Pin Descriptions
The Enhanced Serial Communication Controller (ESCC) pins are divided into seven func -
tional groups:
1. Address/Data
2. Bus Timing and Reset
3. Device Contro l
4. Interrupt
5. Serial Data (both channels)
6. Peripheral Contro l (both channels)
7. Clocks (both channels)
Figure 1 on page 2 and Figure 2 on page 2 display the pins in each functional group for
both the Z80230 and Z85230/L. The pin functions are unique to each bus interface version
in the Address/Data group, Bus Timing and Reset group, and Device Control group.
The Address/Data group consists of the bidirectional lines used to transfer data between
the CPU and the ESCC (addresses in the Z80230 are latched by AS). The direction of
these lines depends on whether the operation is a Read or a Write operation.
The Timing and Contro l groups designate the type of transaction to occur and the timing
of the occurrence. The interrupt group provides inputs and outputs for handling and prior-
itizing interrupts. The remaining groups are divided into Channel A and Channel B groups
for:
Serial Data (Transmit or Receive)
Peripheral Control (such as DMA or modem)
Input and Output Line for the Receive and Transmit Clocks

Pins Common to Both Z85230/L and Z80230
The pin descriptions for pins common to both Z85230/L and Z80230 are provided below:
CTSA, CTSB (Clear To Send (Inputs, Active Low))—These pins function as transmitter
enables if they are programmed for AUTO ENABLE (WR3 bit 5 is 1), in which case a
Low on each input enables the respective transmitter. If not programmed as AUTO
ENABLE, the pins may be used as general-purpose inputs. These pins are Schmitt-trigger
buffered to accommodate slow rise-time inputs. The ESCC detects pulses on these pins
and may interrupt the CPU on both logic level transitions.
DCDA, DCDB (Data Carrier Detect (Inputs, Active Low))—These pins function as
receiver enables if they are programmed for AUTO ENABLE (WR3 bit 5 is 1); otherwise,
they are used as general-purpose input pins. The pins are Schmitt-trigger buffered to
accommodate slow rise-time signals. The ESCC detects pulses on these pins and may
interrupt the CPU on both logic level transitions.
RTSA, RTSB (Request To Send (Outputs, Active Low))—The RTS pins can be used as
general-purpose outputs or with the AUTO ENABLE feature. When AUTO-ENABLE is
off, these pins follow the inverse state of WR5 bit 1. When used with the AUTO-
ENABLE feature in ASYNCHRONOUS mode, this pin immediately goes Low when
WR5 bit 1 is 1. When WR5 bit 0 is 0, this pin remains Low until the transmitter is empty.
In Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) mode, the RTS pins can be programmed to be
deasserted when the closing flag of the message clears the TxD pin, if WR7’ bit 2 is 1,
WR10 bit 2 is 0, and WR5 bit 1 is 0.
SYNCA, SYNCB (Synchronization (Inputs Or Outputs, Active Low))—These pins can
act either as inputs, outpu ts, or as part of the crystal oscillator circuit. In the ASYNCHRO-
NOUS RECEIVE mode (crystal oscillator option not selected), these pins are inputs simi-
lar to CTS and DCD. In this mode, transition on these lines affect the state of the SYNC/
HUNT status bits in Read Register 0 but have no other function.
In EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION mode, with the crystal oscillator not selected,
these lines also act as inputs. In this mode, SYNC is driven Low , two Rx clock cycles after
the last bit of the SYNC character is received. Character assembly begins on the rising
edge of the receive clock immediately preceding the activation of SYNC.
In the INTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION mode (MONOSYNC and BISYNC) with the
crystal oscillator not selected, these pins act as outputs. These outputs go Low each time a
SYNC pattern is recognized, regardless of character boundaries. In SDLC mode, pins
switch from input to output when MONOSYNC, BISYNC, or SDLC is programmed in
WR4 and SYNC modes are enabled.
DTR/REQA, DTR/REQB (Data Terminal Ready/Request (Output, Active Low))—
These pins can be programmed (WR1 4 bit 2) t o serve either as general-purpose outputs or
as DMA Request lines. When programmed for DTR function (WR14 bit 2 is 0), these out-
puts follow the inverse of the DTR bit of Write Register 5 (WR5 bit 7). When pro-
grammed for REQUEST mode these pins serve as DMA Requests for the transmitter.

Z80230/Z85230/L
Product Specification

When used as DMA Request line (WR14 bit 2 is 1), the timing for the deactivation request
can be programmed in W rite Register 7 (WR7’) bit 4. If this bit is 1, the DTR/REQ pin is
deactivated with the same timing as the W/REQ pin. If 0, the deactivation timing of DTR/
REQ pin is four clock cycles, the same as in the Z80C30/Z85C30.
W/REQA, W/REQB (Wait/request (Output, Open-drain When Programmed For WAIT
Function, Driven High And Low When Programmed For Request Function))—These
dual-purpose outputs may be programmed as REQUEST lines for a DMA controller or as
WAIT lines to synchronize the CPU to the ESCC data rate. The reset state is WAIT.
RxDA, RxDB (Receive Data (inputs, active High))—These inputs receive serial data at
standard Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) levels.
RTxCA, RTxCB (Receive/Transmit Clocks (Input, Active Low))—These pins can be
programmed to several modes of operation. In each channel, RTxC may supply the fol-
lowing:
Receive clock and/or the transmit clock
Clock for the baud rate generator (BRG)
Clock for the Digital Phase-Locked Loop
These pins can also be programmed for use with the respective SYNC pins as a crystal
oscillator. The receive clock may be 1, 16, 32, or 64 times the data rate in ASYNCHRO-
NOUS modes.
TxDA, TxDB (Transmit Data (Output, Active High))—These output transmit serial data
at standard TTL levels.
TRxCA, TRxCB (Transmit/Receive Clocks (Inp ut or Output, Active Low))—These
pins can be programmed in several different modes. When configured as an input, the
TRxC may supply the recei ve clock and/or the transmit clock. When configured as an out-
put, TRxC can echo the clock output of the Digital Phase-Locked Loop, the crystal oscilla-
tor, the BRG or the transmit clock.
PCLK (Clock (Input))—This clock is the master ESCC clock used to synchronize internal
signals. PCLK is a TTL level signal. PCLK is not required to have any phase relationship
with the master system clock.
IEI (Interrupt Enable In (Input, Active High))—IEI is used with IEO to form an interrupt
daisy chain when there is more than one interrupt-driven device. A High IEI indicates that
no higher priority device has an Interrupt Under Service (IUS) or is requesting an
interrupt.
IEO (Interrupt Enable Out (Output, Active High))—IEO is High only if IEI is High and
the CPU is not servicing an ESCC interrupt. During an Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle, IEO
is also driven Low if the ESCC is requesting an interrupt. IEO can be connected to the
next lower priority device’s IEI input, and in this case inhibits interrupts from lower prior-
ity devices.

