DP8344B Biphase Communications Processor BCP
General Description
The DP8344B BCP is a communications processor de-
signed to efficiently process IBM
communications protocols A general purpose 8-bit protocol
is also supported
The BCP integrates a 20 MHz 8-bit Harvard architecture
RISC processor and an intelligent software-configurable
transceiver on the same low power microCMOS chip The
transceiver is capable of operating without significant proc-
essor interaction releasing processor power for other tasks
Fast and flexible interrupt and subroutine capabilities with
on-chip stacks make this power readily available
The transceiver is mapped into the processor’s register
space communicating with the processor via an asynchro-
nous interface which enables both sections of the chip to
run from different clock sources The transmitter and receiv-
er run at the same basic clock frequency although the re-
ceiver extracts a clock from the incoming data stream to
ensure timing accuracy
The BCP is designed to stand alone and is capable of imple-
menting a complete communications interface using the
processor’s spare power to control the complete system
Alternatively the BCP can be interfaced to another proces-
sor with an on-chip interface controller arbitrating access to
data memory Access to program memory is also possible
providing the ability to download BCP code
A simple line interface connects the BCP to the communica-
tions line The receiver includes an on-chip analog compar-
ator suitable for use in a transformer-coupled environment
