How to get the driver software of TL16C554APNR?

Also, what is the communication interface between TL16C554APNR and CPU? Thanks.

Best Regards

    This device is compatible with the 8250/16450/16550 series of UARTs used in IBM PCs. The interface is designed to be usable on an ISA card.

    Nowadays, you'd use a microcontroller that has enough UARTs built in.

    Hi Charlie,

    The customer is expected to generate their own code/software driver for the TL16C554A.

    As Clemen's pointed out, most of the time the microcontroller/CPU should have an inbuilt UART peripheral/hardware. In the case where you need to use a TL16C544A, you would need to have the CPU dedicate GPIOs to toggle pins on the TL16C device.
