Working Principles

The ST16C654CJ68TR-F is a serial communication controller that facilitates data transfer between microcontrollers and peripheral devices. It operates by receiving and transmitting data in a sequential manner using the UART protocol. The UART converts parallel data from the microcontroller into serial data for transmission and vice versa. The FIFO buffers help in storing data temporarily, allowing efficient handling of incoming and outgoing data. The programmable interrupts enable the microcontroller to respond promptly to data events. The controller can operate at various baud rates, which can be set using an external clock input or the internal baud rate generator.