INT (Interrupt (Output, Open-Drain, Active Low))—This pin activates when the ESCC
requests an interrupt. The INT is an open-drain output.
INTACK (Interrupt Acknowledge (Input, Active Low))—This pin is a strobe which indi-
cates that an Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle is in progress. During this cycle, the ESCC
interrupt daisy chain is resolved. The device can return an interrupt vector that may be
encoded with the type of interrupt pending. During the acknowledge cycle, if IEI is High,
the ESCC places the interrupt vector on th e d ata bus w hen RD goes active fo r the Z 85230 /
L, or when DS goes active for the Z80230. INTACK is latched by the rising edge of
PCLK.
Pin Descriptions Exclusive to the Z85230/L
The pin description for pins exclusive to Z85230/L is provided below:
Pins D7–D0 (Data Bus (Bidirectional, tristate))—These pins carry data and commands
to and from the Z85230/L.
CE (Chip Enable (Input, Active Low))— This pin s elects the Z85230/L for a Read or
Write operation.
RD ((Read (input, Active Low))—This pin indicates a Read operation and, when the
Z85230/L is selected, enables the Z85230/Ls bus drivers. During the Interrupt Acknowl-
edge cycle, RD gates the interrupt vector onto the bus if the Z85230/L is the highest prior-
ity device requesting an interrupt.
WR (Write (Input, Active Low))—When the Z85230/L is selected, this pin denotes a
Write operation, which indicates that the CPU writes command bytes or data to the
Z85230/L write registers.
WR and RD going Low simultaneously is interpreted as a Reset.
A/B (Channel A/Channel B (Input))This pin selects the channel in which the Read or
Write operation occurs. A High selects Channel A and a Low selects Channel B.
D/C (Data/Control Select (Input))—This signal defines the type of information trans-
ferred to or from the Z85230/L. A High indicates data transfer and a Low indicates a com-
mand transfer.

There are three modes used to move data into and out of the ESCC:
1. POLLING
2. INTERRUPT (vectored an d non-vectored)
3. BLOCK TRANSFER
The BLOCK TRANSFER mode can be implemented under CPU or DMA control.
POLLING
When POLLING, data interrupts are disabled, three registers in the ESCC are automati-
cally updated whenever any function is performed. For example, end-of-frame (EOF) in
SDLC mode sets a bit in one of these status registers. The purpose of POLLING is for the
CPU to periodically read a status register until the register contents indicate the need that
data requires transfer. RR0 is the only register that must be read to determine if data needs
to be transferred. An alternative to polling RR0 for each channel is to poll the Interrupt

Pending register. Status information for both channels resides in one register. Only one
register may be read. Depending on its con tents, the CPU performs one of the three opera-
tions listed below:
1. Write data
2. Read data
3. Continues processing
Two bits in the register indicate the requirement for data transfer.
INTERRUPT
The ESCC INTERRUPT mode supports vectored and nested interrupts. The fill levels at
which the transmit and receive FIFOs interrupt the CPU are programmable, allowing the
ESCC requests for data transfer to be tune d to the system interrupt response time.
Nested interrupts are supported with the interrupt acknowledge (INTACK) feature of the
ESCC. It allows the CPU to acknowledge the occurrence of an interrupt, and re-enable
higher priority interrupts. Since an INTACK cycle releases the INT pin from the active
state, a higher priority ESCC interrupt or another higher priority device can interrupt the
CPU. When an ESCC responds to INTACK signal from the CPU, it can place an interrupt
vector on the data bus. This vector is written in WR2 and may be read in RR2. To increase
the interrupt response time, the ESCC can modify 3 bits in this vector to indicate stat us. If
the vector is read in Channel A, status is not included. If it is read in Channel B, status is
included.
Each of the six sources of interrupts in the ESCC (Transmit, Receive, and External/Status
interrupts in both channels) has 3 bits associated with the interrupt source as listed below:
1. Interrupt Pending (IP)
2. Interrupt Under Service (IUS)
3. Interrupt Enable (IE)
If the IE bit is set for a given interrupt source, then that source can request interrupts.
However, when the Master Interrupt Enable (MIE) bit in WR9 is reset, no interrupts can
be requested. The IE bits are write-only. The other two bits are related to the interrupt pri-
ority chain (see Figure 7 on page 13). The ESCC can request an interrupt only when no
higher priority device is requesting an interrupt (that is, when IEI is High). If the device in
question requests an interrupt, it pulls down INT. The CPU then responds with INTACK,
and the interrupting d evice places a vector on the data bus.

