TL16C550C/ TL16C550CI is an asynchronous communications element with autoflow control.
The TL16C550C and TL16C550CI are functional upgrades of the TL16C550B asynchronous communications element (ACE). These devices perform serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversions and include complete modem control capability. They are functionally equivalent to the TL16C450 on power up but offer enhanced features such as selectable autoflow control to reduce software overhead.
