• Manufacturer: Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC)

440EPx – PPC440EPx Embedded Processor
Serial Ports (UART)
Features include:
IIC Bus Controller
Features include:
Serial Peripheral Controller (SPI/SCP)
The Serial Peripheral Interface (also known as the Serial Communications Port) is a full-duplex, synchronous,
character-oriented (byte) port that allows the exchange of data with other serial devices. The SCP is a master on
the serial port supporting a 3-wire interface (receive, transmit, and clock), and is a slave on the OPB.
Features include:
Universal Serial Bus 2.0 (USB)
The USB 2.0 interface provides both device and host support. One interface provides host or device support and
operates through an internal PHY. The other interface provides device support only through the UTMI interface
with no internal PHY.
