description  
The TL16C554 and the TL16C554I are enhanced quadruple versions of the TL16C550B asynchronous  
communications element (ACE). Each channel performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters  
received from peripheral devices or modems and parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters transmitted  
by the CPU. The complete status of each channel of the quadruple ACE can be read at any time during functional  
operation by the CPU. The information obtained includes the type and condition of the operation performed and  
any error conditions encountered.  
The TL16C554 and the TL16C554I quadruple ACE can be placed in an alternate FIFO mode, which activates  
the internal FIFOs to allow 16 bytes (plus three bits of error data per byte in the receiver FIFO) to be stored in  
both receive and transmit modes. To minimize system overhead and maximize system efficiency, all logic is on  
the chip. Two terminal functions allow signaling of direct memory access (DMA) transfers. Each ACE includes  
a programmable baud rate generator that can divide the timing reference clock input by a divisor between 1 and  
16  
(2 −1).  
The TL16C554 and the TL16C554I are available in a 68-pin plastic-leaded chip-carrier (PLCC) FN package and  
in an 80-pin (TQFP) PN package.  
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of  
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

OPERATION OF INTERRUPTS  
Brought low or Interrupts are enabled according to the state of OUT2 (MCR bit 3). When the MCR  
allowed to float bit 3 is cleared, the 3-state interrupt output of that UART is in the high-impedance  
state. When the MCR bit 3 is set, the interrupt output of the UART is enabled.

O
External interrupt output. The INTx outputs go high (when enabled by the interrupt register) and  
inform the CPU that the ACE has an interrupt to be serviced. Four conditions that cause an interrupt  
to be issued are: a receiver error, receiver data available or timeout (FIFO mode only), transmitter  
holding register empty, and an enabled modem status interrupt. The interrupt is disabled when it is  
serviced or as the result of a master reset.

NOTES: 6. The receiver data available indicator, the overrun error indicator, the trigger level interrupts, and the active RXRDY indicator are  
delayed three RCLK (internal receiver timing clock) cycles in the FIFO mode (FCR0 = 1). After the first byte has been received, status  
indicators (PE, FE, BI) are delayed three RCLK cycles. These indicators are updated immediately for any further bytes received after  
IOR goes active for a read from the RBR register. There are eight RCLK cycle delays for trigger change level interrupts.  
7. RCLK is an internal signal derived from divisor latch LSB (DLL) and divisor latch MSB (DLM) divisor latches.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
Three types of information are stored in the internal registers used in the ACE: control, status, and data. Mnemonic  
abbreviations for the registers are shown in Table 1. Table 2 defines the address location of each register and whether  
it is read only, write only, or read writable.

§
The serial channel is accessed when either CSA or CSD is low.  
DLAB is the divisor latch access bit and bit 7 in the LCR.  
A2A0 are device terminals.  
Individual bits within the registers with the bit number in parenthesis are referred to by the register mnemonic. For  
example, LCR7 refers to line control register bit 7. The transmitter buffer register and receiver buffer register are data  
registers that hold from five to eight bits of data. If less than eight data bits are transmitted, data is right justified to  
the LSB. Bit 0 of a data word is always the first serial data bit received and transmitted. The ACE data registers are  
double buffered (TL16450 mode) or FIFO buffered (FIFO mode) so that read and write operations can be performed  
when the ACE is performing the parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel conversion.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
FIFO control register (FCR)  
The FCR is a write-only register at the same location as the IIR. It enables the FIFOs, sets the trigger level of  
the receiver FIFO, and selects the type of DMA signalling.  
D
Bit 0: FCR0 enables the transmit and receiver FIFOs. All bytes in both FIFOs can be cleared by clearing  
FCR0. Data is cleared automatically from the FIFOs when changing from the FIFO mode to the TL16C450  
mode (see FCR bit 0) and vice versa. Programming of other FCR bits is enabled by setting FCR0.  
D
D
Bit 1: When set, FCR1 clears all bytes in the receiver FIFO and resets its counter. This does not clear the  
shift register.  
Bit 2: When set, FCR2 clears all bytes in the transmit FIFO and resets the counter. This does not clear the  
shift register.  
D
D
D
Bit 3: When set, FCR3 changes RXRDY and TXRDY from mode 0 to mode 1 if FCR0 is set.  
Bits 4 and 5: FCR4 and FCR5 are reserved for future use.  
Bits 6 and 7: FCR6 and FCR7 set the trigger level for the receiver FIFO interrupt (see Table 4).

