MOTOROLA
Part V. The Communications Processor Module
Traditionally, Centronics transfers have been one-way from the host to a peripheral device,
but new standards like IEEE P1284 allow bidirectional transfers. With software to allow
switching between receive and transmit modes, the PIP can support bidirectional transfers,
but does not fully comply with the full-duplex P1284 standard interface.
The following is a list of the PIP controllerÕs Centronics-compatible features:
¥
Superset of the Centronics standard
¥
Supports Centronics-type transmitter and receiver operating modes
¥
Supports bidirectional Centronics
¥
Message-oriented data structure ßexibility
¥
Flexible receive control character comparison
¥
Flexible timing modes with programmable timing parameters
Figure 33-20 shows the signals needed to implement a standard Centronics interface.

The following subsections describe the PIP conÞgured as a Centronics interface.
33.9.1 PIP as a Centronics Transmitter
Once the TxBDs are prepared and PIPC[STR] is set, the PIP processes the next ready BD
in the TxBD table. When conÞgured for a Centronics interface, the PIP transmitter fetches
data from memory and starts sending to the printer. Assuming the corresponding status
mask bits are set in SMASK, the PIP transmitter checks the printer status lines (SELECT,
PERROR and FAULT) for Tx errors before each transfer. ConÞgure PB30, PB29, and PB28
as general-purpose inputs and connect them to SELECT, PERROR, and FAULT,
respectively.
