Product details
Overview
TL16CP754CIPMRG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad UART IC with 64-byte transmit/receive FIFOs, hardware/software flow control, and support for up to 3 Mbps data rates at 5 V. It integrates four independent asynchronous communication channels sharing only the data bus and clock source, and is used in industrial serial gateways requiring high-throughput RS-232/RS-485 multi-port expansion.
For engineers reviewing the TL16CP754CIPMRG4 datasheet, TL16CP754CIPMRG4 pinout, TL16CP754CIPMRG4 application, or TL16CP754CIPMRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include FIFO trigger programmability, auto-RTS/CTS timing control via TCR register, IrDA mode support, and 64-pin TQFP package compatibility with ST16C654/TL16C754B designs.
Technical Context
The TL16CP754CIPMRG4 implements four independent UART channels, each with dedicated 64-byte TX/RX FIFOs, error flag reporting, and fully prioritized six-level interrupt architecture. Its enhanced feature register (EFR) enables Xon/Xoff character programming, false start-bit detection, and IrDA-compatible output drive.
It supports multiple supply voltages (1.8 V to 5 V), programmable baud-rate generation with prescaler divide-by-1 or -4, and RS-485 half-duplex driver control via DTR outputs. RXRDY/TXRDY status signals are wire-ORed across all four channels and active-low for DMA coordination.

|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Address select inputs | Select internal register address (0–7) for shared 8-bit data bus access |
| CSA–CSD | Channel chip select (active low) | Enable register access to UART A, B, C, or D independently |
| INTA–INTD | Individual channel interrupt outputs | Active-high, 3-state interrupts per UART; controlled by MCR[3] and IER bits |
| TXA–TXD / RXA–RXD | Serial data outputs/inputs | Four independent UART TX/RX pairs; support IrDA mode with inverted logic |
| DTRA–DTRD / RTSA–RTSD | Modem control outputs | Software-controllable DTR/RTS; RS-485 driver enable via DTR in half-duplex mode |
| RXRDY / TXRDY | Global FIFO status outputs | Active-low wire-ORed signals indicating any RX/TX FIFO has reached trigger level or timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable FIFO trigger levels | Independent RX/TX DMA and interrupt thresholds configurable via FCR and TLR registers |
| Auto-RTS/CTS with HALT/RESUME logic | RTS deassertion at RX FIFO HALT level (TCR[3:0]) and reassertion at RESUME level (TCR[7:4]) prevents overrun |
| IrDA physical layer support | TX outputs drive low during idle in IrDA mode; compatible with 115.2 kbps SIR protocol |
| RS-485 half-duplex control | DTR outputs directly enable external RS-485 transceivers; no external logic required |
| False start-bit detection | Rejects spurious leading edges before valid start bit, improving noise immunity on long serial lines |
| Line break generation/detection | Transmit continuous low state for ≥2.5 character times; receiver detects and flags break condition in LSR |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad UART applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL16C754CIPM | Lacks RXRDY/TXRDY global status outputs; otherwise identical register map, FIFO depth, and feature set | Not suitable for DMA-based systems requiring centralized FIFO ready signaling | Select TL16CP754CIPMRG4 when RXRDY/TXRDY are required for efficient DMA coordination across all four ports |
| ST16C654CJ | Pin-compatible but lacks IrDA mode, auto-RTS HALT/RESUME logic, and TCR register; max 1.5 Mbps at 5 V | Lower-cost option for basic quad UART needs without advanced flow control or infrared support | Choose TL16CP754CIPMRG4 when IrDA, precise RTS timing, or >1.5 Mbps operation is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for TL16CP754CIPMRG4 at 3.3-V operation?
The TL16CP754CIPMRG4 supports up to 2 Mbps at 3.3-V operation when driven by a 32-MHz oscillator input clock. This is explicitly specified in the "Support up to" section of the datasheet (SLLS644H, January 2014). The device achieves this rate using its internal prescaler and programmable baud-rate generator, with full 64-byte FIFO buffering maintained at all supported speeds. TL16CP754CIPMRG4 maintains timing integrity and error-free transmission within this limit under industrial temperature conditions.
Does TL16CP754CIPMRG4 support RS-485 half-duplex operation, and how is driver control implemented?
Yes, TL16CP754CIPMRG4 supports RS-485 half-duplex mode via its DTR outputs (DTRA–DTRD), which can directly enable external RS-485 transceivers. The datasheet confirms this capability in the "RS-485 Mode Support" feature list and describes DTR usage for driver control in the terminal functions table. No external logic is needed - TL16CP754CIPMRG4 asserts DTR low to enable transmit and releases it (high) to enable receive, synchronized with RTS/CTS handshaking when auto-flow is enabled.
How does the auto-RTS function in TL16CP754CIPMRG4 prevent RX FIFO overrun?
TL16CP754CIPMRG4 implements auto-RTS with dual programmable thresholds stored in the Transmission Control Register (TCR): HALT level (TCR[3:0]) deasserts RTS when RX FIFO reaches that depth, and RESUME level (TCR[7:4]) reasserts RTS once space becomes available. This closed-loop control, documented in Figures 1 and 3 of SLLS644H, ensures the remote transmitter pauses before the local RX FIFO overflows - eliminating overrun errors even under high-latency host servicing. TL16CP754CIPMRG4 guarantees deterministic behavior without software intervention.
Is TL16CP754CIPMRG4 pin-compatible with the ST16C654 family, and what enhancements does it add?
Yes, TL16CP754CIPMRG4 is explicitly stated as ST16C654/654D pin-compatible in its datasheet features. Enhancements include 64-byte FIFOs (vs. 64-byte in ST16C654D but not base ST16C654), IrDA mode support, false start-bit detection, programmable sleep mode, and the Transmission Control Register (TCR) for auto-RTS HALT/RESUME control. These are confirmed in the "Additional Enhancements" section and functional description of SLLS644H. TL16CP754CIPMRG4 retains full register-level compatibility while adding critical reliability and efficiency features.
What are the power supply voltage options supported by TL16CP754CIPMRG4, and are they all fully characterized?
TL16CP754CIPMRG4 supports 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V supply operation, and all four voltage grades are fully characterized across the –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, as stated in the "FEATURES" and "DESCRIPTION" sections of SLLS644H. Electrical parameters including timing, FIFO behavior, and interrupt latency are guaranteed per voltage grade - no derating or undocumented limitations apply. TL16CP754CIPMRG4 enables direct integration into mixed-voltage systems without level-shifting circuitry.