Figure 7. ESCC Interrupt Priority Schedule
The ESCC can also execute an Interrupt Acknowledge cycle using software. Sometimes it
is difficult to create the INTACK signal with the necessary timing to acknowledge inter-
rupts and allow the nesting of interrupts. In such cases, interrupts can be acknowledged
with a software command to the ESCC. For more information, Z80230/Z85230/L
Enhancements on page 22
Interrupt Pending (IP) bits signal a need for interrup t servicing. When an IP bit is 1 an d the
IEI input is High, the INT output is pulled Low, requesting an interrupt. In the ESCC, if an
IE bit is not set, then the IP for that source is never set. The IP bits are read in RR3A.
The Interrupt Under Service (IUS) bits signal that an interrupt request is serviced. If IUS is
set to 1, all interrupt sources of low priority in the ESCC and external to the ESCC are pre-
vented from requesting interrup ts. The internal interrupt sources are inhibited by the state
of the internal daisy chain, while lower priority devices are inhibited by setting IEO Low
for subsequent peripherals. An IUS bit is set during an Interrupt Acknowledge cycle if
there are no higher priority devices reques ting interrupt.
There are three type of interrupts as listed below:
1. Transmit
2. Receive
3. External/Status
Each interrupt type is enabled under program control with Channel A having higher prior-
ity than Channel B, and with T ransmit, Receive, and External/S tatus interrupts prioritized
in that order within each channel. When the T ransmit interrupt is enabled (WR1 bit 1 is 1),
the occurrence of the interrupt depends on the state of WR7’ bit 5. If WR7’ bit 5 is 0, the
CPU is interrupted when the top byte of the transmit First In First Out (FIFO) becomes
empty. If WR7’ bit 5 is 1, the CPU is interrupted when the transmit FIFO becomes com-
pletely empty. The transmit interrupt occurs when the data in the exit location of the
Transmit FIFO loads into the Transmit Shift Register and the Transmit FIFO becomes
completely empty. This condition means that there must be at least one character written
to the Tx FIFO for it to become empty.

When the receiver is enabled, the CPU is interrupted in one of the following three meth-
ods:
1. Interrupt on First Receive Character or Special Receive Condition
2. Interrupt on All Receive Characters or Special Receive Conditions
3. Interrupt on Special Receive Conditions Only
If WR7’ bit 3 is 1, and the Special Receive Condition is selected, the Receive character
occurs when there are four bytes available in the Receive FIFO. This is most useful in syn-
chronous applications as the data is in consecutive bytes. Inte rrupt on First Character or
Special Condition and Interrupt on Special Condition Only are typically used with the
BLOCK TRANSFER mode. A special Receive Condition consists of one of the follow-
ing:
Receiver Overrun
Framing error in ASYNCHRONOUS mode
EOF in SDLC mode
Parity error (optional)
The Special Receive Condition interrupt is different from an ordinary receive character
available interrupt only by the status placed in the vector during the Interrupt Acknowl-
edge cycle. In Receive Interrupt on First Character or Special Condition mode, an inter-
rupt occurs from Special Receive Conditions any time after the first receive character
interrupt.
The primary function of the External/Status interr upt is to monitor the signal transitions of
the CTS, DCD, and SYNC pins. However, an External/Status interrupt is also caused by
any of the following:
A Transmit Underrun condition
A zero count in the BRG
A detection of a Break (ASYNCHRONOUS mode)
An ABORT (SDLC mode)
An End Of Poll (EOP) sequence in the data stream (SDLC LOOP mode)
The interrupt caused by the ABORT or EOP sequence has a special feature that allows the
ESCC to interrupt when the ABORT or EOP sequence is detected or terminated. This fea-
ture facilitates the proper termination of the current message, correct initialization of the
next message, and the accurate timing of the ABORT condition by external logic in SDLC
mode. SDLC LOOP mode allows secondary stations to recognize the primary station and
regain control of the loop during a poll sequence.

CPU/DMA BLOCK TRANSFER
The ESCC provides a BLOCK TRANSFER mode to accommodate CPU/DMA controller .
The BLOCK TRANSFER mode uses the WAIT/REQUEST output in conjunction with the
WAIT/REQUEST bits in WR1. The WAIT/REQUEST output can be defined as a WAIT
line in the CPU BLOCK TRANSFER mode or as a REQUEST line in the DMA BLOCK
TRANSFER mode.
To a DMA controller, the ESCC REQUEST output indicates that the ESCC is ready to
transfer data to or from memory.
To the CPU, the WAIT line indicates that the ESCC is not ready to transfer data, thereby
requesting the CPU to extend the I/O cycle.
The DTR/REQUEST line allows full-duplex operation under DMA control. The ESCC
can be programmed to deassert the DTR/REQUEST pin with the same timing as the
WAIT/REQUEST pin if WR7’ bit 4 is 1.
ESCC Data Communications Capabilities
The ESCC provides tw o independent full-duplex programmable channels for use in any
common ASYNCHRONOUS or SYNCHRONOUS data communication protocols (see
Figure 8). The channels have identical features and capabilities.

