XR21B1420IL28-F 概述

The MaxLinear XR21B1420IL28-F is an enhanced single-channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) bridge to USB interface IC, housed in a 28-pin QFN package (5x5 mm). The device integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed compliant PHY, a 512-byte TX/RX FIFO UART engine, and an internal 3.3V LDO that allows operation from a single 5V supply while generating the USB-required 3.3V rail internally.

A UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) is a hardware block that converts parallel data into asynchronous serial frames and vice versa. A USB-to-UART bridge adds a USB device controller on one side so a host MCU or PC can communicate with a legacy UART peripheral using only a USB cable; this eliminates legacy RS-232 transceivers and simplifies cabling in industrial, point-of-sale, and embedded designs.

The XR21B1420 supports the full USB 2.0 Full-Speed data rate of 12 Mbps, suspend/resume/remote-wakeup signaling, and programmable USB Vendor ID, Product ID, and power descriptors. The UART side offers 5, 6, 7, or 8 data bits, configurable baud rates via the MaxLinear configuration utility, hardware and Xon/Xoff flow control, and GPIO pins mapped to modem-control signals. The integrated 512-byte TX/RX FIFO per channel reduces host CPU overhead by allowing burst transfers without byte-level servicing.

Typical applications include industrial USB-to-RS232/RS422/RS485 adapters, point-of-sale terminals, barcode scanners, GPS modules, embedded debug consoles, and any MCU/MPU that requires a USB device port without an on-chip USB controller. The wide industrial temperature range (-40C to +85C) and small 5x5 mm QFN footprint allow placement in compact, thermally-constrained enclosures.

When designing with this part, place the 12 MHz crystal or external clock source within 5 mm of the XI/XO pins and keep the D+/D- traces as a 90-ohm differential pair routed directly to the USB connector. Use the internal LDO for 5V-only supplies, but bypass the internal regulator when a clean external 3.3V rail is available to reduce internal power dissipation.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes that the manufacturer datasheet does not present in a single view.

典型应用

XR21B1420IL28-F 适用于 6 应用s: Industrial USB-to-RS232 Adapter, Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Connectivity, Barcode Scanner USB Interface, GPS Module USB Debug Console, Embedded Debug Console for MCUs, USB-to-RS422/RS485 Industrial Bridge.

🏭

Industrial USB-to-RS232 Adapter

The XR21B1420IL28-F is a strong match for industrial USB-to-RS232 adapters because it integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed PHY, full modem-control signals (RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR/DCD/RI), and a 512-byte FIFO per direction that offloads the host MCU. The -40C to +85C industrial temperature rating enables deployment in factory cabinets and outdoor enclosures. A typical design powers the chip from 5V through its internal regulator, eliminating the need for an external 3.3V LDO and reducing BOM cost by roughly $0.10-$0.20 per adapter.

🏭

Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Connectivity

POS terminals require reliable USB connectivity to cash drawers, barcode scanners, and customer displays, and the XR21B1420IL28-F provides a single-chip bridge between a USB host port and any legacy UART peripheral. The 12 Mbps USB Full-Speed data rate is more than sufficient for barcode data streams, magnetic-stripe readers, and printer handshakes, while the integrated 3.3V LDO simplifies the power tree in slim POS enclosures. The small 5x5 mm QFN footprint leaves room for additional USB ports on the same PCB.

🏭

Barcode Scanner USB Interface

Handheld and fixed-mount barcode scanners typically expose a TTL UART to their host PCB and require USB device connectivity, which is exactly the role the XR21B1420IL28-F is designed for. The 512-byte TX/RX FIFOs absorb burst scans of up to several KB without dropping characters, while hardware RTS/CTS flow control prevents overruns when the scanner reads 1D/2D codes at high scan rates. The industrial temperature range supports freezer-cooler and outdoor scanning environments.

🌐

GPS Module USB Debug Console

GPS receiver modules and telematics hardware commonly expose an NMEA-0183 stream over a 3.3V TTL UART, and the XR21B1420IL28-F bridges that stream to a host computer over USB without an external transceiver. The internal 3.3V LDO can power the GPS module directly when the system runs on 5V, eliminating a separate regulator. NMEA streams at 115200 baud with periodic bursts require only a few bytes of FIFO, but the deeper FIFOs prevent loss during host CPU interrupts.

