Enhanced Serial Communication Controller with 8 Channels ESCC8

Introduction

The Enhanced Serial Communication Controller ESCC8 (SAB 82538) is a data communication device with eight serial channels. It has been designed to implement high-speed communication links and to reduce hardware and software overhead needed for serial synchronous/asynchronous communications.

Applications

● Universal, multiprotocol communication boards

● Asynchronous and synchronous terminal cluster controllers

● LAN gateways and bridges

● Multiplexers, cross-connect points, DMI boards

● Time slotted packet networks

● Packet switches, packet assemblers/disassemblers
