The TL16C452FN from Texas Instruments is a high-performance dual universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (DUART) designed for robust serial communication applications. Housed in a 68-pin PLCC package, this surface-mount IC operates within a 4.75V to 5.25V supply range, ensuring compatibility with standard TTL logic levels. As part of TI's legacy product line (Last Time Buy), it remains a reliable choice for embedded systems requiring dual-channel UART functionality with modem control. Its REACH Unaffected and ROHS3 Compliant status makes it suitable for environmentally conscious designs, while its Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3) ensures durability in controlled manufacturing environments.
The TL16C452FN stands out for its dual-channel UART with modem control, making it a versatile solution for serial communication-heavy applications. While classified as Last Time Buy, its robust feature set, 5V compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability ensure continued suitability for legacy upgrades or niche designs. Engineers seeking a tested, RoHS-compliant DUART with printer port support will find this IC a pragmatic choice.
