XR16M570
1.62V TO 3.63V HIGH PERFORMANCE UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
DECEMBER 2009
REV. 1.0.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR16M570
1
(M570) is an enhanced Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) with
16 bytes of transmit and receive FIFOs, selectable
transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, automatic
hardware and software flow control, and data rates of
up to 16 Mbps at 3.3V, 12.5 Mbps at 2.5V and 7.5
Mbps at 1.8V with 4X data sampling rate.
The Auto RS-485 Half-Duplex Direction control
feature simplifies both the hardware and software for
half-duplex RS-485 applications. In addition, the
Multidrop mode with Auto Address detection
increases the performance by simplifying the
software routines.
The Independent TX/RX Baud Rate Generator
feature allows the transmitter and receiver to operate
at different baud rates. Power consumption of the
M570 can be minimized by enabling the sleep mode
and PowerSave mode.
The M570 has a 16550 compatible register set that
provide users with operating status and control,
receiver error indications, and modem serial interface
controls. An internal loopback capability allows
onboard diagnostics. The M570 is available in 24-pin
QFN, 32-pin QFN and 25-pin BGA packages. All
three packages offer the 16 mode (Intel bus) interface
only.

This input is read strobe (active low). The falling edge instigates an
internal read cycle and retrieves the data byte from an internal reg-
ister pointed by the address lines [A2:A0], puts the data byte on the
data bus to allow the host processor to read it on the rising edge.
This input is write strobe (active low). The falling edge instigates the
internal write cycle and the rising edge transfers the data byte on
the data bus to an internal register pointed by the address lines.
This input is chip select (active low) to enable the device.
This output is the active high device interrupt output. The output
state is defined by the user through the software setting of MCR[3].
INT is set to the active mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic 1. INT is
set to the three state mode when MCR[3] is set to a logic 0. See
MCR[3].

UART Transmit Data or infrared encoder data. Standard transmit
and receive interface is enabled when MCR[6] = 0. In this mode,
the TX signal will be a logic 1 during reset or idle (no data). Infrared
IrDA transmit and receive interface is enabled when MCR[6] = 1. In
the Infrared mode, the inactive state (no data) for the Infrared
encoder/decoder interface is a logic 0. If it is not used, leave it
unconnected.
UART Receive Data or infrared receive data. Normal receive data
input must idle at logic 1 condition. The infrared receiver idles at
logic 0. This input should be connected to VCC when not used.
UART Request-to-Send (active low) or general purpose output.
This output must be asserted prior to using auto RTS flow control,
see EFR[6], MCR[1] and IER[6].
UART Clear-to-Send (active low) or general purpose input. It can
be used for auto CTS flow control, see EFR[7], MSR[4] and IER[7].
This input should be connected to VCC when not used.

Power-Save (active high). This feature isolates the M570’s data bus
interface from the host preventing other bus activities that cause
higher power drain during sleep mode. See Sleep Mode with Auto
Wake-up and Power-Save Feature section for details. This pin does
not have a pull-down resistor. This input should be connected to
GND when not used.
This input is active high. A 40 ns minimum active pulse on this pin
will reset the internal registers and all outputs of the UART. The
UART transmitter output will be held at logic 1, the receiver input
will be ignored and outputs are reset during reset period (see UART
Reset Conditions).
1.62V to 3.63V power supply.
Power supply common, ground.
The center pad on the backside of the QFN package is metallic and
should be connected to GND on the PCB. The thermal pad size on
the PCB should be the approximate size of this center pad and
should be solder mask defined. The solder mask opening should be
at least 0.0025" inwards from the edge of the PCB thermal pad.

REV. 1.0.1
1.62V TO 3.63V HIGH PERFORMANCE UART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO
1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XR16M570 (M570) is a higher performance single channel UART. The configuration registers set is
16550 UART compatible for control, status and data transfer. Additionally, the M570 channel has 16 bytes of
transmit and receive FIFOs, Automatic RTS/CTS Hardware Flow Control, Automatic Xon/Xoff and Special
Character Software Flow Control, infrared encoder and decoder (IrDA ver 1.0 and 1.1), programmable
fractional baud rate generator with a prescaler of divide by 1 or 4, and data rate up to 16 Mbps. The XR16M570
can operate from 1.62 to 3.63 volts. The M570 is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process.
Data Rate
The M570 is capable of operation up to 16 Mbps at 3.3V with 4X internal sampling clock rate. The device can
operate at 3.3V with a 24 MHz crystal on pins XTAL1 and XTAL2, or external clock source of 64 MHz on XTAL1
pin. With a typical crystal of 14.7456 MHz and through a software option, the user can set the prescaler bit and
sampling rate for data rates of up to 3.68 Mbps.
Enhanced Features
The rich feature set of the M570 is available through the internal registers. Automatic hardware/software flow
control, selectable transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels, selectable baud rates, infrared encoder/decoder,
modem interface controls, and a sleep mode are all standard features. MCR bit-5 provides a facility for turning
off (Xon) software flow control with any incoming (RX) character. The M570 includes new features such as 9-bit
(Multidrop) mode, auto RS-485 half-duplex direction control, different baud rate for TX and RX, fast IR mode
and fractional baud rate generator.
