TL16C752BTPTREP datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL16C752BTPTREP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency for the UART?
  The maximum clock frequency for the UART is 24 MHz, but it can operate up to 50 MHz in asynchronous mode.
• How do I configure the FIFO trigger levels?
  The FIFO trigger levels can be configured using the FIFO Control Register (FCR). The trigger levels can be set to 1, 4, 8, or 14 characters.
• What is the purpose of the XOFF and XON characters?
  The XOFF (DC3) and XON (DC1) characters are used for software flow control. XOFF pauses transmission, and XON resumes transmission.
• How do I handle errors and exceptions in the UART?
  The UART has built-in error detection and correction mechanisms, including parity, framing, and overrun error detection. The error status can be checked using the Line Status Register (LSR).
• Can I use the UART in synchronous mode?
  Yes, the TL16C752BTPTREP can operate in synchronous mode, but it requires an external clock source and a synchronous mode enable bit set in the Mode Register (MCR).
