings.
When the LSR is read, LSR[4:2] reflect the error bits (BI, FE, PE) of the character at the
top of the RX FIFO (next character to be read). Therefore, errors in a character are
identified by reading the LSR and then reading the RHR.
LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO, and is cleared only when
there are no more errors remaining in the FIFO.

8.9 Modem Status Register (MSR)
This 8-bit register provides information about the current state of the control lines from the
modem, data set, or peripheral device to the host. It also indicates when a control input
from the modem changes state. Table 21 shows Modem Status Register bit settings per
channel.
Remark: The primary inputs RI, CD, CTS, DSR are all active LOW.
8.10 Scratchpad Register (SPR)
The SC16IS752/SC16IS762 provides a temporary data register to store 8 bits of user
information.

8.11 Transmission Control Register (TCR)
This 8-bit register is used to store the RX FIFO threshold levels to stop/start transmission
during hardware/software flow control. Table 22 shows Transmission Control Register bit
settings. If TCR bits are cleared, then selectable trigger levels in FCR are used in place of
TCR.
TCR trigger levels are available from 0 bytes to 60 characters with a granularity of four.
Remark: TCR can only be written to when EFR[4] = logic 1 and MCR[2] = logic 1. The
programmer must program the TCR such that TCR[3:0] > TCR[7:4]. There is no built-in
hardware check to make sure this condition is met. Also, the TCR must be programmed
with this condition before Auto-RTS or software flow control is enabled to avoid spurious
operation of the device.
8.12 Trigger Level Register (TLR)
This 8-bit register is used to store the transmit and received FIFO trigger levels used for
interrupt generation. Trigger levels from 4 to 60 can be programmed with a granularity
of four. Table 23 shows Trigger Level Register bit settings.
Remark: TLR can only be written to when EFR[4] = logic 1 and MCR[2] = logic 1. If
TLR[3:0] or TLR[7:4] are logical 0, the selectable trigger levels via the FIFO Control
Register (FCR) are used for the transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels. Trigger levels
from 4 characters to 60 characters are available with a granularity of four. The TLR should
be programmed for N4, where N is the desired trigger level.
When the trigger level setting in TLR is zero, the SC16IS752/SC16IS762 uses the trigger
level setting defined in FCR. If TLR has non-zero trigger level value, the trigger level
defined in FCR is discarded. This applies to both transmit FIFO and receive FIFO trigger
level setting.
When TLR is used for RX trigger level control, FCR[7:6] should be left at the default state
‘00’.

8.17 I/O Interrupt Enable register (IOIntEna)
This register enables the interrupt due to a change in the I/O configured as inputs. If
GPIO[7:4] or GPIO[3:0] are programmed as modem pins, their interrupt generation must
be enabled via IER[3]. In this case, IOIntEna will have no effect on GPIO[7:4] or
GPIO[3:0].
8.18 I/O Control register (IOControl)
Remark: As I/O pins, the direction, state, and interrupt enable of GPIO are controlled by
the following registers: IODir, IOState, IOIntEna, and IOControl. The state of CD, RI, DSR
pins will not be reflected in MSR[7:5] or MSR[3:1], and any change of state on these three
pins will not trigger a modem status interrupt (even if enabled via IER[3]), and the state of
the DTR pin cannot be controlled by MCR[0].
As modem CD, RI, DSR pins, the status at the input of these three pins can be read from
MSR[7:5] and MSR[3:1], and the state of the DTR pin can be controlled by MCR[0]. Also,
if modem status interrupt bit is enabled, IER[3], a change of state on RI, CD, DSR pins will
trigger a modem interrupt. The IODir, IOState, and IOIntEna registers will not have any
effect on these three pins.

0 = input value are not latched. A change in any input generates an

goes back to its initial logic state before the input register is read,
then the interrupt is cleared.
1 = input values are latched. A change in the input generates an
interrupt and the input logic value is loaded in the bit of the
corresponding input state register (IOState). A read of the IOState
register clears the interrupt. If the input pin goes back to its initial
logic state before the interrupt register is read, then the interrupt is
not cleared and the corresponding bit of the IOState register keeps
the logic value that initiates the interrupt.

8.21 Enhanced Features Register (EFR)
This 8-bit register enables or disables the enhanced features of the UART. Table 31 shows
the Enhanced Features Register bit settings.
9. RS-485 features
9.1 Auto RS-485 RTS control
Normally the RTS pin is controlled by MCR bit 1, or if hardware flow control is enabled, the
logic state of the RTS pin is controlled by the hardware flow control circuitry. EFCR
register bit 4 will take the precedence over the other two modes; once this bit is set, the
transmitter will control the state of the RTS pin. The transmitter automatically asserts the
RTS pin (logic 0) once the host writes data to the transmit FIFO, and deasserts RTS pin
(logic 1) once the last bit of the data has been transmitted.
To use the auto RS-485 RTS mode the software would have to disable the hardware flow
control function.
9.2 RS-485 RTS output inversion
EFCR bit 5 reverses the polarity of the RTS pin if the UART is in auto RS-485 RTS mode.
When the transmitter has data to be sent it deasserts the RTS pin (logic 1), and when the
last bit of the data has been sent out the transmitter asserts the RTS pin (logic 0).