FIFO interrupt mode operation  
The following receiver status occurs when the receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are enabled.  
1. LSR0 is set when a character is transferred from the shift register to the receiver FIFO. When the FIFO is  
empty, it is reset.  
2. IIR = 06 receiver line status interrupt has higher priority than the receive data available interrupt  
IIR = 04.  
3. Receive data available interrupt is issued to the CPU when the programmed trigger level is reached by the  
FIFO. As soon as the FIFO drops below its programmed trigger level, it is cleared.  
4. IIR = 04 (receive data available indicator) also occurs when the FIFO reaches its trigger level. It is cleared  
when the FIFO drops below the programmed trigger level.  
The following receiver FIFO character time-out status occurs when receiver FIFO and receiver interrupts are  
enabled.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
FIFO interrupt mode operation (continued)  
1. When the following conditions exist, a FIFO character time-out interrupt occurs:  
a. Minimum of one character in FIFO  
b. Last received serial character is longer than four continuous previous character times ago. (If two stop  
bits are programmed, the second one is included in the time delay.)  
c. The last CPU of the FIFO read is more than four continuous character times earlier. At 300 baud and  
12-bit characters, the FIFO time-out interrupt causes a latency of 160 ms maximum from received  
character to interrupt issued.  
2. By using the XTAL1 input for a clock signal, the character times can be calculated. The delay is proportional  
to the baud rate.  
3. The time-out timer is reset after the CPU reads the receiver FIFO or after a new character is received. This  
occurs when there has been no time-out interrupt.  
4. A time-out interrupt is cleared and the timer is reset when the CPU reads a character from the receiver FIFO.  
Transmit interrupts occurs as follows when the transmitter and transmit FIFO interrupts are enabled  
(FCR0 =1, IER1 = 1).  
1. When the transmitter FIFO is empty, the transmitter holding register interrupt (IIR = 02) occurs. The interrupt  
is cleared when the transmitter holding register is written to or the IIR is read. One to sixteen characters can  
be written to the transmit FIFO when servicing this interrupt.  
2. The transmitter FIFO empty indicators are delayed one character time minus the last stop bit time whenever  
the following occurs:  
THRE = 1, and there has not been a minimum of two bytes at the same time in transmit FIFO since the last  
THRE = 1. The first transmitter interrupt after changing FCR0 is immediate, however, assuming it is  
enabled.  
Receiver FIFO trigger level and character time-out interrupts have the same priority as the receive data  
available interrupt. The transmitter holding register empty interrupt has the same priority as the transmitter FIFO  
empty interrupt.  
FIFO polled mode operation  
Clearing IER0, IER1, IER2, IER3, or all to zero with FCR0 = 1 puts the ACE into the FIFO polled mode. receiver  
and transmitter are controlled separately. Either or both can be in the polled mode.  
In the FIFO polled mode, there is no time-out condition indicated or trigger level reached. However, the Receiver  
and transmit FIFOs still have the capability of holding characters. The LSR must be read to determine the ACE  
status.  
interrupt enable register (IER)  
The IER independently enables the four serial channel interrupt sources that activate the interrupt (INTA, B, C,  
D) output. All interrupts are disabled by clearing IER0 − IER3 of the IER. Interrupts are enabled by setting the  
appropriate bits of the IER. Disabling the interrupt system inhibits the IIR and the active (high) interrupt output.  
All other system functions operate in their normal manner, including the setting of the LSR and MSR. The  
contents of the IER are shown in Table 3 and described in the following bulleted list:

D
Bit 0: IIR0 indicates whether an interrupt is pending. When IIR0 is cleared, an interrupt is pending.  
Bits 1 and 2: IIR1 and IIR2 identify the highest priority interrupt pending as indicated in Table 5.  
Bit 3: IIR3 is always cleared when in the TL16C450 mode. This bit is set along with bit 2 when in the FIFO  
mode and a trigger change level interrupt is pending.

