SC16IS740IPW Interface - UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) by NXP Semiconductors

Specifies the logical or operational function of the component, such as switching, amplification, or regulation. This attribute helps identify the device's role in a circuit. Verify the function against the datasheet to ensure it matches your application requirements.

Indicates whether the component includes a first-in, first-out data buffer. Useful for data streaming and queuing applications. Verify the buffer depth and speed in the datasheet to match your system's throughput and latency requirements.

Specifies the maximum I2C bus clock frequency the component supports. Compare this with your microcontroller's I2C peripheral to ensure proper communication. Verify the actual speed in the datasheet, as it may depend on supply voltage and capacitive loading.

Indicates whether the device's register map matches other components, simplifying firmware reuse. Check this attribute when evaluating drop-in replacements or designing software drivers. Verify against the datasheet to ensure register addresses and bit definitions align with your existing code.

Specifies the number of independent UART interfaces integrated in the component. Compare this when selecting microcontrollers or communication modules to ensure sufficient serial ports for your peripherals. Verify against the datasheet to confirm the exact channel count and supported modes.

Specifies the maximum baud rate supported by the UART interface for serial communication. Engineers compare this to ensure compatibility with the target system's baud rate. Verify against the datasheet for actual achievable rates under specific voltage and temperature conditions.

Identifies the company that designed and produced the component. Buyers often filter by manufacturer to ensure brand reliability, quality standards, and supply chain consistency. Verify the manufacturer against the datasheet and official packaging to avoid counterfeit parts.

Specifies the communication protocol or bus used to connect the component to a host controller. Common examples include SPI, I2C, UART, USB, or parallel interfaces. Verify compatibility with your system's host interface to ensure proper data exchange and control.

Specifies the nominal operating voltage that must be applied to the component for proper function. Verify this value against your system's power rail and the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings to ensure reliable operation and avoid damage.

Specifies the ambient temperature range within which the component reliably functions. Compare this with your application's thermal environment to ensure proper operation. Always verify against the datasheet for derating curves and maximum ratings.

Physical package or case type of the component, defining its dimensions, mounting style, and thermal characteristics. Common types include SMD, through-hole, BGA, and QFN. Choose the package that fits your PCB layout and assembly process. Verify the exact package code in the datasheet for footprint compatibility.

Specifies the revision or variant of the component package. Different versions may affect footprint, thermal performance, or mechanical fit. Verify the exact version against the datasheet and PCB layout to ensure compatibility and avoid assembly issues.

Indicates the product series or family, grouping components with similar design and specifications. Helps identify compatible parts and compare within a product line. Verify the series against the datasheet to ensure correct application.

Number of general-purpose input/output pins available on the component. Compare this count to your design's requirements for interfacing with peripherals, sensors, or LEDs. Verify the exact pin functions and electrical characteristics in the datasheet.
