Abstract
The present invention provides a configurable architecture for serial communications. The architecture can emulate parallel to serial conversion devices for both synchronous and asynchronous data transmission. The invention uses a plurality of register sets to emulate standard interfaces. One register block performs data and control storage to communicate between a host computer and a local processor. A second register block emulates a serial communications controller (SCC) with its own data control storage and features to implement a number of communication protocols. The SCC provides serial data output. This invention provides an architecture of flexibility optimizing a configuration for synchronous and asynchronous requirements using the same basic blocks while still maintaining an interface compatible with standard requirements.
