Dual asynchronous receiver/transmitter (DUART)
Product specification
SCN68681
DESCRIPTION
The Philips Semiconductors SCN68681 Dual Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (DUART) is a single-chip
MOS-LSI communications device that provides two independent
full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter channels in a single
package. It is compatible with other S68000 family devices, and can
also interface easily with other microprocessors. The DUART can
be used in polled or interrupt driven systems.
The operating mode and data format of each channel can be
programmed independently. Additionally, each receiver and
transmitter can select its operating speed as one of eighteen fixed
baud rates, a 16X clock derived from a programmable counter/timer,
or an external 1X or 16X clock. The baud rate generator and
counter/timer can operate directly from a crystal or from external
clock inputs. The ability to independently program the operating
speed of the receiver and transmitter make the DUART particularly
attractive for dual-speed channel applications such as clustered
terminal systems.
Each receiver is quadruply buffered to minimize the potential of
receiver overrun or to reduce interrupt overhead in interrupt driven
systems. In addition, a flow control capability is provided to disable
a remote DUART transmitter when the buffer of the receiving device
is full.
Also provided on the SCN68681 are a multipurpose 6-bit input port
and a multipurpose 8-bit output port. These can be used as general
purpose I/O ports or can be assigned specific functions (such as
clock inputs or status/interrupt outputs) under program control.
