SC16C554B/554DB  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte  
FIFOs  
Rev. 4 — 8 June 2010  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The SC16C554B/554DB is a 4-channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver and  
Transmitter (QUART) used for serial data communications. Its principal function is to  
convert parallel data into serial data and vice versa. The UART can handle serial data  
rates up to 5 Mbit/s. It comes with an Intel (16 mode) or Motorola (68 mode) interface.  
The SC16C554B/554DB is pin compatible with the ST16C554 and TL16C554 and it will  
power-up to be functionally equivalent to the 16C454. Programming of control registers  
enables the added features of the SC16C554B/554DB. Some of these added features are  
the 16-byte receive and transmit FIFOs, four receive trigger levels. The  
SC16C554B/554DB also provides DMA mode data transfers through FIFO trigger levels  
and the TXRDY and RXRDY signals. (TXRDY and RXRDY signals are not available in the  
HVQFN48 package.) On-board status registers provide the user with error indications,  
operational status, and modem interface control. System interrupts may be tailored to  
meet user requirements. An internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics.  
The SC16C554B/554DB operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V, and the industrial temperature  
range, and is available in plastic PLCC68, LQFP64, LQFP80, and HVQFN48 packages.  
On the HVQFN48 package only, channel C has all the modem pins. Channels A and B  
have only RTSn and CTSn pins and channel D does not have any modem pin.

16/68 Interface type select (input with internal  
pull-up). This input provides the 16 (Intel) or 68  
(Motorola) bus interface type select. The functions of  
IOR, IOW, INTA to INTD, and CSA to CSD are  
re-assigned with the logic state of this pin. When this  
pin is a logic 1, the 16 mode interface (16C554) is  
selected. When this pin is a logic 0, the 68 mode  
interface (68C554) is selected. When this pin is a  
logic 0, IOW is re-assigned to R/W, RESET is  
re-assigned to RESET, IOR is not used, and  
INTA to INTD are connected in a wire-OR configuration.  
The wire-OR outputs are connected internally to the  
open-drain IRQ signal output. This pin is not available  
on 64-pin packages which operate in the 16 mode only.

Chip Select A, B, C, D (active LOW). This function is  
associated with the 16 mode only, and for individual  
channels ‘A’ through ‘D’. When in 16 mode, these pins  
enable data transfers between the user CPU and the  
SC16C554B/554DB for the channel(s) addressed.  
Individual UART sections (A, B, C, D) are addressed by  
providing a logic 0 on the respective CSA to CSD pin.  
When the 68 mode is selected, the functions of these  
pins are re-assigned. 68 mode functions are described  
under their respective name/pin headings.

Interrupt Select (active HIGH, with internal  
pull-down). This function is associated with the  
16 mode only. When the 16 mode is selected, this pin  
can be used in conjunction with MCR[3] to enable or  
disable the 3-state interrupts, INTA to INTD, or override  
MCR[3] and force continuous interrupts. Interrupt  
outputs are enabled continuously by making this pin a  
logic 1. Making this pin a logic 0 allows MCR[3] to  
control the 3-state interrupt output. In this mode,  
MCR[3] is set to a logic 1 to enable the 3-state outputs.  
This pin is disabled in the 68 mode. Due to pin  
limitations on the 64-pin packages, this pin is not  
available. To cover this limitation, the  
SC16C554DBIB64 version operates in the continuous  
interrupt enable mode by bonding this pin to VCC  
internally. The SC16C554BIB64 operates with MCR[3]  
control by bonding this pin to GND. The INTSEL pin is  
not available on the HVQFN48 package.

