The ST16C550IQ48-F, a part manufactured by MaxLinear, is a 5.5 V single universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) from the ST16C550 series with a transmission rate of 1.5 Mbps. It is packaged in a thin quad flat package (TQFP) with 48 pins and contains a 16-byte first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer for data. This UART's features enable it to be used in many applications where media transfer communication protocols need to be handled, such as in Modbus networks, embedded systems, or data acquisition modules. It is compliant with the USB On-the-Go and Embedded Host specifications, and is highly integrated, providing superior quality data transmission, robust operation, and low power consumption.
