DESCRIPTION

The MK68564 SIO (Serial Input Output) is a dualchannel, multi-function peripheral circuit, designed to satisfy a wide variety of serial data communications requirements in microcomputer systems. Its basicfunction is a serial-to-parallel, parallel-to-serial converter/controller ; however within that role, it is systems software configurable so that its ”personality” may be optimized for any given serial data communications application.

■ COMPATIBLE WITH MK68000 CPU
