Product details
Overview
SC16IS762IPW,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-channel UART IC with I²C/SPI host interface, 64-byte TX/RX FIFOs per channel, IrDA SIR support up to 1.152 Mbit/s, and 8 programmable GPIOs - used in industrial RS-232/RS-485 protocol bridging and battery-powered handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the SC16IS762IPW,112 datasheet, SC16IS762IPW,112 pinout, SC16IS762IPW,112 application, or SC16IS762IPW,112 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing roles, functional differences vs. SC16IS752, and precise pin-level design meaning for TSSOP28 layout and flow-control implementation.
Technical Context
The SC16IS762IPW,112 implements two independent 16C450-compatible UART channels with fully programmable framing (5–8 bit, 1/1.5/2 stop bits, parity), auto hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), and software flow control (Xon/Xoff) with dual-character support. Its register set enables drop-in software porting from legacy platforms.
It integrates a 15 Mbit/s SPI target interface (vs. 4 Mbit/s on SC16IS752) and IrDA SIR encoder/decoder supporting 1.152 Mbit/s - distinct from MIR - with built-in crystal oscillator circuitry (XTAL1/XTAL2) and sleep current <30 μA at 3.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface | I²C-bus (Fast Mode, 400 kbit/s) or SPI (Mode 0, 15 Mbit/s max); selected via I2C/SPI pin |
| UART Channels | Dual full-duplex UARTs (Channel A and B), each with independent TX/RX, RTS/CTS, and modem control pins |
| FIFO Depth | 64 bytes transmit + 64 bytes receive per channel; supports programmable trigger levels via FCR/TLR registers |
| IrDA Support | Built-in IrDA SIR encoder/decoder; supports 1.152 Mbit/s (not compatible with IrDA MIR at same speed) |
| GPIO Pins | 8 bidirectional programmable I/O pins (GPIO0–GPIO7), configurable as modem signals (DSR/DTR/RI/CD) or general-purpose |
| Supply & Temp | 2.5 V or 3.3 V operation; industrial temperature range −40 °C to +95 °C; 5 V tolerant inputs |
| Package | TSSOP28 (SOT361-1), 4.4 mm body width; lead-free, RoHS compliant |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP28 package (SOT361-1), 28-pin plastic thin shrink small outline, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present. Pin functions validated per NXP Rev. 9.1 datasheet Figure 2a/b and Table 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RTSA / RTSB | UART request-to-send (active LOW), Channel A/B | Auto-RTS output controlled by RX FIFO level; halts/resumes transmission based on TCR-programmed trigger thresholds |
| CTSA / CTSB | UART clear-to-send (active LOW), Channel A/B | Auto-CTS input enabling hardware flow control; must be LOW before transmitting next character |
| TXA / TXB, RXA / RXB | UART serial data I/O, Channel A/B | Full-duplex asynchronous serial interface; supports RS-232/RS-485 level-shifting externally; loopback mode disables physical pins |
| IRQ | Interrupt request (open-drain, active LOW) | Seven-priority interrupt output (modem status, FIFO, Xoff, line error); requires external 1 kΩ pull-up to VDD (3.3 V) |
| I2C/SPI | Interface selection control | Logic HIGH = I²C mode; logic LOW = SPI mode; determines function of SDA/SO/SCL/SCLK/CS/A0/A1 pins |
| GPIO0–GPIO7 | Programmable I/O or modem signal pins | Configurable via IOControl register; GPIO0–GPIO3 map to Channel B modem signals; GPIO4–GPIO7 map to Channel A |
| RESET | Hardware reset (active LOW) | Asynchronous reset clearing most internal registers; TX and RTS outputs go HIGH post-reset; IRQ pulled HIGH externally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Backward-compatible register set | Fully matches 16C450 addressing and bit mapping - enables direct software reuse without driver rewrite |
| Automatic RS-485 direction control | RTS pin drives RS-485 transceiver DE/RE; polarity invertible via register bit for compatibility with common drivers |