9.3 Auto RS-485
EFCR bit 0 is used to enable the RS-485 mode (multidrop or 9-bit mode). In this mode of
operation, a ‘master’ station transmits an address character followed by data characters
for the addressed ‘slave’ stations. The slave stations examine the received data and
interrupt the controller if the received character is an address character (parity bit = 1).
To use the auto RS-485 RTS mode the software would have to disable the hardware flow
control function.
9.3.1 Normal multidrop mode
The 9-bit mode in EFCR (bit 0) is enabled, but not Special Character Detect (EFR bit 5).
The receiver is set to Force Parity 0 (LCR[5:3] = 111) in order to detect address bytes.
With the receiver initially disabled, it ignores all the data bytes (parity bit = 0) until an
address byte is received (parity bit = 1). This address byte will cause the UART to set the
parity error. The UART will generate a line status interrupt (IER bit 2 must be set to ‘1’ at
this time), and at the same time puts this address byte in the RX FIFO. After the controller
examines the byte it must make a decision whether or not to enable the receiver; it should
enable the receiver if the address byte addresses its ID address, and must not enable the
receiver if the address byte does not address its ID address.
If the controller enables the receiver, the receiver will receive the subsequent data until
being disabled by the controller after the controller has received a complete message from
the ‘master’ station. If the controller does not disable the receiver after receiving a
message from the ‘master’ station, the receiver will generate a parity error upon receiving
another address byte. The controller then determines if the address byte addresses its ID
address, if it is not, the controller then can disable the receiver. If the address byte
addresses the ‘slave’ ID address, the controller take no further action; the receiver will
receive the subsequent data.
9.3.2 Auto address detection
If Special Character Detect is enabled (EFR[5] is set and XOFF2 contains the address
byte) the receiver will try to detect an address byte that matches the programmed
character in XOFF2. If the received byte is a data byte or an address byte that does not
match the programmed character in XOFF2, the receiver will discard these data. Upon
receiving an address byte that matches the XOFF2 character, the receiver will be
automatically enabled if not already enabled, and the address character is pushed into the
RX FIFO along with the parity bit (in place of the parity error bit). The receiver also
generates a line status interrupt (IER bit 2 must be set to 1 at this time). The receiver will
then receive the subsequent data from the ‘master’ station until being disabled by the
controller after having received a message from the ‘master’ station.
If another address byte is received and this address byte does not match XOFF2
character, the receiver will be automatically disabled and the address byte is ignored. If
the address byte matches XOFF2 character, the receiver will put this byte in the RX FIFO
along with the parity bit in the parity error bit (LSR[2]).

The two lines of the I2C-bus are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both
lines are connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor, and remain HIGH when the
bus is not busy. Each device is recognized by a unique address whether it is a
microcomputer, LCD driver, memory or keyboard interface and can operate as either a
transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of the device. A device generating a
message or data is a transmitter, and a device receiving the message or data is a
receiver. Obviously, a passive function like an LCD driver could only be a receiver, while a
microcontroller or a memory can both transmit and receive data.
10.1 Data transfers
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse (see Figure 12). The data on the SDA
line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse in order to be valid.
Changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as control signals. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock signal (SCL) is HIGH indicates a START
condition, and a LOW-to-HIGH transition of the SDA while SCL is HIGH defines a STOP
condition (see Figure 13). The bus is considered to be busy after the START condition and
free again at a certain time interval after the STOP condition. The START and STOP
conditions are always generated by the master.
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP condition from
transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte, which must be eight bits long, is
transferred serially with the most significant bit first, and is followed by an acknowledge bit
(see Figure 14). The clock pulse related to the acknowledge bit is generated by the
master. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the
acknowledge clock pulse, while the transmitting device releases this pulse (see
Figure 15).

A slave receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte, and a
master must generate one after the reception of each byte clocked out of the slave
transmitter. When designing a system, it is necessary to take into account cases when
acknowledge is not received. This happens, for example, when the addressed device is
busy in a real-time operation. In such a case the master, after an appropriate ‘time-out’,
should abort the transfer by generating a STOP condition, allowing other transfers to take
place. These ‘other transfers’ could be initiated by other masters in a multimaster system,
or by this same master.
There are two exceptions to the ‘acknowledge after every byte’ rule. The first occurs when
a master is a receiver: it must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not signalling an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. The acknowledge
related clock generated by the master should still take place, but the SDA line will not be
pulled down. In order to indicate that this is an active and intentional lack of
acknowledgement, we shall term this special condition as a ‘negative acknowledge’.
The second exception is that a slave will send a negative acknowledge when it can no
longer accept additional data bytes. This occurs after an attempted transfer that cannot be
accepted.

