Overview
The SC16IS760IBS,157 is a single UART with I2C-bus/SPI interface, manufactured by NXP USA Inc. This component is part of the SC16IS740/750/760 family, which provides a high-performance UART interface with advanced features. It is designed to offer seamless protocol conversion from I2C-bus or SPI to RS-232/RS-485 and is fully bidirectional. The device is particularly suitable for handheld, battery-operated applications due to its low operating and sleeping current.
