Product Overview: SC16IS850LIBS,157 - NXP

The SC16IS850LIBS,157 is a state-of-the-art integrated circuit designed and manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, a leader in the field of advanced secure connectivity solutions. This particular IC is a part of the SC16IS850 series and serves as a bridge between a standard I2C-bus of a microcontroller and the serial port, allowing the microcontroller through its I2C-bus to communicate with serial devices.

Key Features

• Interface: The device provides a simple and efficient interface solution by converting data between the I2C-bus and two independent UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter).
• High-Speed I2C Interface: It operates on the I2C-bus with speeds up to 3.4 Mbit/s, offering high-speed communication with the host system.
• Auto Hardware Flow Control: With its built-in hardware flow control, the SC16IS850LIBS,157 ensures reliable data transfer and prevents data loss even in high-speed operation.
• Programmable Baud Rate: The baud rate is programmable and supports a wide range of speeds to accommodate various communication requirements.
• 64-byte FIFO: Each UART is equipped with a 64-byte FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer to enhance data throughput and reduce CPU load.
• RS-485 Support: The device also includes support for RS-485 serial protocol, which is commonly used in industrial environments.
• Low Power Consumption: It is designed for low-power operation, making it suitable for battery-powered and portable applications.
