Product Overview

The ST16C554DIQ64-F is a high-performance quad-channel UART IC from MaxLinear (Exar) for high-density multi-channel serial communication. It integrates four independent enhanced UART channels with dedicated programmable baud rate generators and full modem control signals (CTS#, RTS#, DSR#, DTR#, CD#, RI#). Per-channel 16-byte transmit/receive FIFOs reduce CPU load and avoid data overflow. The 64-pin TQFP variant only supports Intel bus interface, directly compatible with mainstream MCUs without extra external logic. Housed in a compact 10mm × 10mm TQFP-64 SMD package, it delivers stable long-running serial transmission for multi-port serial adapters, industrial gateways and data acquisition systems.

Core Advantages

Four Independent Full-Duplex Channels

Integrates four complete UART channels on a single silicon die, reducing PCB layout area and simplifying routing compared to deploying multiple single-channel UART devices separately.

Integrated 16-Byte Hardware FIFOs

Each channel has dedicated 16-byte transmit and receive FIFO storage, buffering burst serial data to lower CPU interrupt frequency and avoid data packet loss.

Optimized Intel Host Bus Interface

This 64-pin package version adopts fixed Intel bus control logic, compatible with most mainstream embedded microprocessors to simplify hardware design of industrial serial communication boards.

Complete Modem Control Signaling

Full hardware modem handshake signals are available on every channel, supporting seamless connection with RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, cellular modules and automated industrial fieldbus systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is your currently available stock of the ST16C554DIQ64-F component fully genuine and original?

A: Yes, we guarantee that all ST16C554DIQ64-F UART chips in our stock are 100% brand-new, factory-original products from MaxLinear (Exar). They are kept inside climate-regulated facilities and handled strictly following standard anti-static ESD safety measures.

Q2: What is the main structural benefit of the “D” indicator inside the part number (ST16C554D)?

A: The “D” variant represents an enhanced revision with upgraded internal register architecture. Motorola bus switching pin is only present on the 68-pin PLCC version; the 64-pin TQFP ST16C554DIQ64-F permanently uses Intel bus mode without hardware selection pin.

Q3: Can the four individual channels run at different baud rates simultaneously?

A: Yes, every channel features its own fully isolated, programmable baud rate generator and configuration register set. This allows you to communicate with four separate peripheral devices at completely different transmission speeds at the same time.

Q4: How can our technical division request register mapping sheets, hardware evaluation footprint files, or bulk volume pricing tiers?

A: Please complete our Quick Inquiry web form on this page with details about your processing parameters. Our application support desk will process your inquiry and dispatch the available technical documentation package within 24 hours.