| Independent FIFO enable/disable | Transmitter and receiver FIFOs per channel can be enabled/disabled separately - allows mixed polled/interrupt operation |
| Programmable special character detection | XON/XOFF characters configurable as single or dual byte; special character (XOFF2) triggers interrupt without halting TX |
| Sleep mode with wake-on-event | Enters <30 μA sleep when EFR[4] and IER[4] are set; wakes on IRQ-triggering events (e.g., RX data, GPIO change, modem flag) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART with I²C/SPI interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC16IS752IPW | Max SPI clock 4 Mbit/s; IrDA SIR limited to 115.2 kbit/s; otherwise identical register map and pinout | Lower-speed embedded controllers without high-bandwidth peripheral needs; cost-sensitive designs where 1.152 Mbit/s IrDA is unnecessary | Select SC16IS752IPW only if SPI bandwidth ≤4 Mbit/s suffices and IrDA >115.2 kbit/s is unused. |
| MAX3108EASA+ | Single UART; SPI-only interface (no I²C); integrated ±15 kV ESD protection; no IrDA; different register architecture | Space-constrained designs needing robust RS-232 I/O with minimal external components; no dual-channel or IrDA requirement | Choose MAX3108EASA+ only for single-UART, high-ESD, SPI-only systems where software porting effort is acceptable. |
Compared with SC16IS752IPW, the SC16IS762IPW,112 enables faster host-to-peripheral data bursts and higher-speed infrared updates, while MAX3108EASA+ trades dual-channel flexibility and IrDA for integrated protection and smaller footprint - requiring full driver rework.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by SC16IS762IPW,112?
The SC16IS762IPW,112 supports SPI clock speeds up to 15 Mbit/s in SPI Mode 0 - a key differentiator from the SC16IS752IPW (4 Mbit/s max). This enables high-throughput data transfer between host MCU and UART channels, especially critical in burst-mode sensor aggregation or firmware update scenarios. The SC16IS762IPW,112 maintains full register compatibility despite the higher clock rate.
Does SC16IS762IPW,112 support both I²C and SPI simultaneously?
No - the SC16IS762IPW,112 supports either I²C-bus or SPI interface, selected permanently at power-up via the I2C/SPI pin (HIGH = I²C, LOW = SPI). Pin functions like SDA/SO and SCL/SCLK are mutually exclusive per mode. The SC16IS762IPW,112 does not allow runtime switching or concurrent use of both buses.
How does IrDA SIR at 1.152 Mbit/s differ from standard 115.2 kbit/s on SC16IS762IPW,112?
The SC16IS762IPW,112's 1.152 Mbit/s IrDA SIR mode is electrically and protocol-compatible with IrDA 1.4 SIR PHY but is not interoperable with legacy 115.2 kbit/s-only devices at that speed. It requires matching IrDA transceivers and correct pulse-width tuning. The SC16IS762IPW,112 retains backward compatibility with 115.2 kbit/s operation via register configuration.
Can SC16IS762IPW,112 operate with a 2.5 V supply?
Yes - the SC16IS762IPW,112 is specified for 2.5 V or 3.3 V VDD operation, with corresponding pull-up resistor values (1.5 kΩ for 2.5 V, 1 kΩ for 3.3 V) required on the open-drain IRQ pin. All I/Os remain 5 V tolerant regardless of supply voltage, simplifying level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems using the SC16IS762IPW,112.
What happens to UART outputs during hardware reset of SC16IS762IPW,112?
Upon assertion of the active-LOW RESET pin, the SC16IS762IPW,112 drives TXA/TXB HIGH and RTSA/RTSB HIGH; all GPIOs default to input mode; IRQ goes HIGH (via external pull-up). Internal registers reset per Table 4 in the datasheet, but DLL/DLH/XON1/XON2/XOFF1/XOFF2 retain prior values - ensuring baud rate and flow control settings persist across resets unless explicitly rewritten. This behavior is consistent across all SC16IS762IPW,112 units.
