Product details
Overview
SCC68692E1A44,529 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a dual-channel CMOS-LSI universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART) in 44-pin PLCC package, supporting independent programmable baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud per channel, quadruple-buffered receivers, and TTL-compatible +5 V operation. It serves as a serial interface controller in industrial terminal systems, legacy embedded communications, and multidrop RS-232/RS-422 subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SCC68692E1A44,529 datasheet, SCC68692E1A44,529 pinout, SCC68692E1A44,529 application, or SCC68692E1A44,529 equivalent, key selection considerations include independent Rx/Tx baud rate configuration, 6-bit input port with change-of-state detection, 8-bit output port with individual bit set/reset, multidrop wake-up mode support, and compatibility with S68000-family microprocessors.
Technical Context
The SCC68692E1A44,529 integrates two fully independent UART channels sharing a common 16-bit programmable counter/timer and dual clock selectors. Each channel supports separate 1X/16X clock sourcing from internal baud rate generator (22 fixed rates), counter/timer output, or external pins (IP2–IP5, X1/CLK).
Its interrupt architecture features a single active-low open-drain INTRN output with eight maskable sources, plus configurable wire-ORable outputs (OP3–OP7) for discrete interrupt signaling. The device implements automatic echo, local/remote loopback, and multidrop (9-bit) modes via software-controlled channel mode registers (MR1A/B, MR2A/B).

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent UART channels | Each supports full-duplex operation with separate Rx/Tx baud rate selection, enabling asymmetric speed links (e.g., host-to-terminal and terminal-to-host at different rates) |
| Quadruple receiver buffering | Reduces CPU polling frequency and interrupt latency; prevents character loss during high-speed bursts or slow service routines |
| Multidrop (9-bit/wake-up) mode | Enables selective addressing in shared-bus networks; receiver detects address characters and asserts interrupt only on match |
| 6-bit input port with change detection | Four inputs (IP0–IP3) generate status flags or interrupts on level transitions >25 µs-ideal for monitoring external control signals or switch closures |
| 8-bit output port with functional assignment | Individual bit set/reset allows dynamic control of RTS/CTS handshaking, status LEDs, or peripheral enable lines without full register writes |
| Versatile interrupt system | Single INTRN line with eight maskable sources plus six configurable OP outputs for discrete interrupt routing-reduces external logic in complex systems |
Applications
| Industrial Terminal Systems | Legacy Embedded Communications |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clustered intelligent terminals connected to a central controller via multidrop RS-422 bus, requiring selective wake-up and dual-speed operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692E1A44,529 acts as the primary serial interface controller, managing both host-link and peripheral-link channels with independent baud rates and automatic echo for local diagnostics. Use Value: Enables simultaneous 9600 bps host communication and 19.2 kbps peripheral polling while minimizing CPU overhead via quadruple buffering and multidrop address recognition. |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting serial connectivity into aging PLC backplanes using 68000-family CPUs where bus timing and register mapping must match legacy designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692E1A44,529 serves as drop-in replacement for SCN68681-based interfaces, providing identical S68000 bus timing, register layout, and interrupt vector behavior. Use Value: Eliminates redesign effort-preserves existing firmware, PCB layout, and driver code while adding improved receiver buffering and power-down mode. |
| Point-of-Sale (POS) Peripheral Hub | Test Equipment Serial Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Central hub connecting receipt printer, barcode scanner, and cash drawer over separate RS-232 links, each requiring distinct framing and flow control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692E1A44,529 provides two isolated UART channels with independent data format programming (e.g., 8N1 for printer, 7E2 for scanner) and RTS/CTS handshaking managed via OP0–OP1. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by consolidating three serial interfaces into one IC; eliminates need for external level shifters due to TTL-compatible I/O. |
Use Scenario: Automated test fixture communicating with multiple DUTs (devices under test) via asynchronous serial, requiring precise timing control and error logging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SCC68692E1A44,529 functions as the master serial controller, using its 16-bit counter/timer to generate calibrated delays between commands and its error detection (parity/framing/overrun) to flag transmission faults. Use Value: Enables deterministic test sequencing and real-time fault capture without host CPU intervention-critical for high-throughput production testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual UART applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCC68681C1A44 | Single-channel UART; lacks quadruple buffering, counter/timer, multidrop mode, and input port change detection | Suitable only for basic point-to-point links; cannot support clustered terminal or asymmetric dual-speed use cases | Choose only if design requires minimal functionality and lower gate count; not a functional substitute for SCC68692E1A44,529 |
| MAX3100CEE+ | SPI interface instead of parallel bus; integrated RS-232 transceivers; no input port or counter/timer; operates at +3.3 V | Designed for modern low-voltage microcontrollers; requires level translation and SPI driver stack-not compatible with 68000-family bus protocols | Select when migrating to SPI-based architecture or integrating transceiver functionality; incompatible with existing SCC68692E1A44,529 hardware/software |
Compared with SCC68692E1A44,529, SCC68681C1A44 offers reduced feature set and no dual-channel independence, while MAX3100CEE+ replaces parallel bus control with SPI and adds voltage-level constraints-neither provides equivalent multidrop, buffering, or timer capabilities required for legacy industrial serial infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum baud rate supported by the SCC68692E1A44,529?
The SCC68692E1A44,529 supports standard baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud per channel using its internal baud rate generator. With external 1X or 16X clock inputs, it can achieve non-standard rates up to 115.2 kbaud. The device does not support rates beyond this limit, and actual achievable speed depends on crystal accuracy, clock source stability, and system timing margins.
Does the SCC68692E1A44,529 support hardware flow control?
Yes, the SCC68692E1A44,529 supports hardware flow control via its programmable input port pins IP0 (CTSAN) and IP1 (CTSBN), which serve as active-low clear-to-send inputs for channels A and B respectively. When asserted, these inputs gate transmitter operation-halting transmission mid-character if CTS goes high during a send cycle-and are internally pulled up (~1–4 µA) to VCC.
Can the SCC68692E1A44,529 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SCC68692E1A44,529 is specified for +5 V ±10 % operation only. Its DC electrical characteristics-including VIH, VOL, and ICC-are validated exclusively at 5 V. Applying 3.3 V will result in undefined logic levels, unreliable register access, and potential failure to meet timing specifications such as tAS, tAH, and tDD.
How does the quadruple receiver buffer in the SCC68692E1A44,529 improve system reliability?
The quadruple receiver buffer in the SCC68692E1A44,529 holds up to four complete characters before overrun occurs, significantly reducing the risk of data loss during high-speed reception or delayed CPU servicing. This allows longer interrupt latency tolerance and lowers CPU load in interrupt-driven systems-especially critical in real-time industrial environments where missed characters compromise command integrity.
Is the SCC68692E1A44,529 pin-compatible with the SCC68692C1A44?
Yes, the SCC68692E1A44,529 and SCC68692C1A44 share identical 44-pin PLCC packaging (SOT187-2), pinout, and register-level functionality. The only difference is temperature grade: E-grade supports –40 °C to +85 °C (industrial), while C-grade is rated for 0 °C to +70 °C (commercial). Both operate at +5 V and are functionally interchangeable in industrial designs requiring extended thermal range.
