The Zilog Serial Communication Controllers (SCC) can support multiple channel and multiple protocols that easily interface to 8/16 bit addressable non-multiplexed address/data buses. The SCC can be configured to satisfy a wide variety of serial communications applications. On-chip features include baud rate generators, digital PLLs, and crystal oscillators to reduce external logic. Additional features may include optimized FIFOs to support high speed SDLC transfers using DMA controllers.

The SCC handles asynchronous formats, synchronous byte-oriented protocols and synchronous bit-oriented protocols. The SCC can generate and check CRC codes in any synchronous mode and can be programmed to check data integrity in various modes. The SCC also has facilities for modem controls in both channels. In applications where these controls are not needed, the modem controls can be used for general-purpose I/O.

Zilog SCC’s are designed for use in multiple applications for your serial communication needs
