Product details
Overview
SC16IS762IBS,128 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-channel UART IC with I²C/SPI interface, 64-byte TX/RX FIFOs, IrDA SIR support up to 1.152 Mbit/s, and eight programmable GPIOs - used in industrial RS-485 gateways and battery-powered telemetry modules for protocol bridging between microcontrollers and legacy serial peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the SC16IS762IBS,128 datasheet, SC16IS762IBS,128 pinout, SC16IS762IBS,128 application, or SC16IS762IBS,128 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, SPI clock speed (15 Mbit/s), IrDA SIR capability, FIFO trigger control, and hardware flow control implementation details essential for embedded serial interface design.
Technical Context
The SC16IS762IBS,128 implements two independent 16C450-compatible UART channels with fully programmable framing (5–8 bit, parity, 1/1.5/2 stop bits), auto RTS/CTS hardware flow control using TCR-defined halt/resume levels, and software Xon/Xoff flow control with dual-character support. Its register set enables drop-in software porting from legacy UART platforms.
It operates in either I²C (Fast-mode, 400 kbit/s) or SPI (Mode 0, 15 Mbit/s) target mode, selected via the I2C/SPI pin; supports 2.5 V or 3.3 V supply; features sleep current <30 μA; and integrates IrDA encoder/decoder with 1.152 Mbit/s SIR compliance - distinct from the SC16IS752IBS which caps at 115.2 kbit/s.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC16IS752IBS,128 | Max SPI clock 4 Mbit/s; IrDA SIR limited to 115.2 kbit/s; otherwise identical register map and pinout | Lower-speed industrial control where IrDA is unused or 115.2 kbit/s suffices | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 15 Mbit/s SPI or 1.152 Mbit/s IrDA |

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by SC16IS762IBS,128?
The SC16IS762IBS,128 supports SPI clock speeds up to 15 Mbit/s in Mode 0, distinguishing it from the SC16IS752IBS,128 (4 Mbit/s). This higher speed enables faster register access and bulk FIFO data transfers in high-throughput applications such as real-time sensor aggregation. The SC16IS762IBS,128 maintains full register compatibility while delivering this performance uplift.
Does SC16IS762IBS,128 support IrDA SIR at 1.152 Mbit/s in both I²C and SPI modes?
Yes, the SC16IS762IBS,128 supports IrDA SIR at 1.152 Mbit/s regardless of interface mode - whether configured for I²C-bus or SPI operation. This capability is intrinsic to the SC16IS762 silicon variant and is not dependent on the host interface selection. The SC16IS762IBS,128 datasheet confirms this feature applies across all operating configurations.
How many GPIO pins does SC16IS762IBS,128 provide, and can they be used as modem control signals?
The SC16IS762IBS,128 provides eight bidirectional GPIO pins (GPIO0–GPIO7), each configurable via the IOControl register as either general-purpose I/O or dedicated modem control signals (DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS/RI/CD). For example, GPIO4/DSRA and GPIO5/DTRA map directly to channel A modem status lines, enabling seamless integration with RS-232/RS-485 transceivers without external logic.
What is the FIFO depth and trigger level configuration method for SC16IS762IBS,128?
The SC16IS762IBS,128 features 64-byte transmit and receive FIFOs per channel. Trigger levels are configured via the FIFO Control Register (FCR) for fixed thresholds (1/4/8/14/56/60 bytes) or the Trigger Level Register (TLR) for fully programmable levels (0–63). The SC16IS762IBS,128 uses TLR when its bits are non-zero; otherwise FCR settings apply - enabling precise interrupt timing for latency-sensitive protocols.
Is SC16IS762IBS,128 pin-compatible with SC16IS752IBS,128 in the HVQFN32 package?
Yes, the SC16IS762IBS,128 is pin-compatible with the SC16IS752IBS,128 in the HVQFN32 package (SOT617-1), sharing identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and footprint. This allows direct substitution in existing designs where upgraded SPI speed (15 Mbit/s) or IrDA SIR (1.152 Mbit/s) is required - no PCB changes needed, provided firmware enables the enhanced features.
