Serial Ports, Parallel Printer Port | Motorola MVME187 specification

General Description

Serial Ports

The serial ports support standard baud rates of 110 to 38.4K baud.

	Serial	Function	Synchronous/	Signals	Bit Rates
	Port	Function	Asynchronous	Signals	Bit Rates
	Port		Asynchronous

	1	Minimum	Asynchronous	RXD, CTS, TXD, and RTS

	2
	and	Full	Asynchronous	RXD, CTS, DCD, TXD, RTS,
	3			and DTR

	4	Full	Both	RXD, CTS, DCD, TXD, RTS,	Synchronous up
				and DTR	to 64 k bits per
					second

All four serial ports use EIA-232-D drivers and receivers located on the main board, and all the signal lines are routed to the I/O connector.

A functional description of the Serial Port Interface starts on page 2-18.

Parallel (Printer) Port

The 8-bit bidirectional parallel port may be used as a Centronics- compatible parallel printer port or as a general parallel I/O port.

A functional description of the Parallel Port Interface starts on page 2-20.

Ethernet Transceiver Interface

The Ethernet transceiver interface is located on the MVME187, and the industry standard connector is located on the MVME712X transition module.

A functional description of the Ethernet Interface starts on page 2-21.