Bits 4 and 5: IIR4 and IIR5 are always cleared.  
Bits 6 and 7: IIR6 and IIR7 are set when FCR0 = 1.

The format of the data character is controlled by the LCR. The LCR may be read. Its contents are described  
in the following bulleted list and shown in Figure 15.  
D
D
D
D
D
Bits 0 and 1: LCR0 and LCR1 are word length select bits. These bits program the number of bits in each  
serial character and are shown in Figure 15.  
Bit 2: LCR2 is the stop bit select bit. This bit specifies the number of stop bits in each transmitted character.  
The receiver always checks for one stop bit.  
Bit 3: LCR3 is the parity enable bit. When LCR3 is set, a parity bit between the last data word bit and stop  
bit is generated and checked.  
Bit 4: LCR4 is the even parity select bit. When this bit is set and parity is enabled (LCR3 is set), even parity  
is selected. When this bit is cleared and parity is enabled, odd parity is selected.  
Bit 5: LCR5 is the stick parity bit. When parity is enabled (LCR3 is set) and this bit is set, the transmission  
and reception of a parity bit is placed in the opposite state from the value of LCR4. This forces parity to a  
known state and allows the receiver to check the parity bit in a known state.  
D
Bit 6: LCR6 is a break control bit. When this bit is set, the serial outputs TXx are forced to the spacing state  
(low). The break control bit acts only on the serial output and does not affect the transmitter logic. If the  
following sequence is used, no invalid characters are transmitted because of the break.  
Step 1.  
Step 2.  
Step 3.  
Load a zero byte in response to the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) status indicator.  
Set the break in response to the next THRE status indicator.  
Wait for the transmitter to be idle when transmitter empty status signal is set (TEMT = 1); then  
clear the break when the normal transmission has to be restored.  
D
Bit 7: LCR7 is the divisor latch access bit (DLAB) bit. This bit must be set to access the divisor latches DLL  
and DLM of the baud rate generator during a read or write operation. LCR7 must be cleared to access the  
receiver buffer register, the transmitter holding register, or the interrupt enable register.

