8 UART chip CH438

Overview

CH438 is an eight UART chip with eight asynchronous serial ports compatible with 16C550 or 16C750, and supports communication baud rates up to 4Mbps, it can be used for RS232 serial port expansion of MCU/embedded system, high-speed serial port with automatic hardware rate control, RS485 communication, etc. The figure below is a block diagram of its general application.

Feature

  • Fully independent of eight asynchronous serial ports, compatible with 16C550, 16C552, 16C554 and 16C750 and enhanced.
  • Supports 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits and 1 or 2 stop bits.
  • Supports odd verification, even verification, no verification, blank 0, flag 1 and other verification methods.
  • Programmable communication baud rate, support 115200bps and communication baud rate up to 4Mbps.
  • Built-in 16-byte FIFO fist in fist out buffer, Support for 4 FIFO trigger stages.
  • Support MODEM modem signals CTS, DSR, RI, DCD, DTR, RTS, can be converted to RS232 level by 75232 chip.
  • Supports hardware flow control signals CTS and RTS automatic handshake and automatic transmission rate control, compatible with TL16C550C.
  • Supports serial frame error detection and supports Break line interval detection.
  • Built-in clock oscillator, supports crystals with a frequency range of 0.9216MHz to 32MHz, the default is 22.1184MHz crystal.
  • An 8-bit passive parallel interface with 10MB speed is connected to the microcontroller.
  • The parallel interface consists of an 8-bit data bus, 7-bit address, 3-wire control: chip select input, write operation, and optional read operation.
  • Supports direct address and multiplexed address mode: directly input 7-bit address or control the address from the data bus by the ALE signal.
  • The interrupt output pin is an optional connection, active low, can be replaced by the interrupt flag bit in the Query Register.
  • Support 5V or 3.3V power supply voltage, support serial low-power sleep mode.
  • Available in LQFP44 and LQFP128 lead-free packages, compatible with RoHS.
