Product details
Overview
SC16C652BIB48,151 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a dual-channel UART IC designed for high-speed serial data conversion in embedded communication interfaces. It supports up to 5 Mbit/s at 5 V/3.3 V, features independent 32-byte TX/RX FIFOs, IrDA 1.0 encoder/decoder, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C in LQFP48 package. It serves as a drop-in upgrade for legacy 16C2450/16C2550 designs in industrial modems and multi-protocol gateways.
For engineers reviewing the SC16C652BIB48,151 datasheet, SC16C652BIB48,151 pinout, SC16C652BIB48,151 application, or SC16C652BIB48,151 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel asynchronous framing support, programmable 5–115.2 kbit/s IrDA rates, hardware/software flow control implementation, and compatibility with 8-bit parallel bus interfacing using CSA/CSB channel select.
Technical Context
The SC16C652BIB48,151 implements two independent UART channels (A and B), each with dedicated 32-byte transmit and receive FIFOs, separate baud rate generators, and full modem control logic (CTS/RTS/DSR/DTR/RI/CD). Its register set includes enhanced feature registers (EFR), Xon/Xoff character comparators, and time-out detection for robust error handling.
It supports three operating voltages (5 V, 3.3 V, 2.5 V) with 5 V-tolerant inputs, uses an external crystal (XTAL1/XTAL2) or clock input up to 80 MHz for baud generation, and provides DMA-ready TXRDY/RXRDY signals synchronized to FIFO trigger levels - enabling efficient CPU offload in real-time embedded systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC16C652BIBS | HVQFN32 package (5 × 5 × 0.85 mm); same electrical specs and register map - no functional difference. | Used where board space is constrained and thermal dissipation via exposed pad is required. | Select SC16C652BIBS for compact, thermally demanding layouts; SC16C652BIB48,151 remains optimal for through-hole prototyping and legacy LQFP tooling. |
| TL16C752BIPM | Texas Instruments part with identical 32-byte FIFOs, IrDA 1.0, and 5 Mbit/s rate; differs in interrupt polarity and reset behavior. | Requires minor driver adaptation due to inverted INT output and different power-on default register states. | Choose TL16C752BIPM only when TI ecosystem alignment or dual-sourcing strategy mandates cross-manufacturer redundancy. |
Compared with SC16C652BIB48,151, SC16C652BIBS offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but requires requalification of soldering profiles and thermal management, while TL16C752BIPM demands firmware-level interrupt handling adjustments despite matching core UART performance.

FAQ
What voltage levels does the SC16C652BIB48,151 support, and are its inputs 5 V tolerant?
The SC16C652BIB48,151 operates at 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V supply voltage and features 5 V-tolerant inputs across all digital pins including D0–D7, CSA, CSB, IOR, IOW, and RESET. This allows direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers or level-shifting logic without external translators, simplifying design in mixed-voltage systems where the SC16C652BIB48,151 serves as a universal serial bridge.
How does the SC16C652BIB48,151 handle IrDA communication, and what is its maximum supported data rate?
The SC16C652BIB48,151 integrates a fully compliant IrDA 1.0 encoder/decoder supporting data rates up to 115.2 kbit/s. It performs pulse shaping, encoding (RZI), and decoding internally, eliminating the need for external IrDA transceivers. The SC16C652BIB48,151 configures IrDA mode via the Enhanced Feature Register (EFR), and its timing accuracy meets IrDA physical layer specifications when driven by a stable 1.8432 MHz crystal - making SC16C652BIB48,151 ideal for infrared printer and PDA docking interfaces.
Can the SC16C652BIB48,151 be used as a direct replacement for the 16C2450, and what initialization steps are required?
Yes, the SC16C652BIB48,151 powers up functionally equivalent to the 16C2450 and is pin-compatible in the LQFP48 package. No hardware changes are needed. Software initialization remains identical: configure LCR for word length/stop bits/parity, load DLL/DLM for baud rate, and enable interrupts via IER. The SC16C652BIB48,151 retains full software compatibility with 16C450/16C550 drivers, ensuring seamless integration into legacy codebases without modification.
What are the FIFO trigger level options for transmit and receive channels on the SC16C652BIB48,151?
The SC16C652BIB48,151 provides four selectable FIFO trigger levels per channel: 8, 16, 24, or 28 bytes for both transmit and receive FIFOs. These are configured independently via the FIFO Control Register (FCR) bits [7:6] for RX and [5:4] for TX. Unlike earlier UARTs, SC16C652BIB48,151 allows full customization of both TX and RX thresholds - enabling fine-grained tuning of interrupt frequency and DMA burst size to match application-specific traffic patterns.
Does the SC16C652BIB48,151 support automatic hardware flow control, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the SC16C652BIB48,151 supports automatic RTS/CTS hardware flow control. It is enabled by setting EFR[7] (CTS) and EFR[6] (RTS) to logic 1, then configuring the modem control register (MCR) appropriately. When CTS deasserts, transmission halts after the current character's stop bit; when RTS is asserted, it signals local buffer readiness. This behavior is fully implemented in hardware, requiring no CPU polling - a key advantage of SC16C652BIB48,151 over basic UARTs in high-speed modem applications.