10.2 Addressing and transfer formats
Each device on the bus has its own unique address. Before any data is transmitted on the
bus, the master transmits on the bus the address of the slave to be accessed for this
transaction. A well-behaved slave with a matching address, if it exists on the network,
should of course acknowledge the master's addressing. The addressing is done by the
first byte transmitted by the master after the START condition.
An address on the network is seven bits long, appearing as the most significant bits of the
address byte. The last bit is a direction (R/W) bit. A zero indicates that the master is
transmitting (‘write’) and a one indicates that the master requests data (‘read’). A complete
data transfer, comprised of an address byte indicating a ‘write’ and two data bytes is
shown in Figure 16.
When an address is sent, each device in the system compares the first seven bits after the
START with its own address. If there is a match, the device will consider itself addressed
by the master, and will send an acknowledge. The device could also determine if in this
transaction it is assigned the role of a slave receiver or slave transmitter, depending on the
R/W bit.
Each node of the I2C-bus network has a unique seven-bit address. The address of a
microcontroller is of course fully programmable, while peripheral devices usually have
fixed and programmable address portions.
When the master is communicating with one device only, data transfers follow the format
of Figure 16, where the R/W bit could indicate either direction. After completing the
transfer and issuing a STOP condition, if a master would like to address some other
device on the network, it could start another transaction by issuing a new START.
Another way for a master to communicate with several different devices would be by using
a ‘Repeated START’. After the last byte of the transaction was transferred, including its
acknowledge (or negative acknowledge), the master issues another START, followed by
address byte and data without effecting a STOP. The master may communicate with a
number of different devices, combining ‘reads’ and ‘writes’. After the last transfer takes
place, the master issues a STOP and releases the bus. Possible data formats are
demonstrated in Figure 17. Note that the repeated START allows for both change of a
slave and a change of direction, without releasing the bus. We shall see later on that the
change of direction feature can come in handy even when dealing with a single device.

In a single master system, the ‘Repeated START’ mechanism may be more efficient than
terminating each transfer with a STOP and starting again. In a multimaster environment,
the determination of which format is more efficient could be more complicated, as when a
master is using repeated STARTs occupies the bus for a long time, and thus preventing
other devices from initiating transfers.

10.3 Addressing
Before any data is transmitted or received, the master must send the address of the
receiver via the SDA line. The first byte after the START condition carries the address of
the slave device and the read/write bit. Table 32 shows how the SC16IS752/SC16IS762’s
address can be selected by using A1 and A0 pins. For example, if these 2 pins are
connected to VDD, then the SC16IS752/SC16IS762’s address is set to 0x90, and the
master communicates with it through this address.
[1] X = logic 0 for write cycle; X = logic 1 for read cycle.
10.4 Use of subaddresses
When a master communicates with the SC16IS752/SC16IS762 it must send a
subaddress in the byte following the slave address byte. This subaddress is the internal
address of the word the master wants to access for a single byte transfer, or the beginning
of a sequence of locations for a multi-byte transfer. A subaddress is an 8-bit byte. Unlike
the device address, it does not contain a direction (R/W) bit, and like any byte transferred
on the bus it must be followed by an acknowledge.
A register write cycle is shown in Figure 18. The START is followed by a slave address
byte with the direction bit set to ‘write’, a subaddress byte, a number of data bytes, and a
STOP signal. The subaddress indicates which register the master wants to access, and
the data bytes which follow will be written one after the other to the subaddress location.
Table 33 and Table 34 show the bits’ presentation at the subaddress byte for I2C-bus and
SPI interfaces. Bit 0 is not used, bits 2:1 select the channel, bits 6:3 select one of the
UART internal registers. Bit 7 is not used with the I2C-bus interface, but it is used by the
SPI interface to indicate a read or a write operation.

The register read cycle (see Figure 19) commences in a similar manner, with the master
sending a slave address with the direction bit set to WRITE with a following subaddress.
Then, in order to reverse the direction of the transfer, the master issues a Repeated
START followed again by the device address, but this time with the direction bit set to
READ. The data bytes starting at the internal subaddress will be clocked out of the device,
each followed by a master-generated acknowledge. The last byte of the read cycle will be
followed by a negative acknowledge, signalling the end of transfer. The cycle is terminated
by a STOP signal.

16. Handling information
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling.
However, to be completely safe you must take normal precautions appropriate to handling
integrated circuits.
17. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”
.
17.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
17.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
17.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:

NXP Semiconductors SC16IS752/SC16IS762
Dual UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, 64-byte FIFOs, IrDA SIR
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities
17.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 39) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 40 and 41
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 39.