ASYNCHRONOUS Mode
The ESCC has significant improvements over the standard Serial Communications Con-
troller (SCC). The addition of the deeper data FIFOs provide greater protection against
underruns and overruns as well as more efficient use of bus bandwidth. The deeper data
FIFOs are accessible regardless of the protocol used and they need not be enabled. For
information on these improvements, see Z80230/Z85230/L Enhancements on page 22
Send and Receive allow 5 to 8 bits per character, plus optional Even or Odd parity. The
transmitters can supply 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits per character and can provide break indica-
tion. The receiver brea k-d etec tion logi c interrupts the CPU both at the start and at the end
of a received break. Reception is protected from spikes by start-bit validation that delays
the signal for a length of time equal to one half the time period required to process 1 bit of
data after a Low level is detected on the receive data input (RxDA or RxDB pins). If the
Low level does not persist (that is, a transient), the character assembly process does not
start.
Framing errors and overrun errors are detected and buffered together with the character at
which they occur. Vectored interrupts allow fast servicing of error conditions. Further-
more, a built-in checking process avoids the interpretation of a framing error as a new start
bit. A framing error results in the addition of a delay of one half the amount of time
required to process 1 bit of data at the point at which the search for the next start bit
begins. Transmit and Receive clock can be selected from any of the several sources. In
ASYNCHRONOUS mode, the SYNC pin may be programmed as an input with interrupt
capability.
SYNCHRONOUS Mode
The ESCC supports both byte-oriented and bit-oriented SYNCHRONOUS communica-
tion. SYNCHRONOUS byte-oriented protocols are handled in several modes. They
enable character synchronization with a 6- or 8-bit SYNC character (MONOSYNC) or a
12-bit or 16-bit synchronization pattern (BISYNC), or with an external sync signal. Lead-
ing sync characters are removed without interrupting the CPU.
5- or 7-bit sync characters are detected from 8- or 16-bit patterns in the ESCC by overlap-
ping the larger pattern across multiple incoming sync characters as displayed in Figure 9.

CRC checking for SYNCHRONOUS BYTE-ORIENTED mode is delayed by one charac-
ter time so that the CPU may disable CRC checking on specific characters. This action
permits the implementation of protocols such as IBM BISYNC.
Both CRC-16 (X16 + X15 + X2 + 1) and CRC-CCITT (X16 + X12 + X5 + 1) error checking
polynomials are supported. Either polynomial may be selected in all synchronous modes.
You can preset the CRC generator and checker to all 1s or all 0s. The ESCC also provides
a feature that automatically transmits CRC data when no other data is available for trans-
mission. This feature enables high-speed transmissions under DMA control, with no need
for CPU intervention at the end of a message. When there is no data or CRC to send in the
SYNCHRONOUS mode, the transmitter inserts 6-, 8-, 12-, or 16-bit SYNC characters,
regardless of the programmed character length.
SDLC Mode
The ESCC supports SYNCHRONOUS bit-oriented protocols, such as SDLC and
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), by p erforming automatic flag sending, zero inser -
tion, and CRC generation.
A special command is used to abort a frame which is in transmission. At the end of a mes-
sage, the ESCC automatically transmits the CRC and trailing flag when the transmitter
underruns. The transmitter may also be programmed to send an idle line consisting of con-
tinuous flag characters or a steady marking condition.
If a transmit underrun occurs in the middle of a message, an External/Status inte rrupt
warns the CPU of this status change so that an Abort command can be issued. The ESCC
may also be program med to send an Abort command by itself, in the event of an
underrun, relieving the CPU of the task. The last character of a frame may consist of 1- to
8-bits, allowing reception of frames of any length.
The receiver automatically synchronizes on the leading flag of a frame in SDLC or HDLC
and provides a synchronization signal on the SYNC pin (an interrupt may also be pro-
grammed). The receiver may search for frames addressed by 1-byte or 4-bits within a byte
of a user-specified address or for a global broadcast address. Frames not matching either
the user-selected address or broadcast address are ignored.
The number of address bytes are extended under software control. To receive data, an
interrupt can be selected on the first received character, or on every character, or On Spe-
cial Condition Only (EOF). The receiver automatically deletes all zeros inserted by the
transmitter during character assembly. CRC is also calculated and is automatically
checked to validate frame transmission. At the end of transmission, the status of a received
frame is available in the status registers. In SDLC mode, the ESCC must be programmed
to use the CRC-CCITT polynomial, but the generator and checker may be pre-set to all 1s
or all 0s. The CRC data is inverted before t ransmission and the receiver checks against the
bit pattern 0001110100001111.

NRZ, NRZI, or FM coding may be used in any 1X mode. The parity options available in
ASYNCHRONOUS mode are also available in SYNCHRONOUS mode. However, parity
checking is not normally used for SDLC because CRC checking is more robust.
SDLC LOOP Mode
The ESCC supports SDLC LOOP mode as well as normal SDLC. In SDLC LOOP mode,
a primary controller station manages the message traffic flow on the loop and any number
of secondary stations. In SDLC LOOP mode, the ESCC performs the functions of a sec-
ondary station. An ESCC operation in regular SDLC mode may act as a controller (see
Figure 10). SDLC LOOP mode is selected by setting WR10 bit 1 to 1.
Figure 10. SDLC LOOP mode
A secondary station in an SDLC LOOP mode always monitors the messages sent around
the loop and passes these messages to the rest of the loop, retransmitting them with a one-
bit time delay. The secondary station places its own message in the loop only at specific
times. The controller indicates that the secondary stations can transmit mes sages by send-
ing a special character, called EOP, around the loop. The EOP character has a bit pattern
11111110, the same pattern as an Abort character in normal HDLC. This bit pattern is
unique and easily recognized, because of the zero insertion in the message.
When a secondary station has a message to transmit and recognizes an EOP on the line, it
changes the last binary 1 of the EOP to a 0 before transmission. This action changes the
EOP into a flag sequence. The secondary station now places its message on the loop and
terminates the message with an EOP. Any seco ndary stations further down the loop with
messages to transmit appends their messages to the message of the first secondary station
using the same process. Secondary stations without any messages to transmit merely echo
the incoming message. All secondary stations are prohibited from placing messages on the
loop except upon recognizing an EOP. In SDLC LOOP mode, NRZ, NRZI or FM coding
can be used.

