I'm encountering an issue when operating UART 4 at elevated temperatures. The part I am using is S6E2HG6G0AGV20000 which is rated to 125 degrees C. UART 4 on this chip is on pins 5 and 6 and hardware flow control is disabled. When the microcontroller temperature gets to about 70 degrees C the UART 4 transmit/receive operation starts to fail. I am also operating UART 0, 1, and 2 at the same time but those UARTs continue to operate as normal at elevated temperatures.
Has anybody encountered this issue or knows what the possible root cause could be?

Hi,
Possibly the operation temperature is too high.
Do you refer to the "13.2 Recommended Operating Conditions" in the device datasheet for debugging the problem? Note, the 125 degrees C is the maximum Junction temp, which is not directly measurable usually.
Anyway, 70 ℃ (Ambient temp) is at the edge of over temp if the Pd(Power dissipation) is high, to debug this, you may check if the problem is consistent with UART 4 on the other board if you have, or lower the Pd(shutdown some other functions of the device) to see if UART 4 can work at the same temp.
