GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR16L7841 (784) is a quad Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART). The device is designed for high bandwidth requirement in communication systems. The global interrupt source register provides a complete interrupt status indication for all 4 channels to speed up interrupt parsing.