SDLC Status FIFO
The ESCC’s ability to receive high speed back-to-back SDLC frames is maximized by a
10-bit deep by 19-bit wide status FIFO buffer. When enabled (through WR15 bit 2 is 1),
the storage area enables DMA to continue data transfer into the memory, so that the CPU
examines the message later. For each SDLC frame, 14 counter bits and 5 Status/Error bits
are stored. The byte count and status bits are accessed through Read Registers, RR6, and
RR7. RR6 and RR7 are only used when the SDLC FIFO buffer is enabled. The 10 x 19
status FIFO buffer is separate from the 8-byte receive data FIFO buffer.
Baud Rate Generator
Each channel in the ESCC contains a programmable BRG. Each generator consists of two
8-bit registers that form a 16-bit time constant, a 16-bit down counter, and a flip-flop on
the output, producing a square wave. At start-up, the flip-flop at the output is set High, the
value in the time constant register is loaded into the counter, and the count down begins.
When the BRG reaches zero, the output toggles, the counter is reloaded with the time con-
stant, and the process repeats. The time constant can be changed at any time, but the new
value does not take effect until the counter is loaded again.
The output of the BRG may be used as the T ransmit clock, the Receive clock, or both. The
output can also drive the DPLL. For more information, see Digital Phase-Locked Loop.
If the receive clock or the transmit clock is not programmed to come from the TRxC pin,
the output of the BRG may be echoed out by the TRxC pin.
The following formula relates the time constant to the baud rate. PCLK or RTxC is the
clock input to the BRG. The clock mode is 1, 16, 32 , or 64, as selected in WR 4 bits 6 and
7.
Digital Phase-Locked Loop
The ESCC contains a DPLL to recover clock information from a data stream with NRZI or
FM encoding. The DPLL is driven by a clock that is nominally 32 (NRZI) or 16 (FM)
times the data rate. The DPLL uses this clock, along with the data stream, to construct a
clock for the data. This clock is then used as the ESCC receive clock, the transmit clock,
or both. When the DPLL is selected as the transmit clock source, it provides a jitter-free
clock output. The clock output is the DPLL input frequency divided by the appropriate
divisor for the selected encoding technique.
For NRZI encoding, the DPLL counts the 32x clock to create nominal bit times. As the
32x clock is counted, the DPLL searches the incoming data stream for edges (either 1 to 0
or 0 to 1). When a transition is detected the DPLL makes a count adjustment (during the
next counting cycle), producing a terminal count closer to the center of the bit cell.

Time Constant =2(Baud Rate) (Clock Mode) -2
PS005309-0515 Functional Description
Z80230/Z85230/L

For FM encoding, the DPLL counts from 0 to 32, but with a cycle corresponding to two
bit times. When the DPLL is locked, the clock edges in the data stream occurs between
counts 15 and 16 an d between counts 31 and 0. The DPLL looks for edges only du ring a
time centered on the 15 to 16 counting transition.
The 32x clock for the DPLL can be programmed to come from either the RTxC input or
the output of the BRG. The DPLL output is programmed to be echoed out the ESCC by the
TRxC pin (if this pin is not being used as an input).
Data Encoding
Data encoding allows the transmission of clock and data information over the same
medium. This capability saves the need to transmit clock and data over separate medium
as is normally required tor synchronous data. The ESCC provides four different data
encoding methods, selected by bit s 6 an d 5 in WR10. Examples of these 4 encoding meth-
ods is displayed in Figure 11. Any encoding method is used in any X1 mode in the ESCC,
ASYNCHRONOUS or SYNCHRONOUS. The data encoding selected is active even if
the transmitter or receiver is idling or disabled.

In addition to the four methods, ESCC can be used to decode Manchester (biphase level)
data using DPLL in the FM mode and programming the receiver for NRZ data. Man-
chester encoding always produces a transition at the center of the bit cell. If the transition
is 0 to 1, the bit is a 0. If the transition is 1 to 0, the bit is a 1.
Auto Echo and Local Loopback
The ESCC is capable of automatically echoing everything it receives. This feature is use-
ful mainly in ASYNCHRONOUS modes, but works in SYNCHRONOUS a nd SDLC
modes as well. AUTO ECHO mode (TxD is RxD) is used with NRZI or FM encoding
with an additional delay because the data stream is not decoded before retransmission. In
AUTO ECHO mode, the CTS input is ignored as a transmitter enable, (although transi-
tions for this input can cause interrupts if programmed to do so). In this mode, the trans-
mitter is actually bypassed and the programmer is responsible for disabling transmitter
interrupt s and Wait/Request on transmit.
The ESCC is also capable of LOCAL LOOPBACK. In this mode the internal transmit
data is tied to the internal receive data and RxD is ignored. The CTS and DCD inputs are
also ignored as transmit and receive enables. However, transitions on these inputs can
cause interrupts. LOCAL LOOPBACK works in ASYNCHRONOUS, SYNCHRO-
NOUS, and SDLC modes with NRZ, NRZI, or FM coding of the data stream.

