Beyond UART 16550 Serial Controller


Beyond UART (Universal Asyncchronous Receiver/Transmitter) 16550 Serial Controller IP core translates data between parallel and serial interfaces, and adds/removes start,stop bits, and optionally parity bit. It can be used to communicate with other external devices using a serial cable and RS232 protocol. This core is fully compatible with industry standard National Semiconductors 16550D device except for scratch regiser which is not implemented. Additionaly CPU can read values of divisor latch and fill levels of transmitter and receiver FIFOs. On power up/reset Beyond UART starts in 16450 mode.
