DESCRIPTION
The Philips Semiconductors SCN2681 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. The SCN2681T features a faster bus cycle time than the
standard SCN2681. The quick bus cycle eliminates or reduces the
need for wait states with fast CPUs and permits high throughput in
I/O intensive systems. Higher external clock rates may be used with
the transmitter, receiver and counter timer which in turn provide
greater versatility in baud rate generation. The SCN2681T interfaces
directly with microprocessors and may be used in a polled or
interrupt driven system.
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 quadruple buffered to minimize the potential of
receiver over-run 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 receiver buffer is full.
Also provided on the SCN2681T are a multipurpose 7-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.
For a complete functional description and programming information
for the SCN2681T, refer to the SCN2681 product specification.
