MPC8260 PowerQUICC II Family Reference Manual, Rev. 2
IV-2 Freescale Semiconductor
Chapter 23, “SCC BISYNC Mode,” describes the PowerQUICC II implementation of
byte-oriented BISYNC protocol developed by IBM for use in networking products.
Chapter 24, “SCC Transparent Mode,” describes the PowerQUICC II implementation of
transparent mode (also called totally transparent mode), which provides a clear channel on which
the SCC can send or receive serial data without bit-level manipulation.
Chapter 25, “SCC Ethernet Mode,” describes the PowerQUICC II implementation of Ethernet
protocol.
Chapter 26, “SCC AppleTalk Mode,” describes the PowerQUICC II implementation of AppleTalk.
Chapter 27, “Serial Management Controllers (SMCs),” describes two serial management
controllers, full-duplex ports that can be configured independently to support one of three
protocols—UART, transparent, or general-circuit interface (GCI).
Chapter 28, “Multi-Channel Controllers (MCCs),” describes the PowerQUICC II’s multi-channel
controller (MCC), which handles up to 128 serial, full-duplex data channels.
Chapter 29, “Fast Communications Controllers (FCCs),” describes the PowerQUICC II’s fast
communications controllers (FCCs), which are SCCs optimized for synchronous high-rate
protocols.
Chapter 30, “ATM Controller and AAL0, AAL1, and AAL5,” describes the PowerQUICCII ATM
controller, which provides the ATM and AAL layers of the ATM protocol. The ATM controller
performs segmentation and reassembly (SAR) functions of AAL5, AAL1, and AAL0, and most of
the common parts convergence sublayer (CP-CS) of these protocols.
Chapter 31, “ATM AAL1 Circuit Emulation Service,” describes the implementation of circuit
emulation service (CES) using ATM adaptation layer type 1 (AAL1) on the PowerQUICC II.
Chapter 32, “ATM AAL2,” describes the functionality and data structures of ATM adaptation layer
type 2 (AAL2) CPS, CPS switching, and SSSAR.
Chapter 33, “Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA),” describes specifications for the inverse
multiplexing for ATM (IMA) microcode.
Chapter 34, “ATM Transmission Convergence Layer,” describes how the PowerQUICC II can
support applications which receive ATM traffic over the standard serial protocols like E1, T1, and
xDSL via its serial interface (SIx TDMx and NMSI) ports because of its internally implemented
TC-layer functionality.
Chapter 35, “Fast Ethernet Controller,” describes the PowerQUICC II’s implementation of the
Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol.
Chapter 36, “FCC HDLC Controller,” describes the FCC implementation of the HDLC protocol.
Chapter 37, “FCC Transparent Controller,” describes the FCC implementation of the transparent
protocol.
Chapter 38, “Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI),” describes the serial peripheral interface, which
allows the PowerQUICC II to exchange data between other PowerQUICC II chips, the MC68360,
the MC68302, the M68HC11, and M68HC05 microcontroller families, and peripheral devices
such as EEPROMs, real-time clocks, A/D converters, and ISDN devices.
Chapter 39, “I2C Controller,” describes the PowerQUICCII implementation of the inter-integrated
circuit (I2C®) controller, which allows data to be exchanged with other I2C devices, such as
microcontrollers, EEPROMs, real-time clock devices, and A/D converters.