line status register (LSR)  
The LSR is a single register that provides status indicators. The LSR shown in Table 6 is described in the  
following bulleted list:  
D
Bit 0: LSR0 is the data ready (DR) bit. Data ready is set when an incoming character is received and  
transferred into the receiver buffer register or the FIFO. LSR0 is cleared by a CPU read of the data in the  
receiver buffer register or the FIFO.  
D
Bit 1: LSR1 is the overrun error (OE) bit. An overrun error indicates that data in the receiver buffer register  
is not read by the CPU before the next character is transferred into the receiver buffer register overwriting  
the previous character. The OE indicator is cleared whenever the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. An  
overrun error occurs in the FIFO mode after the FIFO is full and the next character is completely received.  
The overrun error is detected by the CPU on the first LSR read after it happens. The character in the shift  
register is not transferred to the FIFO, but it is overwritten.  
D
D
Bit 2: LSR2 is the parity error (PE) bit. A parity error indicates that the received data character does not  
have the correct parity as selected by LCR3 and LCR4. The PE bit is set upon detection of a parity error  
and is cleared when the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, the parity error is associated  
with a particular character in the FIFO. LSR2 reflects the error when the character is at the top of the FIFO.  
Bit 3: LSR3 is the framing error (FE) bit. A framing error indicates that the received character does not have  
a valid stop bit. LSR3 is set when the stop bit following the last data bit or parity bit is detected as a zero  
bit (spacing level). The FE indicator is cleared when the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO  
mode, the framing error is associated with a particular character in the FIFO. LSR3 reflects the error when  
the character is at the top of the FIFO.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
line status register (LSR) (continued)  
D
Bit 4: LSR4 is the break interrupt (BI) bit. Break interrupt is set when the received data input is held in the  
spacing (low) state for longer than a full word transmission time (start bit + data bits + parity + stop bits).  
The BI indicator is cleared when the CPU reads the contents of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, this is associated  
with a particular character in the FIFO. LSR2 reflects the BI when the break character is at the top of the  
FIFO. The error is detected by the CPU when its associated character is at the top of the FIFO during the  
first LSR read. Only one zero character is loaded into the FIFO when BI occurs.  
LSR1 − LSR4 are the error conditions that produce a receiver line status interrupt (priority 1 interrupt in the  
interrupt identification register) when any of the conditions are detected. This interrupt is enabled by setting IER2  
in the interrupt enable register.  
D
Bit 5: LSR5 is the transmitter holding register empty (THRE) bit. THRE indicates that the ACE is ready to  
accept a new character for transmission. The THRE bit is set when a character is transferred from the  
transmitter holding register (THR) into the transmitter shift register (TSR). LSR5 is cleared by the loading  
of the THR by the CPU. LSR5 is not cleared by a CPU read of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, when the transmit  
FIFO is empty, this bit is set. It is cleared when one byte is written to the transmit FIFO. When the THRE  
interrupt is enabled by IER1, THRE causes a priority 3 interrupt in the IIR. If THRE is the interrupt source  
indicated in IIR, INTRPT is cleared by a read of the IIR.  
D
D
Bit 6: LSR6 is the transmitter register empty (TEMT) bit. TEMT is set when the THR and the TSR are both  
empty. LSR6 is cleared when a character is loaded into THR and remains low until the character is  
transferred out of TXx. TEMT is not cleared by a CPU read of the LSR. In the FIFO mode, when both the  
transmitter FIFO and shift register are empty, this bit is set.  
Bit 7: LSR7 is the receiver FIFO error bit. The LSR7 bit is cleared in the TL16C450 mode (see FCR bit 0).  
In the FIFO mode, it is set when at least one of the following data errors is in the FIFO: parity error, framing  
error, or break interrupt indicator. It is cleared when the CPU reads the LSR if there are no subsequent errors  
in the FIFO.  
NOTE  
The LSR may be written. However, this function is intended only for factory test. It should be considered as read  
only by applications software.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
modem control register (MCR)  
The MCR controls the interface with the modem or data set as described in Figure 16. MCR can be written and  
read. The RTS and DTR outputs are directly controlled by their control bits in this register. A high input asserts  
a low signal (active) at the output terminals. MCR bits 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are shown as follows:  
D
Bit 0: When MCR0 is set, the DTR output is forced low. When MCR0 is cleared, the DTR output is forced  
high. The DTR output of the serial channel may be input into an inverting line driver in order to obtain the  
proper polarity input at the modem or data set.  
D
Bit1: When MCR1 is set, the RTS output is forced low. When MCR1 is cleared, the RTS output is forced  
high. The RTS output of the serial channel may be input into an inverting line driver to obtain the proper  
polarity input at the modem or data set.  
D
D
D
Bit 2: MCR2 has no affect on operation.  
Bit 3: When MCR3 is set, the external serial channel interrupt is enabled.  
Bit 4: MCR4 provides a local loopback feature for diagnostic testing of the channel. When MCR4 is set,  
serial output TXx is set to the marking (high) state and SIN is disconnected. The output of the TSR is looped  
back into the RSR input. The four modem control inputs (CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI) are disconnected. The  
modem control outputs (DTR and RTS) are internally connected to the four modem control inputs. The  
modem control output terminals are forced to their inactive (high) state on the TL16C554. In the diagnostic  
mode, data transmitted is immediately received. This allows the processor to verify the transmit and receive  
data paths of the selected serial channel. Interrupt control is fully operational; however, interrupts are  
generated by controlling the lower four MCR bits internally. Interrupts are not generated by activity on the  
external terminals represented by those four bits.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
modem status register (MSR)  
The MSR provides the CPU with status of the modem input lines for the modem or peripheral devices. The MSR  
allows the CPU to read the serial channel modem signal inputs by accessing the data bus interface of the ACE.  
It also reads the current status of four bits of the MSR that indicate whether the modem inputs have changed  
since the last reading of the MSR. The delta status bits are set when a control input from the modem changes  
states and are cleared when the CPU reads the MSR.  
The modem input lines are CTS, DSR, and DCD. MSR4 − MSR7 are status indicators of these lines. A status  
bit = 1 indicates the input is low. When the status bit is cleared, the input is high. When the modem status interrupt  
in the IER is enabled (IIR3 is set), an interrupt is generated whenever MSR0 − MSR3 is set. The MSR is a priority  
4 interrupt. The contents of the MSR are described in Table 7.  
D
D
D
Bit 0: MSR0 is the delta clear-to-send (CTS) bit. DCTS indicates that the CTS input to the serial channel  
has changed state since it was last read by the CPU.  
Bit 1: MSR1 is the delta data set ready (DSR) bit. DSR indicates that the DSR input to the serial channel  
has changed states since the last time it was read by the CPU.  
Bit 2: MSR2 is the trailing edge of ring indicator (TERI) bit. TERI indicates that the RIx input to the serial  
channel has changed states from low to high since the last time it was read by the CPU. High-to-low  
transitions on RI do not activate TERI.