🖥️

Embedded Debug Console for MCUs

Many ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V development boards expose a debug console through a UART, and the XR21B1420IL28-F provides a USB-to-UART bridge with industrial temperature support for evaluation and production boards. The VBUS-present detection pin allows the host MCU to detect USB connection state without additional glue logic. The QFN-28 footprint is small enough to fit alongside QFP-48 and QFP-64 MCU targets on a 4-layer debug board.

🌐

USB-to-RS422/RS485 Industrial Bridge

When paired with an external RS-422/RS-485 line transceiver, the XR21B1420IL28-F becomes a USB-to-industrial-bus bridge suitable for factory automation, building-automation, and BMS networks. The modem-control signals drive driver-enable lines for half-duplex RS-485 with direction turnaround in microseconds, and the industrial temperature rating allows deployment in unheated control cabinets. The 12 Mbps USB Full-Speed rate is the bottleneck for multi-drop RS-485 baud rates above 1 Mbps.

What is the XR21B1420IL28-F?
The XR21B1420IL28-F is a MaxLinear single-channel USB 2.0 Full-Speed to UART bridge IC with 512-byte TX/RX FIFOs, integrated 3.3V LDO, and modem-control signals, packaged in a 28-QFN (5x5 mm). According to the MaxLinear datasheet, it lets a USB host communicate with a legacy UART peripheral using only a USB cable and supports 5/6/7/8 data bits, hardware and Xon/Xoff flow control, and programmable VID/PID.
What is the maximum USB data rate of XR21B1420IL28-F?
The XR21B1420IL28-F supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed operation with a 12 Mbps signaling speed. This rate is sufficient for UART baud rates up to roughly 1 Mbps and is the standard for legacy USB-to-serial bridge use cases, although it is slower than USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) and USB 3.x.
What is the FIFO depth of the XR21B1420IL28-F?
The XR21B1420IL28-F integrates a 512-byte transmit FIFO and a 512-byte receive FIFO per channel. The deep FIFOs let the host CPU service transfers in bursts rather than byte-by-byte, lowering interrupt overhead and improving effective throughput on small embedded processors such as ARM Cortex-M MCUs.
What supply voltage does the XR21B1420IL28-F require?
The XR21B1420IL28-F accepts a single 3.3 V or 5 V supply. When powered from 5 V, an internal 3.3 V LDO generates the rail required by the USB PHY, so no external 3.3 V source is needed. When powered from a clean external 3.3 V rail, the internal regulator can be bypassed to reduce on-chip dissipation.
What is the operating temperature range of XR21B1420IL28-F?
The XR21B1420IL28-F is rated for -40 C to +85 C operation, which is the standard industrial temperature range. This makes the device suitable for industrial enclosures, outdoor cabinets, point-of-sale terminals, and other equipment that must survive non-climate-controlled environments.
Where can I buy the XR21B1420IL28-F online?
The XR21B1420IL28-F is available in stock at authorized distributors including DigiKey (MaxLinear part 5080590) and Mouser, with pricing starting around $3.42 per unit at qty 1 as of 2026-10-11. LCSC Electronics also lists the part at approximately $1.21 with active inventory. Always confirm lead time and authorized-channel authenticity before procurement.