Z80230/Z85230/L Enhancements
A detailed description of the enhancements to the Z80230/Z85230/L ESCC that differenti-
ate it from the standard SCC is provided below:
4-Byte Transmit FIFO Buffer
The ESCC has a 4-byte transmit buffer with programmable interrupt and DMA request
levels. It is not necessary to enable the FIFO buffer as it is a lways available. You can set
the Transmit Buffer Empty (TBE) interrupt and DMA Request on Transmit command to
be generated either when the top byte of transmit FIFO is empty or only when the FIFO is
completely empty. A hardware or channel reset clears the transmit shift register, flushes
the transmit FIFO, and sets WR7’ bit 5 to 1.
If the transmitter generates the interrupt or DMA request for data when the top byte of the
FIFO is empty (WR7’ bit 5 is 0), the system allows for a long response time to the data
request without underflowing. The interrupt service routine (ISR) write s 1byte and then
tests RR0 bit 2. The DMA Request on Transmit in this mode is set to 0 after each data
Write (that is, TBE), RR0 bit 2, is set to 1 when the top byte of the FIFO is empty. WR7’
bit 5 resets to 1.
In applications for which the interrupt frequency is important, the transmit ISR can be
optimized by programming the ESCC to generate the TBE interru pt only when the FIFO is
completely empty (WR7’ bit 5 is 1) and, writing 4 bytes to fill the FIFO. When WR7’ bit
5 is 1, only one DMA request is generated, filling the bottom of the FIFO. However, this
may be advantageous for applications where the possible reassertion of the DMA request
is not required. The TBE status bit, RR0 bit 2, is set to 1 when the top byte of the FIFO is
empty. WR7’ bit 5 is set to1 after a hardware or channel reset.
8-Byte Receive FIFO
The ESCC has an 8-byte receive FIFO with programmable interrupt levels. It is not neces-
sary to enable the 8-byte FIFO as it is always available. A hardware or channel reset clears
the Receive Shift register and flushes the Receive FIFO. The Receive Character Available
interrupt is generated as sele cted by WR7’ bit 3. The Receive Character Available bit,
RR0 bit 0 is set to 1 when at least one byte is available at the top of the FIFO (independent
of WR7’ bit 3).
A DMA Request on Receive, if enabled, is generated whenever 1 byte is available in the
receive FIFO independent of WR7’ bit 3. If more than 1 byte is available in the FIFO, the
Wait/Request pin becomes inactive and becomes active when the FIFO is emptied.

By resetting WR7’ bit 3 to 0, applications which have a long latency to interrupts can gen-
erate the request to read data from the FIFO when one byte is available. The application
can then test the Receive Character Available bit to determine if more data is available.
By setting WR7’ bit 3 to 0, the ESCC can issue an interrupt when the receive FIFO is half
full (4 bytes available), allowing the frequency of interrupts to be reduced. If WR7’ bit 3 is
1, the Receive Character Available interrupt is generated when there are 4 bytes available.
If the ISR reads 4 bytes during each routine, the frequency of interrupts is reduced.
If WR7’ bit 3 is 1 and Receive Interrupt on All Characters and Special Conditions is
enabled, the receive character ava ilable interrupt is generated when four characters are
available. However, when a character is detect ed to have a special condition, an interrupt
is generated when the character is loaded into the top four bytes of the FIFO. Therefore,
the Special Condition ISR must be RR1 before reading the data to determine which byte
has the special condition.
Write Register 7 PRIME (WR7’)
A new register , WR7’ , has been added to the ESCC to enable the p rogramming of six new
features. The format of this register is listed in Table 4.
Table 4. Write Register 7 Prime (WR7’)
WR7’ is written by first setting Bit 0 of Write Register 15 (WR15 bit 0) to 1 and then
accessing WR7. All write commands to register 7 are to WR7’ while WR15 bit 0 is set to

1. WR15 bit 0 must be reset to 0 to address the SYNC character in register WR7. If bit 6 of
WR7’ is set to 1, then WR7’ can be read by performing a read cycle to RR14. The WR7’
features remain enabled until specifically disabled or by a hardware or software reset. Bit
5 is set to 1 and all other bits are reset to 0 after a reset.
For applications which use either the Zilog Z8X30SCC or Z80230 , these two device types
can be identified in software with the following test:
1. Write 01H to Write Register 15
2. Read Register 15
If bit 0 is set t o 0, the device is Z8X30SCC. If bit 0 is set to 1, it is a Z80C30. If the device
is Z8XC30, a write to WR15 is required before proceeding. If the device is Z80230, all
writes to address 7 are to WR7’ until WR15 is set to 0.
The WR7 register bits are described below:
Bit 7 (Not used)
This bit must always be 0.
Bit 6 (Extended Read Enable)
Setting this bit to 1 enables WR3, WR4, WR5, WR7’ and WR10 to be read by issuing a
READ command for RR9 (WR3) RR4, RR5, RR14 (WR7’) and RR11 (WR10), respec-
tively.
Bit 5 (Transmit FIFO Interrupt Level)
If this bit is set to 1, the TBE interrupt is generated when the transmit FIFO is completely
empty. If this bit is set to 0, the TBE interrupt is generated when the top byte of the trans-
mit FIFO is empty. This bit is set following a hardware or channel reset.
In DMA REQUEST ON TRANSMIT mode, when using either the W/REQ or DTR/REQ
pins, the request is asserted when the Tx FIFO is completely empty if WR7’ bit 5 is set to
1. The request is asserted when the top byte of the FIFO is empty if bit 5 is reset.
Bit 4 (DTR/REQ Timing)
If this bit is set to 1 and the DTR/REQ pin is used for REQUEST mode (WR14 bit 2 is 1),
the deactivation of the DTR/REQ pin is identical to the W/REQ pin as displayed in
Figure 12 on page 25. If this bit is reset, the deactivation time is 4TcPc.

