- Capable of running all existing 16450 software
- Fully Synchronous design. All inputs and outputs are based on the rising edge of clock
- Adds or deletes standard asynchronous communication bits (start, stop and parity) to or from the serial data
- Independently controlled transmit, receive, line status and data set interrupts
- Programmable baud generator divides any input clock by 1 to (2**16 - 1) and generates the 16 x clock
- Modem control functions (CTSn, RTSn, DSRn, DTRn, RIn, and DCDn)
- Fully programmable serial interface characteristics:
- 5, 6, 7, or 8 bit characters
- Even, odd, or no-parity bit generation and detection
- 1, 1½, or 2 stop bit generation
- Baud generation
- False start bit detection
- Complete status register
- Internal diagnostic capabilities: loopback controls for communications link fault isolation
- Full prioritized interrupt system controls
UART IP Core H16450S Synchronous 16450 UART Core
The H16450S is a standard UART providing 100% software compatibility with the popular Texas Instruments 16450 device. It performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data originating from modems or other serial devices, and performs parallel-to-serial conversion on data from a CPU to these devices.
Developed for easy reuse in ASIC and FPGA applications, the H16450S is available optimized for several technologies with competitive utilization and performance characteristics.