SC16C554B/554DB  
NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
6. Functional description  
The SC16C554B/554DB provides serial asynchronous receive data synchronization,  
parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversions for both the transmitter and  
receiver sections. These functions are necessary for converting the serial data stream into  
parallel data that is required with digital data systems. Synchronization for the serial data  
stream is accomplished by adding start and stop bits to the transmit data to form a data  
character. Data integrity is insured by attaching a parity bit to the data character. The  
parity bit is checked by the receiver for any transmission bit errors. The electronic circuitry  
to provide all these functions is fairly complex, especially when manufactured on a single  
integrated silicon chip. The SC16C554B/554DB represents such an integration with  
greatly enhanced features. The SC16C554B/554DB is fabricated with an advanced  
CMOS process to achieve low drain power and high speed requirements.  
The SC16C554B/554DB is an upward solution that provides 16 bytes of transmit and  
receive FIFO memory, instead of none in the 16C454. The SC16C554B/554DB is  
designed to work with high speed modems and shared network environments that require  
fast data processing time. Increased performance is realized in the SC16C554B/554DB  
by the larger transmit and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle  
more networking tasks within a given time. In addition, the four selectable levels of FIFO  
trigger interrupt is uniquely provided for maximum data throughput performance,  
especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The combination of the above  
greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU, increases  
performance, and reduces power consumption.  
The SC16C554B/554DBAI68 combines the package interface modes of the 16C454/554  
and 68C454/554 series on a single integrated chip. The 16 mode interface is designed to  
operate with the Intel-type of microprocessor bus, while the 68 mode is intended to  
operate with Motorola and other popular microprocessors. Following a reset, the  
SC16C554B/554DBAI68 is downward compatible with the 16C454/554 or the  
68C454/554, dependent on the state of the interface mode selection pin, 16/68.  
The SC16C554B/554DB is capable of operation to 1.5 Mbit/s with a 24 MHz crystal and  
up to 5 Mbit/s with an external clock input (at 3.3 V and 5 V; at 2.5 V the maximum speed  
is 3 Mbit/s).  
The rich feature set of the SC16C554B/554DB is available through internal registers.  
Selectable receive FIFO trigger levels, selectable transmit and receive baud rates, and  
modem interface controls are all standard features. In the 16 mode, INTSEL and MCR[3]  
can be configured to provide a software controlled or continuous interrupt capability. Due  
to pin limitations of the 64-pin package, this feature is offered by two different LQFP64  
packages. The SC16C554DB operates in the continuous interrupt enable mode by  
bonding INTSEL to VCC internally. The SC16C554B operates in conjunction with MCR[3]  
by bonding INTSEL to GND internally.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
6.1 Interface options  
Two user interface modes are selectable for the PLCC68 package. These interface  
modes are designated as the ‘16 mode’ and the ‘68 mode’. This nomenclature  
corresponds to the early 16C454/554 and 68C454/554 package interfaces respectively.  
6.1.1 The 16 mode interface  
The 16 mode configures the package interface pins for connection as a standard  
16 series (Intel) device and operates similar to the standard CPU interface available on  
the 16C454/554. In the 16 mode (pin 16/68 = logic 1), each UART is selected with  
individual chip select (CSn) pins, as shown in Table 3.

6.1.2 The 68 mode interface  
The 68 mode configures the package interface pins for connection with Motorola, and  
other popular microprocessor bus types. The interface operates similar to the  
68C454/554. In this mode, the SC16C554B/554DB decodes two additional addresses,  
A3 to A4, to select one of the four UART ports. The A3 to A4 address decode function is  
used only when in the 68 mode (16/68 = logic 0), and is shown in Table 4.

6.2 Internal registers  
The SC16C554B/554DB provides 12 internal registers for monitoring and control. These  
registers are shown in Table 5. These registers function as data holding registers  
(THR/RHR), interrupt status and control registers (IER/ISR), a FIFO Control Register  
(FCR), line status and control registers (LCR/LSR), modem status and control registers  
(MCR/MSR), programmable data rate (clock) control registers (DLL/DLM), and a user  
accessible Scratchpad Register (SPR). Register functions are more fully described in the  
following paragraphs.

The 16 byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register  
(FCR) bit 0. With SC16C554B devices, the user can set the receive trigger level, but not  
the transmit trigger level. The receiver FIFO section includes a time-out function to ensure  
data is delivered to the external CPU. An interrupt is generated whenever the Receive  
Holding Register (RHR) has not been read following the loading of a character or the  
receive trigger level has not been reached.

6.4 Autoflow control (see Figure 9)  
Autoflow control is comprised of auto-CTS and auto-RTS. With auto-CTS, the CTS input  
must be active before the transmitter FIFO can emit data. With auto-RTS, RTS becomes  
active when the receiver needs more data and notifies the sending serial device. When  
RTS is connected to CTS, data transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has  
space for the data; thus, overrun errors are eliminated using UART 1 and UART 2 from a  
SC16C554B/554DB with the autoflow control enabled. If not, overrun errors occur when  
the transmit data rate exceeds the receiver FIFO read latency.

Fig 9. Autoflow control (auto-RTS and auto-CTS) example  
6.4.1 Auto-RTS (see Figure 9)  
Auto-RTS data flow control originates in the receiver timing and control block (see block  
diagrams in Figure 1 and Figure 2) and is linked to the programmed receiver FIFO trigger  
level. When the receiver FIFO level reaches a trigger level of 1, 4, or 8 (see Figure 11),  
RTS is de-asserted. With trigger levels of 1, 4, and 8, the sending UART may send an  
additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another  
byte to send) because it may not recognize the de-assertion of RTS until after it has  
begun sending the additional byte. RTS is automatically reasserted once the RX FIFO is  
emptied by reading the receiver buffer register. When the trigger level is 14 (see  
Figure 12), RTS is de-asserted after the first data bit of the 16th character is present on  
the RX line. RTS is reasserted when the RX FIFO has at least one available byte space.  
Remark: Auto-RTS is not supported in channel D of the HVQFN48 package, therefore  
MCR[5] of channel D should not be written.  
6.4.2 Auto-CTS (see Figure 9)  
The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte. When CTS is  
active, it sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the following byte, CTS  
must be released before the middle of the last stop bit that is currently being sent (see  
Figure 10). The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host system. When flow  
control is enabled, CTS level changes do not trigger host interrupts because the device  
automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends any  
data present in the transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error may result.

(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out.  
(2) If CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current byte, the transmitter finishes sending the current byte, but  
is does not send the next byte.  
(3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

(2) RTS is asserted again when there is at least one byte of space available and no incoming byte is in processing, or there is more  
than one byte of space available.  
(3) When the receive FIFO is full, the first receive buffer register read re-asserts RTS.

6.5 Hardware/software and time-out interrupts  
Following a reset, if the transmitter interrupt is enabled, the SC16C554B/554DB will issue  
an interrupt to indicate that the Transmit Holding Register is empty. This interrupt must be  
serviced prior to continuing operations. The LSR register provides the current singular  
highest priority interrupt only. Only after servicing the higher pending interrupt will the  
lower priority interrupt(s) be reflected in the status register. Servicing the interrupt without  
investigating further interrupt conditions can result in data errors.  
When two interrupt conditions have the same priority, it is important to service these  
interrupts correctly. Receive Data Ready and Receive Time-Out have the same interrupt  
priority (when enabled by IER[0]). The receiver issues an interrupt after the number of  
characters have reached the programmed trigger level. In this case, the  
SC16C554B/554DB FIFO may hold more characters than the programmed trigger level.  
Following the removal of a data byte, the user should re-check LSR[0] for additional  
characters. A Receive Time-Out will not occur if the receive FIFO is empty. The time-out  
counter is reset at the center of each stop bit received or each time the Receive Holding  
Register (RHR) is read. The actual time-out value is 4 character time.  
In the 16 mode for the PLCC68 package, the system/board designer can optionally  
provide software controlled 3-state interrupt operation. This is accomplished by INTSEL  
and MCR[3]. When INTSEL interface pin is left open or made a logic 0, MCR[3] controls  
the 3-state interrupt outputs, INTA to INTD. When INTSEL is a logic 1, MCR[3] has no  
effect on the INTA to INTD outputs, and the package operates with interrupt outputs  
enabled continuously.  
6.6 Programmable baud rate generator  
The SC16C554B/554DB supports high speed modem technologies that have increased  
input data rates by employing data compression schemes. For example, a 33.6 kbit/s  
modem that employs data compression may require a 115.2 kbit/s input data rate.  
A 128.0 kbit/s ISDN modem that supports data compression may need an input data rate  
of 460.8 kbit/s.

NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing  
independent TX/RX channel control. The programmable Baud Rate Generator is capable  
of accepting an input clock up to 80 MHz (for 3.3 V and 5 V operation), as required for  
supporting a 5 Mbit/s data rate. The SC16C554B/554DB can be configured for internal or  
external clock operation. For internal clock oscillator operation, an industry standard  
microprocessor crystal (parallel resonant/22 pF to 33 pF load) is connected externally  
between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins (see Figure 13). Alternatively, an external clock can  
be connected to the XTAL1 pin to clock the internal baud rate generator for standard or  
custom rates (see Table 8).

NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
6.7 DMA operation  
The SC16C554B/554DB FIFO trigger level provides additional flexibility to the user for  
block mode operation. LSR[6:5] provide an indication when the transmitter is empty or has  
an empty location(s). The user can optionally operate the transmit and receive FIFOs in  
the DMA mode (FCR[3]). When the transmit and receive FIFOs are enabled and the DMA  
mode is de-activated (DMA Mode 0), the SC16C554B/554DB activates the interrupt  
output pin for each data transmit or receive operation. When DMA mode is activated  
(DMA Mode 1), the user takes the advantage of block mode operation by loading or  
unloading the FIFO in a block sequence determined by the preset trigger level. In this  
mode, the SC16C554B/554DB sets the interrupt output pin when the characters in the  
receive FIFOs are above the receive trigger level.  
Remark: DMA operation is not supported in the HVQFN48 package.  
6.8 Loopback mode  
The internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. In the Loopback mode, the  
normal modem interface pins are disconnected and reconfigured for loopback internally.  
MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing. In the  
Loopback mode, OP2 and OP1 in the MCR register (bits 3:2) control the modem RI and  
CD inputs, respectively. MCR signals RTS and DTR (bits 1:0) are used to control the  
modem CTS and DSR inputs, respectively. The transmitter output (TX) and the receiver  
input (RX) are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are  
connected together internally (see Figure 14). The CTS, DSR, CD, and RI are  
disconnected from their normal modem control input pins, and instead are connected  
internally to RTS, DTR, OP2 and OP1. Loopback test data is entered into the Transmit  
Holding Register via the user data bus interface, D0 to D7. The transmit UART serializes  
the data and passes the serial data to the receive UART via the internal loopback  
connection. The receive UART converts the serial data back into parallel data that is then  
made available at the user data interface D0 to D7. The user optionally compares the  
received data to the initial transmitted data for verifying error-free operation of the UART  
TX/RX circuits.  
In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The Modem  
Control Interrupts are also operational. However, the interrupts can only be read using  
lower four bits of the Modem Status Register (MSR[3:0]) instead of the four Modem Status  
Register bits 7:4. The interrupts are still controlled by the IER.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
7.1 Transmit Holding Register (THR) and Receive Holding Register (RHR)  
The serial transmitter section consists of an 8-bit Transmit Hold Register (THR) and  
Transmit Shift Register (TSR). The status of the THR is provided in the Line Status  
Register (LSR). Writing to the THR transfers the contents of the data bus (D7 to D0) to the  
THR, providing that the THR or TSR is empty. The THR empty flag in the LSR register will  
be set to a logic 1 when the transmitter is empty or when data is transferred to the TSR.  
Note that a write operation can be performed when the THR empty flag is set  
(logic 0 = FIFO full; logic 1 = at least one FIFO location available).  
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR).  
Receive data is removed from the SC16C554B/554DB and receive FIFO by reading the  
RHR register. The receive section provides a mechanism to prevent false starts. On the  
falling edge of a start or false start bit, an internal receiver counter starts counting clocks at  
the 16× clock rate. After 712 clocks, the start bit time should be shifted to the center of the  
start bit. At this time the start bit is sampled, and if it is still a logic 0 it is validated.  
Evaluating the start bit in this manner prevents the receiver from assembling a false  
character. Receiver status codes will be posted in the LSR.  
7.2 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)  
The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) masks the interrupts from receiver ready, transmitter  
empty, line status and modem status registers. These interrupts would normally be seen  
on the INTA to INTD output pins in the 16 mode, or on wire-OR IRQ output pin in the  
68 mode.

NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 16-byte FIFOs  
7.2.1 IER versus Receive FIFO interrupt mode operation  
When the receive FIFO (FCR[0] = logic 1), and receive interrupts (IER[0] = logic 1) are  
enabled, the receive interrupts and register status will reflect the following:  
The receive data available interrupts are issued to the external CPU when the FIFO  
has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared when the FIFO drops  
below the programmed trigger level.  
FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when the FIFO  
trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register status bit and the interrupt will be  
cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
The data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from the shift  
register to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.  
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation  
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[3:0] enables the SC16C554B/554DB in the FIFO  
polled mode of operation. Since the receiver and transmitter have separate bits in the  
LSR, either or both can be used in the polled mode by selecting respective transmit or  
receive control bit(s).  
LSR[0] will be a logic 1 as long as there is one byte in the receive FIFO.  
LSR[4:1] will provide the type of errors encountered, if any.  
LSR[5] will indicate when the transmit FIFO is empty.  
LSR[6] will indicate when both the transmit FIFO and Transmit Shift Register are  
empty.  
LSR[7] will indicate any FIFO data errors.  
7.3 FIFO Control Register (FCR)  
This register is used to enable the FIFOs, clear the FIFOs, set the receive FIFO trigger  
levels, and select the DMA mode.  
7.3.1 DMA mode  
7.3.1.1 Mode 0 (FCR bit 3 = 0)  
Set and enable the interrupt for each single transmit or receive operation, and is similar to  
the 16C454 mode. Transmit Ready (TXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever an empty  
transmit space is available in the Transmit Holding Register (THR). Receive Ready  
(RXRDY) will go to a logic 0 whenever the Receive Holding Register (RHR) is loaded with  
a character.  
7.3.1.2 Mode 1 (FCR bit 3 = 1)  
Set and enable the interrupt in a block mode operation. The transmit interrupt is set when  
there are one or more FIFO locations empty. The receive interrupt is set when the receive  
FIFO fills to the programmed trigger level. However, the FIFO continues to fill regardless  
of the programmed level until the FIFO is full. RXRDY remains a logic 0 as long as the  
FIFO fill level is above the programmed trigger level.

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)  
The SC16C554B/554DB provides four levels of prioritized interrupts to minimize external  
software interaction. The Interrupt Status Register (ISR) provides the user with four  
interrupt status bits. Performing a read cycle on the ISR will provide the user with the  
highest pending interrupt level to be serviced. No other interrupts are acknowledged until  
the pending interrupt is serviced. Whenever the Interrupt Status Register is read, the  
interrupt status is cleared. However, it should be noted that only the current pending  
interrupt is cleared by the read. A lower level interrupt may be seen after re-reading the  
interrupt status bits. Table 13 “Interrupt source” shows the data values (bits 0 to 5) for the  
four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources associated with each of these  
interrupt levels.

7.5 Line Control Register (LCR)  
The Line Control Register is used to specify the asynchronous data communication  
format. The word length, the number of stop bits, and the parity are selected by writing the  
appropriate bits in this register.

LCR[6]  
LCR[5]  
Set break. When enabled, the Break control bit causes a break condition to  
be transmitted (the TX output is forced to a logic 0 state). This condition  
exists until disabled by setting LCR[6] to a logic 0.  
logic 0 = no TX break condition (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = forces the transmitter output (TX) to a logic 0 for alerting the  
remote receiver to a line break condition  
Set parity. If the parity bit is enabled, LCR[5] selects the forced parity format.  
Programs the parity conditions (see Table 16).  
logic 0 = parity is not forced (normal default condition)  
LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 0: parity bit is forced to a logic 1 for the  
transmit and receive data  
LCR[5] = logic 1 and LCR[4] = logic 1: parity bit is forced to a logic 0 for the  
transmit and receive data  
4
LCR[4]  
Even parity. If the parity bit is enabled with LCR[3] set to a logic 1, LCR[4]  
selects the even or odd parity format.  
logic 0 = odd parity is generated by forcing an odd number of logic 1s in  
the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same  
format (normal default condition).  
logic 1 = even parity is generated by forcing an even number of logic 1s in  
the transmitted data. The receiver must be programmed to check the same  
format.

RI are disconnected from the SC16C554B/554DB I/O pins. Internally the  
modem data and control pins are connected into a loopback data  
configuration (see Figure 14). In this mode, the receiver and transmitter  
interrupts remain fully operational. The Modem Control Interrupts are also  
operational, but the interrupts’ sources are switched to the lower four bits of  
the Modem Control. Interrupts continue to be controlled by the IER register.

FIFO and Transmit Shift Register are both empty.  
LSR[5]  
THR empty. This bit is the Transmit Holding Register Empty indicator. This bit  
indicates that the UART is ready to accept a new character for transmission. In  
addition, this bit causes the UART to issue an interrupt to CPU when the THR  
interrupt enable is set. The THR bit is set to a logic 1 when a character is  
transferred from the Transmit Holding Register into the Transmitter Shift  
Register. The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the  
transmitter holding register by the CPU. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set when  
the transmit FIFO is empty; it is cleared when at least 1 byte is written to the

logic 1 = framing error. The receive character did not have a valid stop bit(s).  
In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the character at the top of the  
FIFO.  
Parity error.  
logic 0 = no parity error (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = parity error. The receive character does not have correct parity  
information and is suspect. In the FIFO mode, this error is associated with the  
character at the top of the FIFO.  
Overrun error.  
logic 0 = no overrun error (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = overrun error. A data overrun error occurred in the Receive Shift  
Register. This happens when additional data arrives while the FIFO is full. In  
this case, the previous data in the shift register is overwritten. Note that under  
this condition, the data byte in the Receive Shift Register is not transferred  
into the FIFO, therefore the data in the FIFO is not corrupted by the error.

7.8 Modem Status Register (MSR)  
This register provides the current state of the control interface signals from the modem, or  
other peripheral device to which the SC16C554B/554DB is connected. Four bits of this  
register are used to indicate the changed information. These bits are set to a logic 1  
whenever a control input from the modem changes state. These bits are set to a logic 0  
whenever the CPU reads this register.

CTS (active HIGH, logic 1). CTS functions as hardware flow control signal  
input if it is enabled via MCR[5]. Flow control (when enabled) allows starting  
and stopping the transmissions based on the external modem CTS signal. A  
logic 1 at the CTS pin will stop SC16C554B/554DB transmissions as soon as  
current character has finished transmission. Normally MSR[4] is the

12. Soldering of SMD packages  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow  
soldering description”.  
12.1 Introduction to soldering  
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to  
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both  
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is  
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and  
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not  
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high  
densities that come with increased miniaturization.  
12.2 Wave and reflow soldering  
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from  
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:  
Through-hole components  
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board  
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless  
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,  
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,  
due to an increased probability of bridging.  
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by  
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,  
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.  
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:  
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias  
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation  
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages  
Package placement  
Inspection and repair  
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering  
12.3 Wave soldering  
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:  
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board  
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are  
exposed to the wave  
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

12.4 Reflow soldering  
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:  
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to  
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 35) than a SnPb process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process  
window for a mix of large and small components on one board  
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is  
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak  
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste  
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the  
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package  
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with  
Table 27 and 28

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all  
times.  
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow  
soldering, see Figure 35.
