Simplify UART ports expansion in your design
Flexible solutions
Discrete UART solutions provide flexible baud rates, lower current consumption and programmable features.
Deeper FIFO memory
First-in, first-out memory up to 128 bytes lets you offload data from an MCU, freeing up valuable processing bandwidth.
Multiple channel-count options
Single-, dual- and quad-channel offerings help you meet varying needs of multiple applications.

How to set-up a knock-sensor signal-conditioning system
Engine knocking occurs in engine cylinders because of improper ignition timing or faulty components. Our TPIC8101 can be used in modern knock-sensor systems.
Application note
Transitioning to TI's TL16C2550 from ST16C2550 or SC16C2550
UART is implemented easily and is a low cost serial interface to connect two computing systems. An example is our TL16C2550 which can be easily transitioned to.
