Description and Introduction

CMOS Dual Channel UART (DUART) The XR68C681N is a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) manufactured by EXAR Corporation. Below are its key specifications, descriptions, and features:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Supply Voltage:** 3.3V or 5V operation  
- **Data Rate:** Up to 1.5 Mbps  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to +85°C  
- **Package:** 44-Pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier)  
- **Interface:** RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 compatible  
- **FIFO Buffers:** 64-byte transmit and receive FIFOs  
- **Number of Channels:** Dual UART (2 independent channels)  

### **Descriptions:**  
- The XR68C681N is a high-performance dual UART designed for industrial and embedded applications.  
- It supports multiple serial communication standards, including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485.  
- The device includes 64-byte FIFOs to reduce CPU overhead and improve data throughput.  
- It is compatible with 3.3V and 5V systems, making it versatile for different designs.  

### **Features:**  
- **Dual independent UART channels**  
- **64-byte transmit and receive FIFOs per channel**  
- **Programmable baud rate generator**  
- **Automatic RS-485 half-duplex direction control**  
- **Support for multi-drop (9-bit) protocol**  
- **Low-power operation modes**  
- **Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)**  
- **Compatible with industry-standard UARTs (e.g., 16C450, 16C550)**  

This information is based on the manufacturer's datasheet and product documentation.

Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

CMOS Dual Channel UART (DUART)

Alternative Part Number

  • SC68C681N --: Pin-compatible dual UART with the same 68C681 register set and DIP-40 package, widely available as a direct functional replacement.
  • MC68B50P --: Single-channel ACIA UART in DIP-40 with a similar asynchronous serial interface; usable when only one UART channel is needed.
  • SCC2691AC1A44 --: Modern single-channel UART offering comparable asynchronous serial functionality, suitable as a redesign alternative when the original is unavailable.
  • MC68C681P --: Original Motorola dual-channel UART in DIP-40 with identical functionality and pinout, a classic second-source for the Exar device.
  • ST68C681N --: Equivalent 68C681 dual UART in a 40-pin DIP package, offering the same asynchronous/synchronous serial channels as a drop-in alternative.
