SC16C852V
Dual UART with 128-byte FIFOs, IrDA, and XScale VLIO bus interface
INTA
D5
30
O
Channel A interrupt output. The output state is defined by the user through
the software setting of MCR[3]. INTA is set to the active mode when MCR[3] is
set to a logic 1. INTA is set to the 3-state mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic 0.
INTB
D6
29
O
Channel B interrupt output. The output state is defined by the user through
the software setting of MCR[3]. INTB is set to the active mode when MCR[3] is
set to a logic 1. INTB is set to the 3-state mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic 0.
IOR
F4
19
I
Read strobe (active LOW). A HIGH to LOW transition on this signal starts the
read cycle. The SC16C852V reads a byte from the internal register and puts
the byte on the data bus for the host to retrieve.
IOW
E3
15
I
Write strobe (active LOW). A HIGH to LOW transition on this signal starts the
write cycle, and a LOW to HIGH transition transfers the data on the data bus to
the internal register.
LLA
E6
28
I
Latch Lower Address (active LOW). A logic LOW on this pin puts the VLIO
interface in the address phase of the transaction, where the lower 8 bits of the
VLIO (specifying the UART register and the channel address) are loaded into
the address latch of the device through the AD7 to AD0 bus. A logic HIGH puts
the VLIO interface in the data phase where data can are transferred between
the host and the UART.
LOWPWR F1
12
I
Low Power. When asserted (active HIGH), the device immediately goes into
low power mode. The oscillator is shut-off and some host interface pins are
isolated from the host’s bus to reduce power consumption. The device only
returns to normal mode when the LOWPWR pin is de-asserted. On the
negative edge of a de-asserting LOWPWR signal, the device is automatically
reset and all registers return to their default reset states. This pin has an
internal pull-down resistor, therefore, it can be left unconnected.

O
Output 2 (user-defined). This function is associated with individual channels,
A through B. The state at these pin(s) are defined by the user and through
MCR register bit 3. INTA, INTB are set to the active mode and OP2A/OP2B to
logic 0 when MCR[3] is set to a logic 1. INTA, INTB are set to the 3-state mode
and OP2A/OP2B to a logic 1 when MCR[3] is set to a logic 0 (see
Table 20the INTA, INTB operation and OP2A/OP2B outputs, only one function should
be used at one time, interrupt or OP function.

RESET
B5

I
Master reset (active LOW). A reset pulse will reset the internal registers and
all the outputs. The SC16C852V transmitter outputs and receiver inputs will be
RIA
A4
41
I
Ring Indicator (active LOW). These inputs are associated with individual
UART channels, A through B. A logic 0 on this pin indicates the modem has
received a ringing signal from the telephone line. A logic 1 transition on this
input pin will generate an interrupt.
RIB

I
RTSA
C6
33
O
Request to Send (active LOW). These outputs are associated with individual
UART channels, A through B. A logic 0 on the RTS pin indicates the transmitter
has data ready and waiting to send. Writing a logic 1 in the modem control
register MCR[1] will set this pin to a logic 0, indicating data is available. After a
reset this pin will be set to a logic 1.
