Working Principles

The TL16C550CIPTG4 operates based on the principles of UART communication. It receives and transmits data in a serial format, using start and stop bits to frame each character. The baud rate generator determines the speed at which data is transferred.

When data is received, it is stored in the receive FIFO buffer until it can be processed by the connected microcontroller or processor. Similarly, outgoing data is stored in the transmit FIFO buffer before being transmitted.

Interrupts are used to notify the system when new data is available for processing or when the transmit buffer is empty, allowing efficient handling of data transfer.
