2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.1
CPU Interface
The CPU interface is 8 data bits wide with 3 address lines and control signals to execute data bus read and
write transactions. The 2852 data interface supports the Intel compatible types of CPUs and it is compatible to
the industry standard 16C550 UART. No clock (oscillator nor external clock) is required to operate a data bus
transaction. Each bus cycle is asynchronous using CHSEL, CS#, IOR# and IOW# signals. Both UART
channels share the same data bus for host operations. The data bus interconnections are shown in
Figure 3..
2.2
Device Reset
The RESET input resets the internal registers and the serial interface outputs in both channels to their default
state (see
Table 16 on page 38). An active high pulse of longer than 40 ns duration will be required to activate
the reset function in the device.
2.3
Device Identification and Revision
The XR16C2852 provides a Device Identification code and a Device Revision code to distinguish the part from
other devices and revisions. To read the identification code from the part, it is required to set the baud rate
generator registers DLL and DLM both to 0x00. Now reading the content of the DLM will provide 0x12 for the
XR16C2852 and reading the content of DLL will provide the revision of the part; for example, a reading of 0x01
means revision A.
2.4
Channel A and B Selection
The UART provides the user with the capability to bi-directionally transfer information between an external
CPU and an external serial communication device. A logic 0 on chip select pin (CS#) allows the user to select
the UART and then using the channel select (CHSEL) pin, the user can select channel A or B to configure,
send transmit data and/or unload receive data to/from the UART. Individual channel select functions are shown

Pins in parentheses become available through the MF# pin. MF# A/B becomes RXRDY# A/B when AFR[2:1] = '10'. MF# A/B becomes OP2# A/B
when AFR[2:1] = '00'. MF# A/B becomes BAUDOUT# A/B when AFR[1:0] = '01'.
