Product details
Overview
SC26C562C1A,512 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a CMOS dual universal serial communications controller (CDUSCC) providing two independent, multi-protocol, full-duplex UART/USART channels in a single PLCC52 package. It supports synchronous (HDLC/SDLC/X.25/BISYNC) and asynchronous modes up to 10 Mbit/s, features 16-deep FIFOs per channel, integrated DPLL, and programmable bit-rate generation from BRG, DPLL, counter/timer, or external clock.
For engineers reviewing the SC26C562C1A,512 datasheet, SC26C562C1A,512 pinout, SC26C562C1A,512 application, or SC26C562C1A,512 equivalent, this device serves as a legacy industrial-grade dual-channel serial controller for embedded telecom, protocol-conversion, and legacy system interface designs requiring hardware-compatible replacement of SCN26562.
Technical Context
The SC26C562C1A,512 implements two fully independent serial channels sharing a common 19-rate bit-rate generator (BRG) and on-chip oscillator, with each channel configurable for BOP (HDLC/SDLC), COP (BISYNC), or ASYNC protocols. Each channel integrates a 16-bit multifunction counter/timer, digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), CRC/LRC generator/checker, and programmable encoding (NRZ/NRZI/FM0/FM1/Manchester).
It uses a synchronous bus interface compatible with 8086/iAPX86 MPUs, supporting polled, interrupt-driven, block-move, and DMA transfers-including dual-address and single-address DMA with EOPN frame termination signaling. The device powers from a single +5 V supply and operates from 0 °C to +70 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 10 Mbit/s per channel - enables high-speed legacy serial links without external rate-limiting logic. |
| FIFO Depth | 16-character receive/transmit FIFO per channel - reduces CPU interrupt/DMA overhead and prevents overrun/underrun in burst traffic. |
| Protocol Support | BOP (HDLC/SDLC/X.25), COP (BISYNC), ASYNC (5–8 bits + parity) - eliminates need for separate protocol-specific controllers. |
| Bit-Rate Sources | BRG (19 fixed rates), DPLL (≤312.5 kHz), counter/timer, or external 1X/16X clock - allows flexible clock sourcing for mixed-speed dual-channel operation. |
| Encoding Options | NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester - supports legacy tape/disk controllers and telecom line coding requirements. |
| Bus Interface | Synchronous MPU interface (8086-compatible), 160 ns bus cycle - ensures direct drop-in integration with legacy x86-based industrial controllers. |
| Supply Voltage | +5 V ±10% - matches standard TTL/CMOS system rails without auxiliary regulation. |
Pinout & Package
SC26C562C1A,512 is housed in a 52-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC52, SOT238-2) with J-lead configuration and 0.050" pitch. The package is lead-free compatible and designed for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1–A6 | Address Inputs | Select internal register address during MPU read/write cycles; active-HIGH, decoded via on-chip logic. |
| D0–D7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for register access, command loading, and status/data transfer; 3-state when CSN inactive. |
| RDN / WRN | Read/Write Strobe | Active-LOW control signals synchronized with CSN to initiate register read or write; rising edge of WRN latches data. |
| CSN | Chip Select | Active-LOW enable for all data transfers; places D-bus in high-impedance when deasserted (except during interrupt/DMA cycles). |
| IRQN | Interrupt Request | Open-drain active-LOW output asserting on any enabled interrupt condition; supports vectorized or polled servicing. |
| RxDA/RxDB | Channel A/B Serial Input | Asynchronous/synchronous serial data inputs; sampled on rising edge of Rx clock when external clock selected. |
| TxDA/TxDB | Channel A/B Serial Output | Transmitted serial data outputs; least-significant bit first; held HIGH (marking) when disabled or in loopback. |
| X1/CLK, X2 | Oscillator Inputs | Crystal or external clock inputs; X1 accepts 0–16 MHz clock or crystal (with load caps); X2 is crystal return or floating for external clock mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent protocol engines | Each channel independently programmable for BOP/COP/ASYNC - enables simultaneous HDLC telemetry and ASCII console on same IC. |
| Hardware-compatible with SCN26562 | PIN- and REGISTER-level compatibility with NMOS SCN26562 - allows drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware changes. |
| Programmable modem I/O | RTS/CTS/DCD pins configurable as general-purpose I/O or auto-enabled modem controls - simplifies board-level signal routing and protocol handshaking. |
| FIFO status bit appending | Receiver status and transmitter command bits appended to each FIFO character - enables atomic status-aware data reads without separate status polling. |
| DMA frame termination | EOPN signal asserts on terminal count or DMA DONE - ensures precise framing control for packetized data transfers without software intervention. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual universal serial communications controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCN26562C1A | NMOS process; higher power (ICC ≈ 120 mA vs. 80 mA); no on-chip oscillator; requires external clock source. | Same pinout/register map but lacks DPLL and crystal oscillator - unsuitable where clock recovery or crystal-based timing is required. | Select SCN26562C1A only if legacy NMOS board layout and external clock infrastructure already exist. |
| SC68C562C1A | Asynchronous bus interface (68000-compatible); different address/control timing; no RDYN signal; incompatible MPU handshake. | Designed for Motorola 68k systems - not electrically or logically compatible with 8086-based designs using SC26C562C1A,512. | Choose SC68C562C1A exclusively for 68000/68010 platforms; not a functional substitute in Intel-bus systems. |
Compared with SCN26562C1A and SC68C562C1A, the SC26C562C1A,512 uniquely combines 8086 bus compatibility, integrated crystal oscillator, DPLL-based clock recovery, and dual-protocol flexibility - making it the sole option for upgrading legacy NMOS DUSCC systems while adding timing autonomy and low-power operation.

FAQ
Is SC26C562C1A,512 pin-compatible with SCN26562?
Yes, SC26C562C1A,512 is PIN- and REGISTER-compatible with SCN26562. It automatically defaults to the NMOS register map on power-up and shares identical PLCC52 pinout, enabling direct PCB replacement without layout changes. However, SC26C562C1A,512 adds on-chip oscillator and DPLL functionality not present in SCN26562.
What is the maximum supported crystal frequency for SC26C562C1A,512?
The SC26C562C1A,512 supports crystal or external clock frequencies up to 16.0 MHz on the X1/CLK pin, as specified in its AC Electrical Characteristics table. Operation at 14.7456 MHz is commonly used for standard UART baud rate derivation, and the device's internal oscillator circuitry is characterized for stable startup and jitter performance within this range.
Does SC26C562C1A,512 support both synchronous and asynchronous modes simultaneously?
Yes, SC26C562C1A,512 supports concurrent operation: Channel A can run in asynchronous mode (e.g., ASCII console) while Channel B operates in synchronous BOP mode (e.g., HDLC telemetry). Each channel's protocol, data format, clock source, and FIFO thresholds are independently programmable via dedicated register sets.
What are the key timing differences between SC26C562C1A,512 and SC68C562C1A?
SC26C562C1A,512 uses a synchronous bus interface (8086-compatible) with RDYN wait-state signaling, while SC68C562C1A uses an asynchronous interface (68000-compatible) with different strobe timing and no RDYN. Their address decoding, interrupt acknowledge sequences, and DMA handshake protocols are mutually incompatible - they cannot be substituted without redesigning MPU interface logic.
Can SC26C562C1A,512 generate Manchester-encoded output?
Yes, SC26C562C1A,512 supports Manchester encoding in both transmit and receive paths, with a maximum data rate of 5 MHz for Manchester-coded signals as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. Encoding is selected per-channel via the Character Format Register (CFR), and the DPLL or BRG supplies the required bit-clock timing.
