CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW
Host Interface
The Host interface is comprised of the signal pins CEN, W/RN,
IACKN, DACKN, IRQN Sclk and provides all the control for data
transfer between the external and internal data buses of the host
and the QUART. The host interface operates in a synchronous mode
with the system (Sclk) which has been designed for a nominal
operating frequency of 33 MHz. The interface operates in either of
two modes;
synchronous
or
asynchronous
to the Sclk However
the bus cycle within the QUART
always
takes place in four Sclk
cycles after CEN is recognized. These four cycles are the C1, C2,
C3, C4 periods shown in the timing diagrams. DACKN always
occurs in the C4 time and occurs approximately 18 ns after the
rising edge of C4.
Addressing of the various functions of the QUART is through the
address bus A(7:0). To maintain upward compatibility with the
SC28L/C198 Octart the 8 bit address is still defined as such.
However A(6) is NOT used and is internally connected to Vss
(ground). The pin is, therefore, not included in the pin diagram. The
address space is controlled by A(5:0) and A(7). A[7], in a general
sense, is used to separate the data portion of the circuit from the
control portion.

Timing Circuits
The timing block consists of a crystal oscillator, a fixed baud rate
generator (BRG), a pair of programmable 16 bit register based
counters. A buffer for the System Clock generates internal timing for
processes not directly concerned with serial data flow.
Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator operates directly from a crystal, tuned between
1.0 and 8.0 MHz, connected across the X1/CCLK and X2 inputs with
a minimum of external components. BRG values listed for the clock
select registers correspond to a 3.6864 MHz crystal frequency. Use
of a 7.3728 MHz crystal will double the Communication Clock
frequencies.
An external clock in the 100 KHz to 10 MHz frequency range may
be connected to X1/CCLK. If an external clock is used instead of a
crystal, X1/CCLK
must
be driven and X2 left floating. The X1 clock
serves as the basic timing reference for the baud rate generator
(BRG) and is available to the BRG timers. The X1 oscillator input
