02-December-2003 - D16450, D16750 UARTs have been released. D16450 is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter IP Core functionally compatible to 16C450 UARTs, and D16750 is compatible to 16C750 UARTs. They are developed as direct replacements of standard 16C450 & 16C750 chips, and allow migration to System on Chip solution either in ASIC and FPGA. DCD has also 16C550 compatible UART called D16550.

Each IP Core has broad range of configuration parameters allowing user to chose only requested features of certain UART, save silicon space and significantly reduce production costs. Configuration is prepared by effortless change of appropriate constants in package file. There is no need to change any parts of the source code, so there is no additional risk related to code modification.

Customer can select VHDL, VERILOG HDL Source code, and FPGA Netlists depends what is preferred. Core is licensed under Single Design or Unlimited Designs options. For further details please contact DCD. D16450, D16550, D16750 IP Cores compose complete family of industrial communication modules, and are available now from DCD.
