4 Hardware Interface
iChip CO661AL-S may interface a host CPU in one of two methods: Serial or Parallel.
The actual interface depends on the state of the –SER/PAR pin.
4.1 Serial Host Interface
The host interface is a serial DTE interface. Speeds of 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200 and 230400 bps are supported in the following data format:
All host serial input signals (RXDH, -CTSH, -DSRH) are 5V tolerant.
4.2 Parallel Host Interface
In Parallel interface mode, iChip connects to a host CPU through a parallel interface
using a PAL (i.e., Altera “EPM7032AEC44”). The host parallel BUS may be an 80x86
(Intel) or a 68K (Motorola) BUS. With some small changes to the PAL, the user may
customize an interface to any other BUS architecture. iChip is connected to the interface
PAL through the following signals:

buffer is empty and iChip may send additional data to host. When iChip
sends a data byte, this signal goes LOW until the host reads the data.
Parallel Input Buffer Full. When HIGH, indicates that the input buffer is
full and iChip may read a data byte from the host. When iChip reads the
data byte, this signal goes LOW.
