5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte  
FIFOs and 68 mode µP interface  
Rev. 03 — 9 October 2009  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The SC68C2550B is a two channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter  
(UART) 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.  
The SC68C2550B provides enhanced UART functions with 16-byte FIFOs, modem  
control interface, DMA mode data transfer. The DMA mode data transfer is controlled by  
the FIFO trigger levels and the TXRDYn and RXRDYn signals. On-board status registers  
provide the user with error indications and operational status. System interrupts and  
modem control features may be tailored by software to meet specific user requirements.  
An internal loopback capability allows on-board diagnostics. Independent programmable  
baud rate generators are provided to select transmit and receive baud rates.  
The SC68C2550B operates at 5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V and the industrial temperature range,  
and is available in a plastic LQFP48 package.

NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs  
6. Functional description  
The SC68C2550B 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 (character orientated protocol). 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 SC68C2550B represents such  
an integration with greatly enhanced features. The SC68C2550B is fabricated with an  
advanced CMOS process.  
The SC68C2550B is an upward solution that provides a dual UART capability with  
16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO memory. The SC68C2550B is designed to work  
with high speed modems and shared network environments that require fast data  
processing time. Increased performance is realized in the SC68C2550B by the transmit  
and receive FIFOs. This allows the external processor to handle more networking tasks  
within a given time. For example, the ST16C2450 without a receive FIFO, will require  
unloading of the RHR in 93 microseconds (this example uses a character length of  
11 bits, including start/stop bits at 115.2 kbit/s). This means the external CPU will have to  
service the receive FIFO less than every 100 microseconds. However, with the 16-byte  
FIFO in the SC68C2550B, the data buffer will not require unloading/loading for 1.53 ms.  
This increases the service interval, giving the external CPU additional time for other  
applications and reducing the overall UART interrupt servicing time. In addition, the four  
selectable receive FIFO trigger interrupt levels is uniquely provided for maximum data  
throughput performance especially when operating in a multi-channel environment. The  
FIFO memory greatly reduces the bandwidth requirement of the external controlling CPU,  
increases performance, and reduces power consumption.  
The SC68C2550B is capable of operation up to 5 Mbit/s with a 80 MHz clock. With a  
crystal or external clock input of 7.3728 MHz, the user can select data rates up to  
460.8 kbit/s.  
The rich feature set of the SC68C2550B is available through internal registers. Selectable  
receive FIFO trigger levels, selectable transmit and receive baud rates, and modem  
interface controls are all standard features.  
6.1 UART A-B functions  
The UART provides the user with the capability to bidirectionally transfer information  
between an external CPU, the SC68C2550B package, and an external serial device. A  
logic 0 on chip select pin CS and A3 (LOW or HIGH) allows the user to configure, send  
data, and/or receive data via UART channels A and B. Individual channel select functions  
are shown in Table 3.

6.2 Internal registers  
The SC68C2550B provides two sets of internal registers (A and B) consisting of  
12 registers each for monitoring and controlling the functions of each channel of the  
UART. These registers are shown in Table 4. The UART 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).

6.3 FIFO operation  
The 16 byte transmit and receive data FIFOs are enabled by the FIFO Control Register  
(FCR) bit 0. The user can set the receive trigger level via FCR[7:6], 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.

NXP Semiconductors  
5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V dual UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.), with 16-byte FIFOs  
6.4 Hardware/software and time-out interrupts  
The interrupts are enabled by IER[3:0]. Care must be taken when handling these  
interrupts. Following a reset, if Interrupt Enable Register (IER) bit 1 = 1, the SC68C2550B  
will issue a Transmit Holding Register interrupt. This interrupt must be serviced prior to  
continuing operations. The ISR register provides the current singular highest priority  
interrupt only. A condition can exist where a higher priority interrupt may mask the lower  
priority interrupt(s). 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 SC68C2550B  
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, including data information length, start bit,  
parity bit, and the size of stop bit, that is, 1×, 1.5×, or 2× bit times.  
6.5 Programmable baud rate generator  
The SC68C2550B 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.  
The SC68C2550B can support a standard data rate of 921.6 kbit/s.  
A single baud rate generator is provided for the transmitter and receiver, allowing  
independent transmit/receive channel control. The programmable Baud Rate Generator  
(BRG) is capable of operating with a frequency of up to 80 MHz. To obtain maximum data  
rate, it is necessary to use full rail swing on the clock input. The SC68C2550B can be  
configured for internal or external clock operation. For internal clock oscillator operation,  
an industry standard microprocessor crystal is connected externally between the XTAL1  
and XTAL2 pins. 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 6).  
The generator divides the input 16× clock by any divisor from 1 to (216 1). The  
SC68C2550B divides the basic external clock by 16. The basic 16× clock provides table  
rates to support standard and custom applications using the same system design. The  
rate table is configured via the DLL and DLM internal register functions. Customized baud  
rates can be achieved by selecting the proper divisor values for the MSB and LSB  
sections of baud rate generator.  
Programming the baud rate generator registers DLM (MSB) and DLL (LSB) provides a  
user capability for selecting the desired final baud rate. The example in Table 6 shows the  
selectable baud rate table available when using a 1.8432 MHz external clock input.

