Introduction

The SC16IS750/760 is a slave I2C-bus/SPI interface to a single-channel high performance UART. It offers data rates up to 5 Mbit/s and guarantees low operating and sleeping current. The SC16IS750 and SC16IS760 also provide the application with 8 additional programmable I/O pins. The device comes in very small HVQFN24, TSSOP24 (SC16IS750/760) packages, which makes it ideally suitable for handheld, battery operated applications. This family of products enables seamless protocol conversion from I2C-bus or SPI to and RS-232/RS-485 and are fully bidirectional.

Getting to know the hardware

Schematic

Configuring the hardware

The demo board has an on board microcontroller (U7) which is used to control the SC16IS750/760 through the microcontroller I2C bus. This microcontroller is configured at power up to receive the data through the IrDA port (U10), and the received data are sent back out through the uC’s UART port (P2). The on- board microcontroller can be removed from its socket; this allows the SC16IS750/760 to be controlled through the SPI header (JP1) or the I2C header (JP6). Please refer to the schematics for more detail of the headers’ pin map. When the external controller is selected (U7 is removed), a ribbon cable can be made to connect the external controller’s I2C or SPI bus to the demo board. This option allows the user to control the SC16IS750/760 directly with the external controller, and it also allows the user to quickly develop his software without modify his system to add the 16IS750/760 and the necessary components.

Demo modes
The demo modes can be choose by the jumper on JP8 pin 1 and 2 (IO3). If the jumper is missing the datapath is between IrDA port and uC serial port. In this mode if any data received by SC16IS750/760 through the IrDA port will be send out to P2.
If the jumper is installed between JP8 pin 1 and 2, the SC16IS750/760 is in software loop back mode. Any data received through P1 will be read by the on- board uC and the uC automatically sends the data back to P1 port.

SC16IS750/760 address section
This device can be configured as any of the following 16 I2C addresses by installing the jumpers:

Table 1. Address Section

I2C or SPI configuration
The on-board microcontroller is programmed to control the SC16IS750/760 through I2C bus. But if the 16IS750/760 is to be controlled by an external controller through either JP1 or JP6 then the controlled bus is selectable by JP2.
I2C bus is selected by installing the jumper on pin 1 and 2 of JP2, and SPI bus is selected by installing the jumper on pin 2 and 3 of JP2. e

Modem pins or I/O pins

• Four of the 16IS750/760 I/O pins can also be programmed as normal I/O pins. When these pins are programmed as modem pins, they are routed to the serial port through JP5. This requires the jumper to be on pin 1 and 2 of JP5. When these four pins are
• programmed as I/O pins, they are routed to JP7 through JP5. This requires the jumper to be on pin 2 and 3 of JP5.
• In addition, there are 8 LEDs on boards and can be turned on or off by the SC16IS750/760 I/O pins when programmed as outputs.

Modem port, IrDA or RS-485 port
On this board the SC16C750/760 receiver pin can be routed from one of these three sources: IrDA Port (U10), Serial Port (P1) or RS-485 Port (JP14). Please see the table below:

Table 2. Receiver pin routing

JP18| JP20| JP19|
---|---|---|---
ON| OFF| OFF| Receive from Serial Port
OFF| ON| OFF| Receive from IrDA Port
OFF| OFF| ON| Receive from RS-485 Port

The transmitter pin from SC16C750/760 goes to all three ports, and there is no option to isolate them.

Power supply options
The demo board is normally powered from a 5V-7.5V DC adapter which plugs into the power jack J5. This option requires the jumper JP17 to be installed. Additionally, a 3.3V external power source can be used to supply power to the demo board. This option requires the jumper on JP17 to be removed and the external 3.3V power is connected to JP17 pin 1.

SC16IS750/760 hardware reset options
SC16C750/760 can be manually reset with the push switch (S1) or through the on-board uC (U7 pin25). The factory default is with the S1 switch, therefore, JP16 jumper is installed on pin 2 and 3.