According to the verified distributor listings, the XR21B1420IL28-F ships from stock at DigiKey and Mouser as of 2026-10-11, meaning same-day or next-day dispatch for small orders. Volume orders above 1000 units may require 4-8 weeks lead time depending on factory allocation; consult MaxLinear directly for production scheduling.
XR21B1420IL28-F vs FT232RL - which is better for industrial USB-to-UART designs?
The XR21B1420IL28-F and FTDI FT232RL both implement USB-to-UART bridging, but the XR21B1420 ships in a smaller 5x5 mm 28-QFN, integrates a 3.3V LDO for 5V-only supplies, and offers 512-byte FIFOs versus the FT232RL's 256-byte FIFOs. The FT232RL has a longer market track record and broader driver support across legacy operating systems; choose FT232RL when driver compatibility is critical, and choose XR21B1420 when board area and industrial temperature range matter most.
What is the difference between XR21B1420IL28-F and XR21B1420IL28TR-F?
The XR21B1420IL28-F and XR21B1420IL28TR-F share identical silicon and the same 28-QFN (5x5 mm) package, differing only in packaging orientation: the IL28-F is supplied in tray packaging and the IL28TR-F is supplied on tape and reel for high-speed SMT lines. According to the FindIC cross-reference, both are functionally identical and the terminals and packages are consistent, so the IL28TR-F is a drop-in alternative with no circuit modification required.
When should I choose XR21B1420IL28-F over CP2102N?
Choose XR21B1420IL28-F when your design needs the 28-QFN footprint, single 5V supply with internal LDO, 512-byte TX/RX FIFOs, and industrial -40C to +85C temperature range. Choose CP2102N-A01-GQFN24R when a smaller 24-QFN is acceptable and Silicon Labs' driver ecosystem is preferred. Per the MaxLinear cross-reference tool, the two are functional alternatives, not pin-compatible - the CP2102N is in a different package, so PCB rework is required.
What is the best drop-in replacement for XR21B1420IL28-F?
The best drop-in replacement for the XR21B1420IL28-F is the MaxLinear XR21B1420IL28TR-F, which uses the same 28-QFN (5x5 mm) package and identical silicon, differing only in tape-and-reel vs tray packaging. Per the FindIC cross-reference, both are pin-to-pin compatible with no circuit modification required. The IL28TR-F is the recommended substitute when production is moving to SMT assembly lines.
Where can I download the XR21B1420IL28-F datasheet PDF?
The official XR21B1420IL28-F datasheet PDF can be downloaded directly from MaxLinear at https://www.maxlinear.com/ds/xr21b1420.pdf. The document covers USB 2.0 Full-Speed compliance, UART configuration, electrical characteristics, the 28-QFN pinout, and reference schematics. Mirror copies are also available at alldatasheet.net and Avaq for convenience.
Where can I find the XR21B1420IL28-F pinout?
The XR21B1420IL28-F pinout is documented in the official MaxLinear datasheet, in Section 3, Pin Configuration and Function Descriptions. The 28-QFN package assigns USB D+/D-, XI/XO clock pins, UART TX/RX/RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR/DCD/RI, VBUS/VCC/GND, and several GPIO pins to specific pin numbers; refer to the package diagram for the recommended land layout.
Is XR21B1420IL28-F the same as CP2102N?
No, the XR21B1420IL28-F and Silicon Labs CP2102N are not the same part. They are functionally similar USB-to-UART bridges, but the XR21B1420 ships in a 28-QFN (5x5 mm) while the CP2102N uses a 24-QFN, so the footprints differ and PCB rework is required for substitution. Both support USB 2.0 Full-Speed, 3.3V/5V operation, and standard UART signaling, but pin-compatibility is not present.

选型指南

Choose XR21B1420IL28-F when you need a single-channel USB-to-UART bridge with 5x5 mm QFN footprint, 512-byte FIFOs, integrated 3.3V LDO, and industrial -40C to +85C operation for factory, POS, scanner, or embedded debug designs. Choose XR21B1420IL28TR-F (drop-in tray-vs-reel alternative) when moving to SMT assembly lines. Step up to XR21B1421IL28-F when USB charger detection or additional GPIO is needed; otherwise the base part is the most cost-effective option for standard USB-to-UART bridging. For designs where a smaller 24-QFN footprint and Silicon Labs' driver ecosystem outweigh the need for the integrated LDO, evaluate CP2102N (but expect PCB rework since it is not pin-compatible).

  • Industrial -40C to +85C operating temperature (对比 CP2102N)

设计说明

Route the USB D+ and D- traces as a 90-ohm differential pair with continuous ground reference directly to the USB connector. Keep the pair length matched to within 2 mm and avoid routing near switching power or RF traces to preserve USB 2.0 Full-Speed signal integrity. Place the 12 MHz crystal or external clock source within 5 mm of the XI and XO pins, and guard the traces with a ground pour to minimize EMI pickup.

When powering from a single 5V rail, the integrated 3.3V LDO automatically generates the USB PHY rail; no external 3.3V regulator is required. Add a 1 uF X7R bypass capacitor on VDD33 close to the IC and a 10 uF bulk capacitor on VCC for USB inrush transients. When a clean external 3.3V rail is available, route it directly to VDD33 to bypass the internal regulator and reduce on-chip power dissipation at high VBUS current draw.

Do not leave the TEST pin floating; tie TEST low in production to disable the factory test mode. Verify that USB D+/D- traces do not cross over plane splits, which can cause impedance discontinuities and fail USB compliance. Ensure the host-side driver stack supports the programmable VID/PID configuration, since custom VID/PID values may not match default OS drivers without an INF file or driver package.
