TIP360

Quad Integrated Communication IP based on MC68360

Application Information

The TIP360 is an IndustryPack

 compatible module with

a serial communication I/O interface using the Motorola

MC68360 Quad Integrated Communication Processor

running at 25 MHz.

The MC68360 contains a CPU32 core processor, a micro

coded RISC communication processor, 14 serial DMA

channels, two independent DMAs, 4 general purpose

timers, an interrupt controller, 4 independent full-duplex

serial communication controllers

(SCCs), two Serial

Management Controllers (SMCs)

and 2.5 kbytes Dual-

Port of internal RAM.

The TIP360 provides TTL level interface for all 4 SCC’s of

the MC68360 at the IP I/O connector. A variety of physical

layer standards, such as RS232, RS422, RS485, ISDN or

IEEE802.3/Ethernet can be supported by the use of

custom transition modules.

Internal microcode in the MC68360 supports a variety of

protocols, such as

BISYNC, HDLC, SDLC, UART,

DDCMP, AppleTalk, Signaling System #7, Profibus, ATM,

V.14,

X.21,

ISDN

and

totally

transparent

modes.

The TIP360 provides additional to the internal RAM

256 kbyte of SRAM, 256 kbyte of Flash memory, 2 Mbytes

of “DRAM” (realized with SRAM and on board logic to

maintain existing 68360 board configuration) as dual-port

memory. Select SRAM or Flash memory as boot memory

by switching a control register. The code is downloaded to

the SRAM or Flash memory by the IP host CPU prior to

removing the MC68360 reset signal by writing to a control

register. Once the MC68360 reset signal is removed, the

MC68360 starts fetching code from boot memory.

The SRAM, Flash memory, DRAM, the MC68360 registers

and the MC68360 on-chip RAM are accessible by the

MC68360 and the IP host CPU by arbitration. The local

bus arbitration is transparent to the IP host CPU.

Both the IP host CPU and the MC68360 are capable of

generating interrupts to each other.
