Description

The PI7C9X762 is a I2 C-bus/SPI to a dual-channel high performance UART bridge controller. It offers data rates up to 33Mbps and guarantees low operating and sleeping current. The PI7C9X762 also has up to 8 additional programmable general purpose I/O [GPIO] pins. The device comes in very small TSSOP28 packages, which makes it ideally suitable for cost efficient, handheld, battery operated applications. These UART bridges provide protocol conversion from I2C -bus or SPI to RS232/RS-485/RS-422 and are fully bidirectional.

The PI7C9X762 supports SPI clock speeds up to 33Mbps and IrDA SIR up to 1.152Mbit/s.

The PI7C9X762’s internal register set is backward-compatible with the widely used and widely popular 16C450 UART. The PI7C9X762 also provides additional advanced features such as auto hardware and software flow control, automatic RS-485 support, support for fractional baud rates and software reset. This allows the software to reset the UART at any moment, independent of the hardware reset signal.
