•
— Two 4-wire interfaces (SIN, SOUT, RTS, CTS)
— Programming model compatible with the original 16450 UART and the PC16550D
Local bus controller (LBC)
— Multiplexed 32-bit address and data bus operating at up to 133 MHz
— Eight chip selects support eight external slaves
— Up to eight-beat burst transfers
— The 32-, 16-, and 8-bit port sizes are controlled by an on-chip memory controller.
— Three protocol engines available on a per chip select basis:
– General-purpose chip select machine (GPCM)
