9 SCC General Information

The Serial Communications Controller (SCC) is a dual channel, multi-protocol data communications peripheral. The MPAP-100 provides a single channel for communications, however, portions of the second channel can be utilized to support some special circumstances. The SCC can be configured to satisfy a wide variety of serial communications applications. Some of its protocol capabilities include:

SDLC/HDLC (Bit Synchronous) Communications

￿Abort sequence generation and checking

￿Automatic zero insertion and deletion

￿Automatic flag insertion between messages

￿Address field recognition

￿I-field residue handling

￿CRC generation and detection

￿SDLC loop mode with EOP recognition/loop entry and exit

Byte-oriented Synchronous Communications

￿Internal/external character synchronization

￿1 or 2 sync characters in separate registers

￿Automatic Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) generation/detection

Asynchronous Communications

￿5, 6, 7, or 8 bits per character

￿1, 1-1/2, or 2 stop bits

￿Odd, even, or no parity

￿Times 1, 16, 32, or 64 x clock modes

￿Break generation and detection

￿Parity, overrun and framing error detection

NRZ, NRZI, or FM encoding/decoding
