the serial interface clock route register (SICR), and the serial interface command register
(SICMR).
The MS bits select the serial interface mode on the MC68302: NMSI, IDL, GCI, and PCM
highway. On the QUICC, the choice is simply to enable or disable the time slot assigner.
Once the time slot assigner is enabled, it may be programmed in the SI RAM to implement
IDL, GCI, PCM highway, and many other options. Additionally, on the QUICC, two TDM
interfaces are simultaneously available, not just one. Thus, on the QUICC, the MS bits ef-
fectively become the two enable bits, ENa and ENb, in the SIGMR.
The MSC2 and MSC3 bits are generalized on the QUICC to the SC bits in the SICR. On
the QUICC, one SC bit exists for each SCC.
The DRB and DRA bit functions are implemented by programming the QUICC SI RAM.
The B1RB and B1RA bit functions are implemented by programming the QUICC SI RAM.
The B2RB and B2RA bit functions are implemented by programming the QUICC SI RAM.
The SDC1 and SDC2 bit functions as well as many other options are implemented by pro-
gramming the QUICC SI RAM. Note that four strobe outputs are available on the QUICC,
not just two.
The two SDIAG bits are located in the QUICC SIMODE register and are renamed the
SDM bits. Furthermore, on the QUICC, two sets of SDM bits exist to support TDMa and
TDMb.
The SYNC bit function is implemented by programming the QUICC SI RAM.
The SCIT bit function is called the GM bit in the QUICC SIMODE register, and is available
on both TDMa and TDMb.
The SETZ bit function is called the STZ bit in the QUICC SIMODE register, and is avail-
able on both TDMa and TDMb.
NOTE
The QUICC does not require the use of the L1SY0 and L1SY1
pins to synchronize the SCC to a given time slot. This is now
handled by the time slot assigner using an external frame sync.
Thus, the QUICC contains other programming options to specify
the desired behavior of the frame sync and the associated exter-
nal clocks. Examples are the FE, CE, CRT, DSC, and FSD bits
in SIMODE.
9.4 USING THE QUICC MC68040 COMPANION MODE
The following paragraphs describe how to increase the performance of a QUICC-based sys-
tem by using an MC68EC040 to replace the CPU32+ core on the QUICC. When the
CPU32+ core on the QUICC is disabled, the QUICC is in slave mode. In slave mode,
another external processor may be used instead of the on-chip CPU32+ core. The QUICC,
however, has special features for providing a glueless interface to an external MC68EC040
(or other M68040 family member). This mode is called MC68040 companion mode.