Bit 3 (Receive FIFO Interrupt Level)
This bit sets the interrupt level of the receive FIFO. If this bit is set to 1, the receive data
available bit is asserted when the receive FIFO is half full (4 bytes available). If this bit is
reset to 0, the Receive Data Available interrupt is requested when all bytes are set. For
more information, see 8-Byte Receive FIFO on page 22.
Bit 2 (Automatic RTS Pin Deassertion)
This bit controls the timing of the deassertion of the RTS pin in SDLC mode. If this bit is
1 and WR5 bit 1 is set to 0 during the transmission of an SDLC frame, the deassertion of
the RTS pin is delayed until the last bit of the closing flag clears the TxD pin. The RTS pin
is pulled High after the rising edge of the transmit clock cycle from the last bit of the clos-
ing flag. This action implies that the ESCC must be programmed for Flag on Underrun
(WR10 bit 2 is 0) for the RTS pin to deassert at the end of the frame. This feature works
independently of the programmed T ransmitter Idle state. In SYNCHRONOUS mode other
than SDLC, the RTS pin immediately follows the state programmed into WR5 bit 1. When
WR7’ bit 2 is set to 0, the RTS follows the state of WR5 bit 1.
Bit 1 (Automatic EOM Reset)
If this bit is 1, the ESCC automatically resets the Tx Underrun/EOM latch and presets the
transmit CRC generator to its programmed preset state (per values set in WR5 bit 2 and
WR10 bit 7). Therefore, it is not necessary to issue the Reset Tx Underrun/EOM Latch
command when this feature is enabled.
Bit 0 (Automatic Tx SDLC Flag)
If this bit is 1, the ESCC automatically transmits an SDLC flag before transmitting data.
This action removes the requirement to reset the Mark Idle bit (WR10 bit 3) before writing
data to the transmitter.

Historically, the SCC latched the databus on the falling edge of WR. However, as many
CPUs do not guarantee that the databus is valid when the WR pin goes Low, Zilog modi-
fied the databus timing to allow a maximum delay of 20 nS from the WR signal going
active Low to the latching of the databus.
CRC Reception in SDLC Mode
In SDLC mode, the entire CRC is clocked into the receive FIFO. The ESCC completes
clocking in the CRC to allow it to be retransmitted or manipulated software. In the SCC,
when the closing flag is recognized, the contents of the receive shift register are immedi-
ately transferred to the receive FIFO, resulting in the loss of the last two bits of the CRC.
In the ESCC, it is not necessary to program this feature. When the closing flag is detected,
the last 2 bits of the CRC are transferred into the receive FIFO. In all other
SYNCHRONOUS mode, the ESCC does not clock in the last 2 CRC bits (same as the
SCC).
TxD Forced High in SDLC with NRZI Encoding When Marking Idle
When the ESCC is programmed for SDLC mode with NRZI data encoding and Mark Idle
(WR10 bit 6 is 0, bit 5 is 1, bit 3 is 1), the TxD pin is automatically forced High when the
transmitter enters the Mark Idle state. There are several different ways for the transmitter
to enter the Idle state. In each of the following ca ses the TxD pin is forced High when the
Mark Idle condition is reached:
Data, CRC, flag, and Idle
Data, flag, and Idle
Data, abort (on underrun), and Idle
Data, abort (command), and Idle
Idle flag and command to Idle Mark
The Force High feature is disabled when the Mark Idle bit is set to 0.
This feature is used in combination with the automatic SDLC opening flag transmission
feature, WR7’ bit 0 is 1, to assure that data packets are formatted correctly . In this case, the
CPU is not required to issue any commands. If WR7’ bit 0 is 0, as on the SCC, the Mark
Idle bit (WR10 bit 3), is set to 1, to enable flag transmission before an SDLC packet trans-
mits.
Improved Transmit Interrupt Handling
The ESCC latches the TBE interrupt because the CRC is loaded into the Transmit Shift
register even if the TBE interrupt, due at the last data byte, has not been reset. The end of a

synchronous frame is guaranteed to generate two TBE interrupts even if a Reset Transmit
Buffer Interrupt command for the data created interrupt is issued after the CRC interrupt
occurs (Time A in Figure 13). Two Reset TBE commands are required. The TxIP latches
if the EOM latch resets before the end of the frame.
Figure 13. TxIP Latching
DPLL Counter Tx Clock Source
When the DPLL is selected as the transmit clock source, the DPLL counter output is the
DPLL source clock divided by the appropriate divisor for the programmed data encoding
format. In FM mode (FM0 or FM1), the DPLL counter output signal is the input frequency
divided by 16.
In NRZI mode, the DPLL counter output signal is the input clock cycle divided by 32.
This feature provides a jitter-free output signal that replaces the DPLL transmit clock out-
put as the transmit clock source. This action has no effect on the use of the DPLL as the
receive clock source (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. DPLL Outputs
Read Register 0 Status Latched During Read Cycle
The contents of Read Register 0, RR0 is latched during a Read operation. The ESCC pre-
vents the contents of RR0 from cha nging during a Read operation. But, the SCC al lows
the status of RR0 to change while reading the register and may require reading RR0 twice.
The contents of RR0 is updated after the rising edge of RD signal.

