Universal Serial Interface Channel Modules (USIC)
The XC236xB features the USIC modules USIC0, USIC1, USIC2. Each module provides
two serial communication channels.
The Universal Serial Interface Channel (USIC) module is based on a generic data shift
and data storage structure which is identical for all supported serial communication
protocols. Each channel supports complete full-duplex operation with a basic data buffer
structure (one transmit buffer and two receive buffer stages). In addition, the data
handling software can use FIFOs.
The protocol part (generation of shift clock/data/control signals) is independent of the
general part and is handled by protocol-specific preprocessors (PPPs).
The USIC’s input/output lines are connected to pins by a pin routing unit. The inputs and
outputs of each USIC channel can be assigned to different interface pins, providing great
flexibility to the application software. All assignments can be made during runtime.

The regular structure of the USIC module brings the following advantages:
• Higher flexibility through configuration with same look-and-feel for data management
• Reduced complexity for low-level drivers serving different protocols
• Wide range of protocols with improved performances (baud rate, buffer handling)