6.6 DMA operation  
The SC68C2550B 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 SC68C2550B 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 receive trigger level and the transmit FIFO. In this  
mode, the SC68C2550B sets the TXRDYn (or RXRDYn) output pin when characters in the  
transmit FIFO is below 16, or the characters in the receive FIFOs are above the receive  
trigger level.

6.7 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  
(see Figure 4). MCR[3:0] register bits are used for controlling loopback diagnostic testing.  
In the Loopback mode, the transmitter output pin (TXn) and the receiver input pin (RXn)  
are disconnected from their associated interface pins, and instead are connected together  
internally. The CTSn, DSRn, CDn, and RIn pins are disconnected from their normal  
modem control inputs pins, and instead are connected internally to MCR[1] RTS, MCR[0]  
DTR, MCR[3] (OP2) and MCR[2] (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  
transmit/receive circuits.  
In this mode, the receiver and transmitter interrupts are fully operational. The Modem  
Control Interrupts are also operational.

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  
TSR and UART via the THR, providing that the THR 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 = at least one byte in FIFO/THR, logic 1 = FIFO/THR empty).  
The serial receive section also contains an 8-bit Receive Holding Register (RHR) and a  
Receive Serial Shift Register (RSR). Receive data is removed from the SC68C2550B 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 IRQ output pin.

7.2.1 IER versus Transmit/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 RXRDY interrupt (Level 2 ISR interrupt) is issued to the external CPU  
when the receive FIFO has reached the programmed trigger level. It will be cleared  
when the receive FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
Receive FIFO status will also be reflected in the user accessible ISR register when  
the receive FIFO trigger level is reached. Both the ISR register receive status bit and  
the interrupt will be cleared when the FIFO drops below the trigger level.  
The receive data ready bit (LSR[0]) is set as soon as a character is transferred from  
the shift register (RSR) to the receive FIFO. It is reset when the FIFO is empty.  
When the Transmit FIFO and interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated when  
the transmit FIFO is empty due to the unloading of the data by the TSR and UART for  
transmission via the transmission media. The interrupt is cleared either by reading the  
ISR register, or by loading the THR with new data characters.  
7.2.2 IER versus Receive/Transmit FIFO polled mode operation  
When FCR[0] = logic 1, resetting IER[3:0] enables the SC68C2550B in the FIFO polled  
mode of operation. In this mode, interrupts are not generated and the user must poll the  
LSR register for transmit and/or receive data status. 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 receive errors, or a receive break, if encountered.  
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 show if any FIFO data errors occurred.  
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 68C450 mode. Transmit Ready pin (TXRDYn) will go to a logic 0 whenever the FIFO  
(THR, if FIFO is not enabled) is empty. Receive Ready pin (RXRDYn) 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  
the transmit FIFO is empty. TXRDYn pin remains a logic 0 as long as one empty FIFO  
location is available. The receive interrupt is set when the receive FIFO fills to the

7.4 Interrupt Status Register (ISR)  
The SC68C2550B 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. A lower level interrupt may be seen after servicing the  
higher level interrupt and re-reading the interrupt status bits. Table 11 shows the data  
values (bit 0 to bit 3) for the four prioritized interrupt levels and the interrupt sources  
associated with each of these interrupt levels.

FIFO data error  
logic 0 = no error (normal default condition)

associated with the remaining data in the FIFO.

THR and TSR empty. This bit is the Transmit Empty indicator. This bit is set to a  
logic 1 whenever the Transmit Holding Register and the Transmit Shift Register  
are both empty. It is reset to logic 0 whenever either the THR or TSR contains a  
data character. In the FIFO mode, this bit is set to ‘1’ whenever the transmit FIFO  
and transmit shift register are both empty.  
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 Transmit Shift Register.  
The bit is reset to a logic 0 concurrently with the loading of the Transmit 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 transmit FIFO.

Break interrupt  
logic 0 = no break condition (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = the receiver received a break signal (RXn was a logic 0 for one  
character frame time). In the FIFO mode, only one break character is loaded  
into the FIFO.  
Framing error  
logic 0 = no framing error (normal default condition)  
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.  
0
LSR[0]  
Receive data ready  
logic 0 = no data in Receive Holding Register or FIFO (normal default  
condition)  
logic 1 = data has been received and is saved in the Receive Holding Register  
or FIFO

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 SC68C2550B 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.

pin. During the Loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the state of MCR[0].  
CTS. During normal operation, this bit is the complement of the CTSn input  
pin. During the Loopback mode, this bit is equivalent to the state of MCR[1].  
CD [1]  
logic 0 = no change of state on CDn pin (normal default condition)  
logic 1 = the CDn input pin to the SC68C2550B has changed state since

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 16) 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 25 and 26

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 16.
