Product details
Overview
SC16IS762IBS-T from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-channel, SPI/I²C-interface UART IC with IrDA SIR support up to 1.152 Mbit/s, 64-byte TX/RX FIFOs per channel, and eight programmable GPIOs - enabling protocol bridging between microcontrollers and RS-232/RS-485 peripherals in space-constrained industrial gateways.
For engineers reviewing the SC16IS762IBS-T datasheet, SC16IS762IBS-T pinout, SC16IS762IBS-T application, or SC16IS762IBS-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 15 Mbit/s SPI clock support (vs. 4 Mbit/s on SC16IS752), IrDA SIR speed differentiation, HVQFN32 package footprint, dual UART interrupt prioritization, and automatic RS-485 direction control via RTS.
Technical Context
The SC16IS762IBS-T implements two independent 16C450-compatible UART channels with fully programmable framing (5–8 bit, 1/1.5/2 stop bits, parity options), auto hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), and software flow control using configurable Xon/Xoff characters. Its register set enables drop-in software porting from legacy UART platforms.
It supports dual interface modes: I²C-bus (Fast-mode, 400 kbit/s) and SPI (Mode 0, slave-only, up to 15 Mbit/s), selected via the I2C/SPI pin. Internal oscillator operation uses XTAL1/XTAL2 (1–25 MHz crystal or external clock), and sleep current is <30 µA at 3.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface | I²C-bus (400 kbit/s) or SPI (15 Mbit/s, Mode 0, slave-only) |
| UART Channels | Dual full-duplex, 16C450-compatible with independent TX/RX FIFOs (64 bytes each) |
| Max Baud Rate | 5 Mbit/s in 16× clock mode - supports high-speed serial links without oversampling penalty |
| IrDA SIR Speed | Up to 1.152 Mbit/s - enables infrared data exchange compliant with IrDA Physical Layer v1.4 |
| GPIO Pins | 8 programmable I/O pins - configurable as general-purpose or modem control signals (DSR/DTR/RI/CD) |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V or 3.3 V operation - compatible with modern low-voltage MCU domains and level-shifted interfaces |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +95 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
| Sleep Current | <30 µA at 3.3 V - extends battery life in portable and remote sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN32 (SOT617-1) package: 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.85 mm, thermally enhanced, exposed center pad requiring PCB ground connection for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GPIO0/DSRB | Programmable I/O or Channel B Data Set Ready | Configurable via IOControl register bit 2 - used for modem status signaling or general digital I/O |
| RTSA / RTSB | Request-to-Send outputs (active LOW), Channels A/B | Auto-RTS enabled via EFR[6] - asserts when RX FIFO has space, de-asserts at halt trigger level (TCR) |
| CTSA / CTSB | Clear-to-Send inputs (active LOW), Channels A/B | Auto-CTS enabled via EFR[7] - gates TX only when asserted, preventing overrun during hardware flow control |
| TXA / TXB, RXA / RXB | Transmit/Receive data lines, Channels A/B | Full-duplex serial I/O - supports RS-232/RS-485 transceivers; RX inputs disabled in loopback mode |
| IRQ | Open-drain interrupt output (active LOW) | Seven-priority interrupt sources - requires 1 kΩ pull-up to VDD (3.3 V) or 1.5 kΩ (2.5 V) |
| I2C/SPI | Interface select input | Logic HIGH = I²C mode; Logic LOW = SPI mode - determines function of CS/A0, SI/A1, SO, SCL/SCLK, SDA pins |
| RESET | Hardware reset input (active LOW) | Asynchronous reset - clears most registers except DLL/DLH/SPR/XON1/XON2/XOFF1/XOFF2 |
| VDD / VSS | Power supply and ground | VDD on pins 5, 13, 28; VSS on pins 12, 21, 29 + center pad - all must be connected to system ground for stable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic RS-485 direction control | RTS signal drives driver enable - eliminates need for external logic or delay timers in half-duplex bus systems |
