Boost Your System Performance Using The Zilog ESCC
ESCC/SCC DIFFERENCES
The differences between the ESCC and SCC are shown
below:
1. Extended Read Enable of Write Registers
2. Hardware Improvement
3. Throughput improvement
4 SDLC End Of Frame Improvement
The differences between the ESCC and SCC are
summarized by a new register, WR7' (Figure 1).

The advantages of the new features are illustrated in the
following examples.
One of the features that is offered by the ESCC, but not the
SCC, is Extended Read Enable. Write Register values
from the WR3, WR4, WR5, WR7', and WR10 can be
examined in the ESCC but not the SCC. This feature
improves system testability. It is also crucial for
SCC/ESCC differentiation and allows generic software
structures for all SCC/ESCC devices.
Flowchart 1 (Figure 2) shows a generic software structure
applicable for all SCC/ESCC initializations. Flowchart 2
(Figure 3) suggests a method for determining which type
of SCC/ESCC™ device is in the socket. This software
structure helps the development of software drivers
independent of the device type.
- Improves Testability
- Ability to examine SDLC status on-the-fly
- Improves Interface to 80X86 CPU
- Improves Interface DMA-driven system
- Reduces TBE Interrupt Frequency by 3/4
- Reduces RCA Interrupt Frequency by 3/4
- Flexibility in Adapting CPU Workload
- Reduces CPU and DMA Controller Overhead after
- Allows Optimal SDLC Line Utilization
