Overview
SCC68692C1A44,529 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a dual-channel CMOS-LSI universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART) in 44-pin PLCC package. It provides two independent full-duplex UART channels, quadruple-buffered receivers, programmable 5–8-bit data format with parity and 1/1.5/2 stop bits, and supports baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud. It is used in industrial terminal systems requiring dual-speed serial communication with hardware flow control.
For engineers reviewing the SCC68692C1A44,529 datasheet, SCC68692C1A44,529 pinout, SCC68692C1A44,529 application, or SCC68692C1A44,529 equivalent, key selection considerations include independent baud rate programming per channel, 6-bit input port with change-of-state detection, 8-bit output port with individual bit set/reset, on-chip crystal oscillator, and support for multidrop wake-up mode.
Technical Context
The SCC68692C1A44,529 implements two independent UART channels sharing a common S68000-compatible bus interface, with separate programmable baud rate generators and 16-bit counter/timer. Each channel supports normal, local/remote loopback, automatic echo, and multidrop (9-bit) modes.
It integrates a 6-bit multipurpose input port with four change-of-state detectors and an 8-bit output port configurable as general-purpose I/O or status/interrupt signals (e.g., RxRDYAN, TxRDYBN). The interrupt system features a single active-low INTRN output with eight maskable sources plus optional wire-ORable outputs via OP3–OP7.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent channel configuration | Each UART channel supports unique data format, baud rate, and operating mode (e.g., one in normal, one in multidrop) |
| Hardware flow control | CTS/RTS handshaking per channel with automatic RTS deactivation after transmission completion |
| Receiver timeout detection | Counter/timer monitors idle line condition and asserts interrupt when character stream pauses - critical for multidrop polling |
| False start bit rejection | Validates start-bit transitions using 16X sampling and multi-sample consistency - prevents spurious character capture |
| Break handling | Detects and generates line breaks, including mid-character break detection and start-end break interrupt/status reporting |
| Power-down mode | Reduces ICC to ≤3.0 mA (CMOS inputs) while preserving register state - suitable for low-power polling applications |
Applications
| Industrial Terminal Clusters | Legacy Industrial PLC Communication |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Multi-terminal systems where one host polls multiple remote terminals over RS-232/422 links, requiring asymmetric speed negotiation (e.g., host at 38.4 kbaud, terminals at 9.6 kbaud). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DUART acts as dual-port serial interface controller; Channel A handles host link, Channel B manages terminal polling; independent baud rate selection enables speed-matched communication per link. Use Value: Eliminates need for external clock dividers or dual UART ICs; quadruple buffering prevents overrun during burst polling; multidrop wake-up mode reduces bus contention. |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting legacy programmable logic controllers with modern microprocessor-based I/O modules requiring synchronous serial command/response exchange. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692C1A44,529 serves as protocol bridge; one channel handles ASCII command parsing, the other manages binary status reporting; counter/timer provides precise inter-character timing. Use Value: On-chip 16-bit timer replaces external timing ICs; input port change detection captures front-panel switch events without CPU polling; power-down mode extends module standby life. |
| Point-of-Sale (POS) Peripheral Hub | Medical Device Serial Gateway |
|
Use Scenario: Compact retail kiosk integrating barcode scanner, receipt printer, and cash drawer - each requiring independent serial handshaking and timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DUART functions as centralized serial arbiter; OP0–OP7 drive peripheral enable/control lines; IP0–IP5 monitor hardware handshake signals (e.g., printer busy, drawer latch). Use Value: Single-chip solution replaces discrete logic + dual UARTs; RTS-controlled auto-deactivation ensures printer doesn't miss first character; RxRDY interrupts minimize CPU latency. |
Use Scenario: FDA-compliant patient monitor aggregating data from ECG, SpO₂, and NIBP modules via isolated RS-232 links before forwarding to central station. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692C1A44,529 acts as safety-isolated serial concentrator; each channel buffers sensor data independently; receiver timeout detects module disconnection. Use Value: Quadruple buffering maintains data integrity during transient noise bursts; parity/framing error detection flags corrupted frames pre-transmission; industrial temp range ensures reliability in clinical environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCC68681B1A44,518 | Single-channel UART; identical pinout and register map but lacks Channel B and associated I/O (OP4–OP7, IP4–IP5, RxDB/TxDB) | Suitable only for single-link applications; cannot support dual independent serial streams or multidrop coordination | Select only if system requires exactly one UART channel and space/cost constraints prohibit dual-channel solution |
| TL16C550CPTR | Enhanced FIFO UART (16-byte TX/RX FIFO); no input/output port; different register set and interrupt structure; 48-pin TQFP package | Better suited for high-speed PC-style serial I/O; lacks multidrop mode, change-of-state detection, and programmable counter/timer | Choose when high-throughput streaming (e.g., >115.2 kbaud sustained) is required and auxiliary I/O is handled elsewhere |
Compared with SCC68692C1A44,529, the SCC68681B1A44,518 reduces integration by removing half the serial path and all dual-channel control logic, while the TL16C550CPTR trades configurability and embedded control features for deeper FIFO buffering and PC compatibility - neither offers the same combination of dual independent UARTs, integrated I/O, and multidrop timing control.

FAQ
What is the maximum baud rate supported by the SCC68692C1A44,529?
The SCC68692C1A44,529 supports standard baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud per channel using its internal baud rate generator with a 3.6864 MHz crystal. Non-standard rates up to 115.2 kbaud are achievable via the 16-bit counter/timer, and external 1X or 16X clocks allow operation beyond this limit depending on input frequency and system timing margins.
Does the SCC68692C1A44,529 support hardware flow control?
Yes, the SCC68692C1A44,529 supports full hardware flow control per channel via dedicated RTS/CTS pins (OP0/IP0 for Channel A, OP1/IP1 for Channel B). The RTS outputs can be automatically deactivated after transmission completes, and CTS inputs gate transmission - both configurable through mode and command registers.
Can the SCC68692C1A44,529 operate with an external clock instead of a crystal?
Yes, the SCC68692C1A44,529 accepts an external clock signal on the X1/CLK pin, eliminating the need for a crystal. The X2 pin may be left unconnected or grounded. The external clock must meet specified frequency (0–4 MHz) and timing (tCLK ≥ 100 ns) requirements to ensure reliable operation of the baud rate generator and counter/timer.
What is the purpose of the 6-bit input port (IP0–IP5) on the SCC68692C1A44,529?
The 6-bit input port provides flexible auxiliary signal acquisition: it can serve as general-purpose inputs, CTS/RTS control lines, external clock sources for receivers/transmitters, or counter/timer inputs. Four pins (IP0–IP3) feature change-of-state detection with interrupt capability, enabling edge-triggered event capture without CPU polling.
How does the SCC68692C1A44,529 handle multidrop (9-bit) communication?
The SCC68692C1A44,529 implements true multidrop mode (also called 'wake-up' or '9-bit') where the ninth bit distinguishes address frames from data frames. In this mode, the receiver detects address characters, asserts an interrupt, and enables subsequent data reception - allowing one master to selectively activate multiple slaves on a shared bus.
