The data rates are programmable to either 400 KHz or 5 MHz. Usually the 5 MHz rate
is used in the unidirectional mode and the 400 KHz in the bidirectional mode. The data
is Manchester encoded. The hardware uses a higher rate clock to separate the clock
and data embedded within the Manchester data stream.
The remaining 24 channels are divided into six four-channel blocks that can each be
configured as either one full-duplex SDLC interface or two full-duplex asynchronous
interfaces.
The SDLC interface uses programmable PLL clock A as its reference frequency with
clock and data in and out comprising the four I/O lines of the channel block. The four
DPRs are partitioned into two blocks each for transmit and receive circular buffers that
have independently specified start and stop addresses and separate transmit and
receive interrupts.
