ST16C552CJ68TR-F

ST16C552CJ68TR-F is a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) IC manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is a low-voltage device that is capable of operating with voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. It supports data rates of up to 9.6Kbps, making it an ideal choice for applications where low-speed and low-power requirements must be met.

The ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART is a highly integrated device that includes many features, including a multi-function transmitter and receiver, full-duplex and half-duplex support, automatic flow control, HSI (Hardware State Indicator) and a 16- to 32-bit register-based memory system. It also has a built-in UART translator that automatically converts serial data into parallel format for communication with other peripherals. The device supports up to four sets of registers, making it ideal for applications that require multiple streams of data to be communicated simultaneously.

The ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART has many potential application fields. One such application is in medical instruments where UARTs are used to communicate with various sensors, motors and other peripherals. In such applications, the ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART can be used to monitor the system conditions and operate the equipment accordingly. Similarly, in consumer electronics, the device can be used to communicate with various display and audio peripherals. Additionally, the UART can be used in industrial and automotive control systems to communicate with sensors, actuators and other periphery.

The ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART also helps extend and simplify communication between microcontrollers and a host system. The UART helps in handling communication protocols between devices and provides support for data transfer over serial busses. The device also helps in extending convenience to users by interfacing with an external device that supports the UART protocol.

The ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART is a halfduplex device where the same pins are used for both transmission and reception, hence the term ‘halfduplex’. A transmitter can be connected to the UART to form a complete UART link. The transmitter sends data serially to the UART, and the UART then holds the data in its internal register, while the receiver receives the data. The receiver needs to read the data, process it and then send it back to the transmitter. The communication between the transmitter and receiver is governed by the protocol defined by the UART.

In summary, the ST16C552CJ68TR-F UART is a highly integrated and low-voltage UART IC, capable of operating at data rates up to 9.6Kbps. It is an ideal device for applications that require low-speed and low-power requirements. The device has a wide range of application fields including medical instruments, consumer electronics, industrial control systems and automotive control systems. Furthermore, it helps extend and simplify the communication between microcontrollers and the host system. Finally, it is a half-duplex device capable of both transmitting and receiving data.
