UART IP

Description

The DUART is one of the tiniest UART IP Cores available on the market. The DUART is a soft core of a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART). It performs serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM, and parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters received from the CPU. The CPU can read the complete status of the UART at any time during the functional operation. Status information reported includes the type and condition of the transfer operations being performed by the UART, as well as any error conditions (overrun, framing). The DμART includes a programmable baud rate generator that is capable of dividing the timing reference clock input by divisors of 1 to (216-1), and producing a 16 × clock for driving the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are also included to use this 16 × clock to drive the receiver logic. The DμART has processor-interrupt system. Interrupts can be programmed to the user's requirements, minimizing the computing required to handle the communications link. The core is perfect for applications, where the UART Core and microcontroller are clocked by the same clock signal and are implemented inside the same ASIC or FPGA chip, as well as for standalone implementation, where several UARTs are required to be implemented inside a single chip, and driven by some off-chip devices.

26C92 IP

Description

The D26C92 is a Dual UART Core software compatible with the SC26C92, SCC2692 and SCN2681 with added features and deeper FIFOs. It contains: 8 character receiver, 8 character transmit FIFOs, WATCH dog timer for each receiver, mode register 0, extended baud rate, programmable receiver and transmitter interrupts. The D26C92 Dual Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (DUART) is a communication device that provides two full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter channels in a single package. It interfaces directly with microprocessors and may be used in a polled or interrupt driven system, furthermore provides modem and DMA interface. 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 27 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 UART particularlyattractive for dual-speed channel applications such as clustered terminal systems.

16950-UART IP

Description

The D16950 is a soft core of a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), functionally identical to the OX16C950. It allows serial transmission in two modes: UART and FIFO. In the FIFO mode, internal FIFOs are activated, allowing 128 bytes (plus 3 bits of error data per byte in the RCVR FIFO) to be stored in both receive and transmit modes. Our efficient Core performs a serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM, but also parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters received from the CPU. The processor can read a complete status of the UART at any time during the functional operation. Status information reported includes the type and condition of transfer operations being performed by the UART, as well as any error conditions (parity, overrun, framing or break interrupt). The D16950 includes a programmable baud rate GENERATOR, which is capable to divide the timing reference clock input by divisors of 1 to (216-1) and produce a n × clock for driving the internal transmitter logic. Provisions are also included to use this n × clock to drive the receiver logic. We also equipped our core with a complete MODEM-control capability and a processor-interrupt system. Interrupts can be programmed in accordance to your requirements, minimizing computing required to handle the communications link. The D16950 core includes all (16450, 16550, 16650 and 16750) features and additional functions. The D16950 has ICR registers, which give additional capabilities of UART work configuration. The data transmission may be synchronized by an external clock connected to the RI (for receiver and transmitter) or the DSR (only for receiver) pin. The NMR register allows to enable a 9-bit mode transmission, with or without special character. Writing and reading from/to FIFO may be controlled by trigger level registers. Trigger level registers may be set any value from 1 to 127. In the FIFO mode, there is a selectable autoflow control feature, that can significantly reduce software overload and automatically increase the system efficiency, by controlling serial data flow, through the RTS output and the CTS input signals. The Core is perfect for applications, where the UART core and the microcontroller are clocked by the same clock signal and are implemented inside the same ASIC or FPGA chip. Nevertheless, it's also a proprietary solution for a standalone implementation, where several UARTs are required to be implemented inside a single chip and driven by some off-chip devices. Thanks to a universal interface, the D16950 core implementation and verification are very simple, just by eliminating a number of clock trees in the complete system. As all our UART Cores, the D16950 includes fully automated testbench with complete set of tests, allowing easy package validation at each stage of SoC design flow. This efficient solution is a technology independent design, that can be implemented in a variety of process technologies.