Bit 3: MSR3 is the delta data carrier detect (DCD) bit. DCD indicates that the DCD input to the serial  
channel has changed states since the last time it was read by the CPU.  
Bit 4: MSR4 is the clear-to-send (CTS) bit. CTS is the complement of the CTS input from the modem  
indicating to the serial channel that the modem is ready to receive data from SOUT. When the serial channel  
is in the loop mode (MCR4 = 1), MSR4 reflects the value of RTS in the MCR.  
D
Bit 5: MSR5 is the data set ready DSR bit. DSR is the complement of the DSR input from the modem to  
the serial channel that indicates that the modem is ready to provide received data from the serial channel  
receiver circuitry. When the channel is in the loop mode (MCR4 is set), MSR5 reflects the value of DTR in  
the MCR.  
D
D
Bit 6: MSR6 is the ring indicator (RI) bit. RI is the complement of the RIx inputs. When the channel is in the  
loop mode (MCR4 is set), MSR6 reflects the value of OUT1 in the MCR.  
Bit 7: MSR7 is the data carrier detect (DCD) bit. Data carrier detect indicates the status of the data carrier  
detect (DCD) input. When the channel is in the loop mode (MCR4 is set), MSR7 reflects the value of OUT2  
in the MCR.  
Reading the MSR clears the delta modem status indicators but has no affect on the other status bits. For LSR  
and MSR, the setting of status bits is inhibited during status register read operations. If a status condition is  
generated during a read IOR operation, the status bit is not set until the trailing edge of the read. When a status  
bit is set during a read operation and the same status condition occurs, that status bit is cleared at the trailing  
edge of the read instead of being set again. In the loopback mode when modem status interrupts are enabled,  
CTS, DSR, RI, and DCD inputs are ignored; however, a modem status interrupt can still be generated by writing  
to MCR3−MCR0. Applications software should not write to the MSR.

programming  
The serial channel of the ACE is programmed by the control registers LCR, IER, DLL, DLM, MCR, and FCR.  
These control words define the character length, number of stop bits, parity, baud rate, and modem interface.  
While the control registers can be written in any order, the IER should be written last because it controls the  
interrupt enables. Once the serial channel is programmed and operational, these registers can be updated any  
time the ACE serial channel is not transmitting or receiving data.  
programmable baud rate generator  
The ACE serial channel contains a programmable baud rate generator (BRG) that divides the clock (dc to  
16  
8 MHz) by any divisor from 1 to (2 −1). Two 8-bit divisor latch registers store the divisor in a 16-bit binary  
format. These divisor latch registers must be loaded during initialization. Upon loading either of the divisor  
latches, a 16-bit baud counter is immediately loaded. This prevents long counts on initial load. The BRG can  
use any of three different popular frequencies to provide standard baud rates. These frequencies are 1.8432  
MHz, 3.072 MHz, and 8 MHz. With these frequencies, standard bit rates from 50 kbps to 512 kbps are available.  
Tables 8, 9, 10, and 11 illustrate the divisors needed to obtain standard rates using these three frequencies. The  
output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16× the data rate [divisor # = clock + (baud rate × 16)] referred  
to in this document as RCLK.

