ST16C452IJ68 Datasheet PDF - Exar Corporation

DESCRIPTION
The ST16C452/ST16C452PS (452/452PS) is a dual universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART) with an added bi-directional parallel port that is directly compatible with a CENTRONICS type printer. The parallel port is designed such that the user can configure it as general purpose I/O interface, or for connection to other printer devices. The 452/452PS provides enhanced UART functions, a modem control interface, and data rates up to 1.5Mbps. Onboard status registers provide the user with error indications and operational status. The system interrupts and control may be tailored to meet user requirements. An internal loop-back capability allows onboard diagnostics.
