The D16750 is a soft Core of a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) functionally identical to the TL16C750. The D16750 allows serial transmission in two modes: UART mode and FIFO mode. In FIFO mode internal FIFOs are activated allowing 64 bytes (plus 3 bits of error data per byte in the RCVR FIFO) to be stored in both receive and transmit directions. D16750 performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters received from the CPU.
