Overview
1.3
The eTSECs include the following features:
1.4
The integrated programmable interrupt controller (IPIC) implements the necessary functions to provide a
flexible solution for general-purpose interrupt control. The IPIC programming model is compatible with
the MPC8260 interrupt controller, and it supports 8 external and 34 internal discrete interrupt sources.
Interrupts can also be redirected to an external interrupt controller.
1.5
The power management controller includes the following features:
1.6
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) allows the device to exchange data between other PowerQUICC
family chips, Ethernet PHYs for configuration, and peripheral devices such as EEPROMs, real-time
clocks, A/D converters, and ISDN devices.
The SPI is a full-duplex, synchronous, character-oriented channel that supports a four-wire interface
(receive, transmit, clock, and slave select). The SPI block consists of transmitter and receiver sections, an
independent baud-rate generator, and a control unit.
1.7
The device provides an integrated four-channel DMA controller with the following features:
