MaxLinear UART Solutions
MaxLinear UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Solutions is a broad portfolio that includes 8-Bit/VLIO, I2C/SPI, PCI, USB, LPC, and combo UARTs.
The 8-Bit/VLIO UARTs provide a parallel 8-bit bus interface. The I2C/SPI UARTs include a simple 2-wire (I2C) or 4-wire (SPI) interface. The PCI UARTS are designed for use in system boards or add-in cards. USB UART devices offer a USB 2.0 data bus interface are intended for peripheral or inter-system communication. The Combo UARTs combine a single channel UART with a serial transceiver. LPC UARTs are 2-channel and 4-channel intended for the Intel Low Pin Count (LPC) bus interface.
