PI7C9X762Q Automotive-Compliant I²C/SPI-to-Dual UART Bridge

The Diodes PI7C9X762Q automotive-compliant I²C/SPI-bus-to-dual-channel high-performance UART bridge supports applications operating at -40°C to +105°C temperature range. The PI7C9X762Q offers full bidirectional protocol conversion from an I²C or SPI-bus to UART and supports SPI clock speeds up to 33 Mbps. The UART includes 64 bytes of TX/RX FIFOs with programmable trigger levels and is backward compatible to the 16C450. It has up to eight additional programmable, general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins.

The PI7C9X762Q’s advanced features, including auto-hardware and software flow control, deliver a very stable, safe, and cost-effective solution for robust automotive interconnectivity. Its additional features include support for fractional baud rates, and its software reset function allows the UART to be reset at any instant, independent of a hardware reset signal.

The PI7C9X762Q is available in the small-footprint W-QFN5050-32 (ZH32). A standard compliance version, PI7C9X762, is available and is suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
