20.1 Features
The following is a list of the main SCC features. (Performance figures assume a 25-MHz system clock.)
Implements HDLC/SDLC, HDLC bus, synchronous start/stop, asynchronous start/stop (UART),
AppleTalk/LocalTalk, and totally transparent protocols
Supports 10-Mbps Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 (half- or full-duplex) on all SCCs
Additional protocols may be available through the use of RAM-based microcodes. Please contact
your Freescale sales office.
DPLL circuitry for clock recovery with NRZ, NRZI, FM0, FM1, Manchester, and Differential
Manchester (also known as Differential Bi-phase-L)
Clocks can be derived from a baud rate generator, an external pin, or DPLL
Data rate for asynchronous communication can be as high as 16.62 Mbps at 133MHz
Supports automatic control of the RTS, CTS, and CD modem signals
Multi-buffer data structure for receive and send (the number of buffer descriptors (BDs) is limited
only by the size of the internal dual-port RAM—8 bytes per BD)
Deep FIFOs (SCC transmit and receive FIFOs are 32 bytes e ach.)
Transmit-on-demand feature decreases time to frame transmission (transmit latency)
Low FIFO latency option for send and receive in character-oriented and totally transparent
protocols
