Help with PC16550D

[Froskoy]

Hi,

I've just bought a PC16550D UART chip to transmit 8 bit numbers between two boards and wanted to check that I understand the **broken link removed** correctly:

I shall refer to the chip transmitting as chip A and the chip receiving as chip B.

To send data from chip A, I think you:

• Put the clock signal on Xin
• Put the data to be sent on D0-D7
• Set CS0, CS1 high and not(CS2) low
• Set not(CTS) low
• The serial data out will be on pin Sout

For chip B to receive the sent data, I think you:

• Put the clock signal on Xin
• Put the signal from Chip A on Sin
• The data should appear on D0-D7

Is this correct or am I missing something? Are there any unexpected problems I might come across?

With very, very many thanks,

Froskoy.
