#83627 - A little O/T help with UART Crystal
Hi,

Like the subject says, this is a touch off topic, but I'd really appreciate some help on this one. I designed a 8051 circuit using a Philips 16C550 uart, as I needed 2 uarts. I had some PCB's made, but then had some problems buying the Philips uarts, so I bought TI 16C550C's instead - assuming they were identical (yes, I know. ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME).

The TI chips don't work, and the only difference I can see is in the clock circuitry. Diagram below shows the 2 alternative Philips clock circuits from the datasheet - I used the top one - on the left, and the TI on the right.

Question is, can anyone see any way I can get it working by just changing capacitor values? or do I need to mod my PCB's (ouch)?

Thanks for your time.

edit>> Just realised I forgot the values for C5 and C6. C5 is 10 - 30 pF and C6 is 40 - 60 pF
