Asynchronous Serial Ports

Functional Description

 

 

4.17Asynchronous Serial Ports

The CPCI-6020 provides two 16550 compatible asynchronous serial interfaces, COM1 and COM2. The COM1 port signals are wired to the front panel RJ-45 connector and it may optionally be wired to the backplane via J5 instead. The COM2 port is wired to the J5 connector only.

COM1 is routed to an RJ-45 connector located at the rear panel of the CPCI-6020-MCPTM-01. COM2 can be accessed by a planar 9-pin header on transition module. The COM2 signals are also wired to PMC I/O connector for possible access through PMC I/O module.

4.18Synchronous Serial Ports

The two synchronous ports, C0M3 and COM4, are implemented with the Z85230 ESCC on CPCI-6020. Since the Z85230 does not have all modem control lines, a Z8536 CIO is used to provide the missing modem lines. All modem control lines from the ESCC are multiplexed/de- multiplexed through J3 by the P2MX function due to I/O pin limitations.

This hardware function is transparent to software. The block diagram for the signal multiplexing on the CPCI-6020-MCPTM-01 is shown in the following figure:

4.19I/O Signal Multiplexing (IOMUX)

The IOMUX function is implemented on the CPCI-6020-MCPTM-01 using a PLD. A similar device exists on the CPCI-6020. There are four pins that are used for the IOMX function: MXCLK, MXSYNC#, MXDO and MXDI. MXCLK is the 10 MHz bit clock for the time-multiplexed data lines MXDO and MXDI. MXSYNC# is asserted for one bit time at Time Slot 15 by the CPCI-
