Product details
Overview
SCC68692C1N40,602 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a dual-channel CMOS-LSI universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART) in a 40-pin DIP package, supporting independent full-duplex serial communication on Channels A and B with programmable baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud, quadruple receiver buffering, and TTL-compatible +5 V operation for industrial terminal and embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SCC68692C1N40,602 datasheet, SCC68692C1N40,602 pinout, SCC68692C1N40,602 application, or SCC68692C1N40,602 equivalent, key selection considerations include independent channel baud rate configuration (1X/16X clock options), receiver timeout and multidrop wake-up mode support, 6-bit input port with change-of-state detection, and 8-bit output port with individual bit set/reset capability for status/interrupt signaling.
Technical Context
The SCC68692C1N40,602 implements two independent UART channels sharing a common S68000-bus-compatible parallel interface, each with fully programmable data format (5–8 data bits, odd/even/no/force parity, 1/1.5/2 stop bits), separate receiver/transmitter clock sources (crystal oscillator, counter/timer, or external 1X/16X clocks), and integrated 16-bit counter/timer supporting timer, counter, and receiver timeout modes.
Its interrupt architecture features a single active-low open-drain INTRN output with eight maskable conditions, plus optional discrete interrupt outputs on OP3–OP7, while the on-chip crystal oscillator accepts a 3.6864 MHz crystal at X1/CLK and X2 pins - enabling self-contained timing without external clock generation circuitry.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent UART channels | Enables simultaneous serial links (e.g., host console + peripheral modem) without external multiplexing or software arbitration. |
| Quadruple receiver buffering per channel | Reduces CPU polling frequency and minimizes data loss in bursty traffic or interrupt-latency-sensitive applications. |
| Programmable multidrop/wake-up mode | Supports 9-bit addressing for clustered terminal systems - allows selective channel activation without continuous polling. |
| 6-bit input port with change-of-state detection | Monitors up to four external signals (e.g., pushbuttons, limit switches) and generates interrupts on transitions - eliminates need for external debouncing logic. |
| 8-bit output port with individual bit control | Permits fine-grained control of discrete I/O (e.g., LED indicators, relay drivers) or mapping of internal status (TxRDY, RxRDY) to dedicated pins. |
| Receiver timeout and automatic break detection | Identifies idle line conditions and mid-character breaks - critical for robust protocol framing in RS-232/RS-485 multi-drop networks. |
Applications
| Industrial Terminal Systems | Embedded Controller Communication |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Multi-terminal point-of-sale (POS) or HMI system where one master controller communicates with multiple remote displays/keypads over RS-232/422 links. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DUART provides two independent serial interfaces - Channel A handles local debug console; Channel B manages remote terminal polling in multidrop mode with 9-bit address wake-up. Use Value: Eliminates need for two discrete UARTs or external address decoding logic; quadruple buffering ensures reliable reception under variable latency conditions. |
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane requiring isolated serial communication with I/O modules and human-machine interface units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692C1N40,602 acts as the primary serial interface IC, interfacing microprocessor bus to dual RS-485 transceivers with independent baud rate control per link. Use Value: Independent receiver/transmitter clock selection enables mismatched link speeds (e.g., 9600 bps to I/O module, 38.4 kbps to HMI), reducing firmware complexity. |
| Legacy Equipment Emulation | Test & Measurement Instrumentation |
|
Use Scenario: Retrofit of aging test equipment requiring replacement of obsolete SCN68681-based serial interface with pin-compatible modern alternative. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in replacement DUART maintaining identical S68000 bus timing, register map, and interrupt behavior - preserving legacy firmware compatibility. Use Value: Enables continued production of fielded instruments without PCB redesign; same 40-pin DIP footprint and electrical characteristics ensure mechanical and thermal drop-in fit. |
Use Scenario: Automated calibration station where a central PC controls multiple instruments via RS-232, requiring reliable low-latency command/response handshaking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692C1N40,602 serves as the serial interface engine in the instrument's microcontroller subsystem, using OP0–OP7 for hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) and status signaling. Use Value: Hardware-managed RTS/CTS on OP0 (RTSAN) and IP0 (CTSAN) offloads flow control from CPU, ensuring deterministic response to high-speed command bursts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCN68681B1N40 | Legacy predecessor; identical pinout and register set but lacks receiver timeout mode and multidrop wake-up capability. | Not suitable for new designs requiring robust idle-line detection or 9-bit addressable multidrop networks. | Select SCC68692C1N40,602 when receiver timeout, false start bit detection, or enhanced multidrop support is required. |
| MAX3100CEE+ | SPI-interface UART with integrated RS-232 level shifters; 3.3 V only; no parallel bus interface or counter/timer. | Requires SPI host and level translation; unsuitable for 68000-family bus systems or applications needing independent clock sources per channel. | Choose MAX3100CEE+ only for compact, low-voltage, SPI-based designs where parallel bus integration is not needed. |
Compared with SCN68681B1N40, the SCC68692C1N40,602 adds receiver timeout and multidrop wake-up - critical for power-efficient remote terminal polling. Against MAX3100CEE+, it retains native 68000 bus compatibility and dual-channel clock independence, but requires external level shifters for RS-232.

FAQ
What is the maximum baud rate supported by the SCC68692C1N40,602?
The SCC68692C1N40,602 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 clock inputs allow operation beyond this limit depending on external timing source capability.
Is the SCC68692C1N40,602 pin-compatible with the SCN68681?
Yes, the SCC68692C1N40,602 is explicitly stated in its datasheet to be compatible with the SCN68681. It maintains identical pinout, register mapping, and S68000 bus timing, making it a direct replacement in existing designs - though it adds enhanced features like receiver timeout and multidrop wake-up mode not present in the SCN68681.
Does the SCC68692C1N40,602 include an on-chip crystal oscillator?
Yes, the SCC68692C1N40,602 integrates a crystal oscillator circuit. Pins X1/CLK and X2 are designed for direct connection of a 3.6864 MHz crystal; the oscillator provides the base timing reference for the baud rate generator, counter/timer, and internal logic - eliminating the need for an external clock source in most configurations.
How does the quadruple receiver buffering in the SCC68692C1N40,602 improve system reliability?
The quadruple receiver buffering in the SCC68692C1N40,602 provides four levels of depth in each channel's receive holding register chain. This significantly reduces the risk of receiver overrun during high-data-rate bursts or when CPU interrupt latency is variable, allowing more time for firmware to service interrupts before buffer overflow occurs - especially valuable in real-time industrial control applications.
Can the SCC68692C1N40,602 operate with different baud rates on Channel A and Channel B simultaneously?
Yes, the SCC68692C1N40,602 allows independent baud rate configuration for each channel. Each receiver and transmitter can select its clock source separately - from the shared baud rate generator, the 16-bit counter/timer, or external 1X/16X inputs - enabling true dual-speed operation, such as 9600 bps on Channel A and 38.4 kbaud on Channel B, without cross-interference.
What is the function of the 6-bit input port (IP0–IP5) on the SCC68692C1N40,602?
The 6-bit input port (IP0–IP5) on the SCC68692C1N40,602 serves dual roles: as general-purpose digital inputs or as dedicated control signals including CTSAN/CTSBN, RxCA/RxCB, TxCA/TxCB, and CTCLK. Four of these inputs (IP0–IP3) support change-of-state detection with interrupt generation, enabling efficient monitoring of external events without constant polling.