receiver  
Serial asynchronous data is input into the RXx terminal. The ACE continually searches for a high-to-low  
transition from the idle state. When the transition is detected, a counter is reset and counts the 16× clock to  
7 1/2, which is the center of the start bit. The start bit is valid when the RXx is still low. Verifying the start bits  
prevents the receiver from assembling a false data character due to a low going noise spike on the RXx input.  
The LCR determines the number of data bits in a character (LCR0, LCR1). When parity is enabled, LCR3 and  
the polarity of parity LCR4 are needed. Status for the receiver is provided in the LSR. When a full character is  
received including parity and stop bits, the data received indicator in LSR0 is set. The CPU reads the RBR, which  
clears LSR0. If the character is not read prior to a new character transfer from the RSR to the RBR, the overrun  
error status indicator is set in LSR1. If there is a parity error, the parity error is set in LSR2. If a stop bit is not  
detected, a framing error indicator is set in LSR3.  
In the FIFO mode operation, the data character and the associated error bits are stored in the receiver FIFO.  
If the data into RXx is a symmetrical square wave, the center of the data cells occurs within 3.125% of the actual  
center, providing an error margin of 46.875%. The start bit can begin as much as one 16× clock cycle prior to  
being detected.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
reset  
After power up, the ACE RESET input should be held high for one microsecond to reset the ACE circuits to an  
idle mode until initialization. A high on RESET causes the following:  
1. It initializes the transmitter and receiver internal clock counters.  
2. It clears the LSR, except for transmitter register empty (TEMT) and transmit holding register empty (THRE),  
which are set. The MCR is also cleared. All of the discrete lines, memory elements, and miscellaneous logic  
associated with these register bits are also cleared or turned off. The LCR, divisor latches, RBR, and  
transmitter buffer register are not affected.  
RXRDY operation  
In mode 0, RXRDY is asserted (low) when the receive FIFO is not empty; it is released (high) when the FIFO  
is empty. In this way, the receiver FIFO is read when RXRDY is asserted (low).  
In mode 1, RXRDY is asserted (low) when the receive FIFO has filled to the trigger level or a character time-out  
has occurred (four character times with no transmission of characters); it is released (high) when the FIFO is  
empty. In this mode, multiple received characters are read by the DMA device, reducing the number of times  
it is interrupted.  
RXRDY and TXRDY outputs from each of the four internal ACEs of the TL16C554 are ANDed together  
internally. This combined signal is brought out externally to RXRDY and TXRDY.  
Following the removal of the reset condition (RESET low), the ACE remains in the idle mode until programmed.  
A hardware reset of the ACE sets the THRE and TEMT status bits in the LSR. When interrupts are subsequently  
enabled, an interrupt occurs due to THRE. A summary of the effect of a reset on the ACE is given in Table 12.

The scratch register is an 8-bit read/write register that has no affect on either channel in the ACE. It is intended  
to be used by the programmer to hold data temporarily.  
TXRDY operation  
In mode 0, TXRDY is asserted (low) when the transmit FIFO is empty; it is released (high) when the FIFO  
contains at least one byte. In this way, the FIFO is written with 16 bytes when TXRDY is asserted (low).  
In mode 1, TXRDY is asserted (low) when the transmit FIFO is not full; in this mode, the transmit FIFO is written  
with another byte when TXRDY is asserted (low).

IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,  
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should  
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are  
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard  
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where  
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,  
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a  
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual  
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied  
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive  
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional  
restrictions.  
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all  
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not  
responsible or liable for any such statements.  
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably  
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing  
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and  
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products  
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be  
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in  
such safety-critical applications.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are  
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military  
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at  
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are  
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated  
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
