Overview
The DSCC4 is a DMA Supported Serial Communication Controller with four independent serial channels1). The serial channels are derived from updated protocol logic of the ESCC device family providing a large set of protocol support and variety in serial interface configuration. This allows easy integration to different environments and applications.

FEATUREs
Serial Communication Controllers (SCCs)
• Four independent channels
• Full duplex data rates on each channel of up to 10 Mbit/s sync - 2 Mbit/s with DPLL, 2 Mbit/s async
• Full duplex data rate of up to 52 Mbit/s on any two channels in high speed mode (HDLC: Address Mode 0 and extended transparent protocol mode); up to 45 Mbit/s on any two channels in high speed mode (HDLC: PPP modes). The aggregate bandwith for all channels is limited to 108 Mbit/s per direction.
• 17 DWORDs deep receive FIFO per SCC (+ 128 DWORDs central receive FIFO).
• 8 DWORDs deep transmit FIFO per SCC (+ 128 DWORDs central transmit FIFO).

Serial Interface
• On-chip clock generation or external clock sources
• On-chip DPLLs for clock recovery
• Baud rate generator
• Clock gating signals
• Clock gapping capability
• Programmable time-slot capability for connection to TDM interfaces (e.g. T1, E1)
• NRZ, NRZI, FM and Manchester data encoding
• Optional data flow control using modem control lines (RTS, CTS, CD)
• Support of bus configuration by collision detection and resolution
• HDLC/SDLC Protocol Modes
    – Automatic flag detection and transmission
    – Shared opening and closing flag
    – Generation of interframe-time fill ’1’s or flags
    – Detection of receive line status
    – Zero bit insertion and deletion
    – CRC generation and checking (CRC-CCITT or CRC-32)
    – Transparent CRC option per channel and/or per frame
    – Programmable Preamble (8 bit) with selectable repetition rate
    – Error detection (abort, long frame, CRC error, short frames)
• Bit Synchronous PPP Mode
    – Bit oriented transmission of HDLC frame (flag, data, CRC, flag)
    – Zero bit insertion/deletion
    – 15 consecutive ’1’ bits abort sequence
• Octet Synchronous PPP Mode
    – Octet oriented transmission of HDLC frame (flag, data, CRC, flag)
    – Programmable character map of 32 hard-wired characters (00H-1FH)
    – Four programmable characters for additional mapping
    – Insertion/deletion of control-escape character (7DH) for mapped characters
• Asynchronous PPP Mode
    – Character oriented transmission of HDLC frame (flag, data, CRC, flag)
    – Start/stop bit framing of single character
    – Programmable character map of 32 hard-wired characters (00H-1FH)
    – Four programmable characters for additional mapping
    – Insertion/deletion of control-escape character (7DH) for mapped characters
• Asynchronous (ASYNC) Protocol Mode
    – Selectable character length (5 to 8 bits)
    – Even, odd, forced or no parity generation/checking
    – 1 or 2 stop bits
    – Break detection/generation
    – In-band flow control by XON/XOFF
    – Immediate character insertion
    – Termination character detection for end of block identification
    – Time out detection
    – Error detection (parity error, framing error)
• BISYNC Protocol Mode
    – Programmable 6/8 bit SYN pattern (MONOSYNC)
    – Programmable 12/16 bit SYN pattern (BISYNC)
    – Selectable character length (5 to 8 bits)
    – Even, odd, forced or no parity generation/checking
    – Generation of interframe-time fill ’1’s or SYN characters
    – CRC generation (CRC-16 or CRC-CCITT)
    – Transparent CRC option per channel and/or per frame
