The receive data source can be L1RXD if the SMC is connected to a TDM channel of an SIx, or SMRXD

if it is connected to the NMSI. The transmit data source can be L1TXD if the SMC is connected to a TDM

or SMTXD if it is connected to the NMSI.

If the SMC is connected to a TDM, the SMC receive and transmit clocks can be independent from each

other, as defined in Chapter 15, “Serial Interface with Time-Slot Assigner.” However, if the SMC is

connected to the NMSI, receive and transmit clocks must be connected to a single clock source (SMCLK),

an internal signal name for a clock generated from the bank of clocks. SMCLK originates from an external

signal or one of the four internal baud rate generators.

An SMC connected to a TDM derives a synchronization pulse from the TSA. An SMC connected to the

NMSI using transparent protocol can use SMSYN for synchronization to determine when to start a

transfer. SMSYN is not used when the SMC is in UART mode.

Features

The following is a list of the SMC’s main features:

•

Each SMC can implement the UART protocol on its own signals

•

Each SMC can implement a totally transparent protocol on a multiplexed or nonmultiplexed line.

This mode can also be used for a fast connection between MPC8280s.

•

Each SMC channel fully supports the C/I and monitor channels of the GCI (IOM-2) in ISDN

applications

•

Two SMCs support the two sets of C/I and monitor channels in the SCIT channels 0 and 1

•

Full-duplex operation

•

Local loopback and echo capability for testing

Common SMC Settings and Configurations

The following sections describe settings and configurations that are common to the SMCs.

28.2.1

SMC Mode Registers (SMCMR1/SMCMR2)

The SMC mode registers (SMCMR1 and SMCMR2), shown in Figure 28-2, selects the SMC mode as well

as mode-specific parameters. The functions of SMCMR[8–15] are the same for each protocol. Bits 0–7

vary according to protocol selected by the SM bits.
