TL16C550CFNR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum baud rate supported by the TL16C550CFNR?
  The TL16C550CFNR supports baud rates up to 1.5 Mbps.
• How do I configure the TL16C550CFNR for 9-bit data transmission?
  To configure the TL16C550CFNR for 9-bit data transmission, set the MCR register to enable 9-bit mode and set the word length to 9 bits using the LCR register.
• What is the purpose of the FIFO buffers in the TL16C550CFNR?
  The FIFO buffers in the TL16C550CFNR are used to store received data and reduce the likelihood of data loss due to interrupts or other processing delays.
• How do I handle flow control using the TL16C550CFNR?
  The TL16C550CFNR supports hardware flow control using RTS and CTS signals. To enable flow control, set the MCR register to enable RTS and CTS, and configure the FIFO trigger levels to control data transmission.
• What is the power consumption of the TL16C550CFNR?
  The power consumption of the TL16C550CFNR depends on the operating frequency and voltage supply. Typically, the power consumption is around 10-20 mA at 3.3V and 1.5 Mbps.
