XinaBox UART → xBUS breakout SC16IS750IBS Module IX03

xChip Boards

xChips are a rapid electronics development ecosystem to help reduce development time and simplify making custom products as well as aiding learning. Without soldering, wiring, breadboarding, or hardware knowledge you can assemble a circuit in minutes, and concentrate on coding.

xChips are compatible with the platform you want to use and bridges are available for the most popular pltatforms; Raspberry Pi, Minnowboard, Beaglebone, Micro:bit, Pixhawk and 96 boards. Rather than bridging to Ardunio, we offer compatible cores for Arduino Uno, the CC01, and for Arduino Zero, the CC03.

xChips utilise I2C, and due to this bus architecture, unlimited expansion of circuits is possible. Limitations of I2C addresses have been negated by development multiplexers.

Because of its simple connection method, it is easy to build quickly - for prototyping and small product runs

xChips connect to each other using an xBus connector, available from RS 174-4977.

Some xChips need an xPDI connector (RS 174-4974) to connect to programming interfaces, such as the IP02 or IP03.

IX03 – UART to xBus Breakout xChip (SC16IS750IBS/SC16IS750)

This xChip is an interface breakout module and is based on the SC16IS750IBS (or SC16IS750) chipset, which is a slave I²C-bus/SPI interface to a single-channel high performance UART. IX03 is a UART to xBus breakout designed for breadboarding with UART and I²C devices.

The SC16IS750 supports SPI clock speeds up to 4 Mbit/s and has programmable I/O pins. The SC18IS740/750/760’s internal register set is backward-compatible with the widely used and widely popular 16C450. This allows the software to be easily written or ported from another platform.
