Appendix B-14 MSC8101 User’s Guide
Glossary
SCC
Serial communications controller. The MSC8101 has four SCCs,
which can be configured independently to implement different
protocols for bridging functions, routers, and gateways and to
interface with a wide variety of standard WANs, LANs, and
proprietary networks. An SCC offers many physical interface options,
such as interfacing to TDM buses, ISDN buses, and standard modem
interfaces. The SCCs are independent from the physical interface, but
SCC logic formats and manipulates data from the physical interface.
Furthermore, the choice of protocol is independent from the choice of
interface. An SCC is described in terms of the protocol it runs. When
an SCC is programmed to a certain protocol or mode, it implements
functionality that corresponds to parts of the protocol’s link layer
(layer 2 of the OSI reference model). See also CPM and FCC.
SDMA
Serial DMA. The MSC8101 has two physical SDMA channels. The
CP implements many dedicated virtual SDMA channels for each
FCC, MCC, SCC, SMC, SPI, and I
2
C—one for each transmitter and
receiver. Each channel is permanently assigned to service either the
receive or transmit operation of an FCC, MCC, SCC, SMC, SPI, or
I
2
C. On the MSC8101, the SDMA makes it possible for local
PowerPC bus transfers to occur at the same time as other operations
on the external PowerPC system bus. The SDMA channel can be
assigned a big-endian (Motorola) or little-endian format for accessing
buffer data. These features are programmed in the receive and
transmit registers associated with the FCCs, MCCs, SCCs, SMCs,
SPI, and I
2
C. See also CPM and IDMA.
SDRAM
A type of DRAM that can deliver bursts of data at very high speeds
using a synchronous interface.
set
To write a non-zero value to a bit or bit field; the opposite of clear.
The term set can also more generally describe the updating of a bit or
bit field.
SI
Serial interface. On the MSC8101, there are actually two serial
interfaces (SI1 and SI2).The “1” and “2” at the end of the TDM names
indicates which serial interface (SI) they belong to: SI1 or SI2. The
MSC8101 has one TDM from SI1 (TDMA1) and three from SI2
(TDMB2, TDMC2, TDMD2). The MSC8101 TDM interfaces are
split up between SI1 and SI2 to allow for higher system performance.
See also TDM.