| Programmable FIFO trigger levels | Independent RX/TX trigger thresholds via FCR or TLR - reduces CPU polling overhead and interrupt latency |
| IrDA SIR encoder/decoder | On-chip modulation/demodulation at 1.152 Mbit/s - removes requirement for external IrDA PHY layer components |
| Software reset capability | Register-level reset initiated via EFR - allows UART reinitialization without toggling hardware RESET pin or power cycle |
| 5 V tolerant inputs | All digital inputs accept 5 V logic levels - simplifies interfacing with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters |
| Internal loopback mode | TX data internally routed to RX path - enables functional self-test without external cabling or loopback hardware |
Applications
| Industrial Gateway Interface | Portable Diagnostic Tool |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC16IS752IBS | Max SPI clock 4 Mbit/s; IrDA SIR limited to 115.2 kbit/s; otherwise identical register map and pinout | Lower-speed SPI hosts or legacy IrDA implementations where 1.152 Mbit/s is unnecessary | Select SC16IS752IBS only if 15 Mbit/s SPI or 1.152 Mbit/s IrDA SIR are not required - same footprint and software compatibility |
| MAX3107ETJ+ | Single-channel UART; SPI-only interface (no I²C); 12 Mbit/s max SPI; no IrDA support; different register architecture | Space-constrained designs needing only one UART channel and no infrared capability | Choose MAX3107ETJ+ when single UART suffices and IrDA/I²C are irrelevant - requires software porting due to non-16C450 register set |
Compared with SC16IS752IBS and MAX3107ETJ+, the SC16IS762IBS-T uniquely delivers both 15 Mbit/s SPI performance and 1.152 Mbit/s IrDA SIR in a 16C450-compatible dual UART, making it optimal for industrial gateways requiring high-throughput bridging and infrared diagnostics.

FAQ
What interface modes does the SC16IS762IBS-T support?
The SC16IS762IBS-T supports two selectable host interface modes: I²C-bus (Fast-mode, up to 400 kbit/s) and SPI (Mode 0, slave-only, up to 15 Mbit/s). The I2C/SPI pin determines active mode - HIGH selects I²C, LOW selects SPI. Pin functions like CS/A0 and SI/A1 change behavior accordingly, and the SC16IS762IBS-T maintains full register compatibility across both modes.
How does the SC16IS762IBS-T handle RS-485 direction control?
The SC16IS762IBS-T provides automatic RS-485 driver direction control using the RTSA/RTSB pins. When Auto-RTS is enabled via EFR[6], RTS asserts when the RX FIFO has space and de-asserts at the programmed halt trigger level (TCR). This directly controls external RS-485 transceiver DE/RE pins, eliminating external timing logic and ensuring glitch-free half-duplex bus operation.
What is the maximum IrDA SIR speed supported by the SC16IS762IBS-T?
The SC16IS762IBS-T supports IrDA SIR (Serial Infrared) at speeds up to 1.152 Mbit/s - a tenfold increase over the 115.2 kbit/s limit of the SC16IS752. This higher speed enables faster infrared data transfer in portable diagnostics and point-of-sale terminals, while maintaining full compliance with IrDA Physical Layer v1.4 specifications.
Does the SC16IS762IBS-T require an external crystal?
The SC16IS762IBS-T supports both crystal oscillator and external clock input configurations. A crystal (1–25 MHz) may be connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2, or an external clock signal may be applied to XTAL1 alone (with XTAL2 left open). No external crystal is mandatory - the device operates correctly with either configuration, and internal timing remains stable across the full −40 °C to +95 °C range.
Can the SC16IS762IBS-T operate with 2.5 V and 3.3 V supplies simultaneously?
No - the SC16IS762IBS-T operates from a single VDD supply at either 2.5 V or 3.3 V, not both. All I/O pins (including GPIOs and interface signals) are referenced to this single supply. However, its 5 V tolerant inputs allow connection to 5 V logic systems without level shifters, preserving signal integrity while simplifying interconnect design in mixed-voltage environments.
