The NXP SC18IM700IPW/S8HP is a robust UART-to-I²C Bus master controller designed to seamlessly bridge standard UART ports to I²C devices, enabling microcontrollers to act as I²C masters without requiring complex protocol handling.
Crucial Features and Benefits
- Dual‑Interface Bridge: Converts UART signals to I²C, simplifying integration across serial domains.
- High‑Speed Performance: UART supports up to 460.8 kbit/s; I²C operations up to 400 kbit/s.
- 8 Programmable GPIOs enable versatile user‑defined I/O control.
- 16‑byte TX/RX FIFOs buffer data for reliable throughput under load.
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates from 2.4 V to 3.6 V, ideal for mixed‑voltage systems.
- Low-Power Sleep Mode and a Wake-Up pin ensure energy-efficient standby with fast recovery.
- 5 V‑Tolerant Inputs ensure compatibility with legacy logic without external level shifting.
- Compact Form Factor in TSSOP‑16 (16‑pin) package, footprint ~5 mm × 4.4 mm, height ~0.95 mm.
Product Use Cases
Ideal for legacy system modernization, instrumentation, industrial automation, medical equipment, and any environment that benefits from UART-to-I²C translation, flexible GPIO control, and compact, low-power design.