Software Interrupt Acknowledge
The Z80230/Z85230 / L interrupt acknowledge cycle can be initiated using software. If
Write Register 9 (WR9 bit 5 is 1), Read Register 2 (RR2) results in an interrupt INTACK
cycle, a software acknowledgment causes the INT pin to go High. The IEO pin goes Low.
The Interrupt Under Service (IUS) latch is set to the highest priority pending interrupt.
When a hardware INTACK signal is desired, a software acknowledge cycle requires that a
Reset Highest IUS command be issued in the ISR. If RR2 is read from Channel A, the
unmodified vector is returned. If RR2 is read from Channel B, then the vector is modified
to indicate the source of the interrupt. The Vector Includes Status (VIS) and No Vector
(NV) bits in WR9 are ignored when WR9 bit 5 is set to 1.
If the INTACK and IEI pins are not used, they are pulled up to VCC through a resistor
(2.2 k?, typical).
Fast SDLC Transmit Data Interrupt Response
To facilitate the transmission of back-to-back SDLC frames with a single shared flag
between frames, the ESCC allows data for a second frame to be written to the transmit
FIFO after the Tx Underrun/EOM interrupt occurs. This feature allows application soft-
ware more time to write the data to the transmitter while allowing the current frame to
conclude with CRC and flag. The SCC required that data not be written to the transmitter
until a TBE interrupt is generated after the CRC completed transmission.
If data is written to the transmit FIFO after the T ransmit Underrun/EOM interrupt is issued
but before the TBE interrupt is issued, the Automatic EOM Reset function is enabled
(WR7’ bit 1 is 1). Consequently, the commands Reset Tx/Underrun EOM Latch and Reset
Tx CRC Generator must never be used.
SDLC FIFO Frame Status Enhancement
When used with a DMA controller, the ESCC SDLC Frame Status FIFO enhancement
maximizes the ESCC’s ability to receive high-speed, back-to-back SDLC messages. It
minimizes frame overruns due to CPU latencies in responding to interrupts. The feature
(displayed in Figure 15 on page 29) includes:
10-bit deep by 19- bit wide status FIFO
14-bit receive byte counter
Control logic
The 10 x 19 bits status FIFO is separate from the 8-byte receive data FIFO.
When the enhancement is enabled, the status in Read Register 1 (RR1) and byte count for
the SDLC frame are stored in the 10- x 19-bit status FIFO. This action allows the DMA

When a flag is received at the end of an SDLC frame, the frame byte count from the 14-bit
counter and 5 status bits are loaded into the status FIFO for verification by the CPU. The
CRC checker is automatically reset in preparation for the next frame, which starts immedi-
ately.
Because the byte count and status are saved for each frame , the message inte grity can be
verified at a later time. Status information for up to ten frames is stored before a status
FIFO overrun occurs.
If a frame is terminated with an Abort command, the byte count and status is loaded to
the status FIFO and the counter is reset for the next frame.
FIFO Enable/Disable
This FIFO buffer is enabled when WR15 bit 2 is 1 and the ESCC is in the SDLC/HDLC
mode. Otherwise, the status register contents bypass the FIFO and transfer directly to the
bus interface (the FIFO pointer logic is reset either when disabled or by a channel or
power-on reset). When the FIFO mode is disabled, the ESCC is downward-compatible
with the NMOS Z8030/Z8530. The FIFO mode is disabled on power-up (WR15 bit 2 set
to 0 on reset). The effects of backward compatibility on the register set are that RR4 is an
image of RR0, RR5 is an image of RR1, RR6 is an image of RR2, and RR7 is an image of
RR3. For information on the added registers, see Read Registers on page 53. The status of
the FIFO Enable signal is read at RR15 bit 2. If the FIFO is enabled, the bit is set to 1; oth-
erwise it is reset to 0.
FIFO Read Operation
When WR15 bit 2 is 1 and the FIFO is not empty, the next read status register RR1 or the
additional registers RR7 and RR6, reads the FIFO. Reading status register RR1 causes one
location of the FIFO to empty, so status is read after read ing the byte count; otherwise the
count is incorrect. Before the FIFO underflows, it is disabled. In this case, the multiplexer
is switched to allow status to read directly from the status register . In this state, reads from
RR7 and RR6 are undefined bit 6 of RR7 (FIFO data available) status data is coming from
the FIFO or directly from the status register , because it is set to 1 whenever the FIFO is not
empty.
Since all status bits are not stored in the FIFO, the All Sent, Parity, and EOF bits bypass
the FIFO. The status bits sent through the FIFO are the three Residue Bits, Overrun, and
CRC Error.
The correct sequence for polling the byte count and FIFO logic is RR7, RR6, then RR1
(reading RR6 is optional). Additional logic prevents the FIFO from emptying by multiple
reads from RR1. The read from RR7 latches the FIFO empty/full status bit (bit 6) and
steers the status multiplexer to read the ESCC megacell instead of the status FIFO
PS005309-0515 Z80230/Z85230/L Enha ncements
Z80230/Z85230/L
Product Specification
31
(because the status FIFO is empty). The read from RR1 allows an entry to be read from the
FIFO (if the FIFO is empty, the logic prevents a FIFO underflow condition).
FIFO Write Operation
When the end of an SDLC frame is received and the Status FIFO is enabled, the contents
of the status and byte-count registers load into the FIFO. The EOF signal increments the
FIFO. If the FIFO overflows, the RR7 bit 7 (FIFO overflow) is set, indicating the over-
flow. This bit and the FIFO control logic is reset by disabling and re-ena bling the FIFO
control bit (WR15 bit 2). For details about FIFO control timin g during an SDLC frame,
see Figure 16.
Figure 16. SDLC Byte Counting Detail
SDLC Status FIFO Anti-Lock Feature
When the Frame Status FIFO is enabled and the ESCC is programmed for Special Receive
Condition Only (WR1 bit 4 = bit 3=1), the data FIFO is not locked when a character with
EOF status is read.When EOF status is at the top of the FIFO, an interrupt with a vector
for receive data is generated. The command Reset Highest IUS must be issued at the
end of the ISR regardless of whether an Interrupt Acknowledge cycle was executed (hard-
ware or software).
This action allows the DMA to complete the transfer of the received frame to memory,
then interrupt the CPU that a frame was completed, without locking the FIFO. Because in
the RECEIVE INTERRUPT ON SPECIAL CONDITION ONLY mode the interrupt vec-
tor for receive data is not used , it indicates that the last byte of a frame has been read from
the receive FIFO. Reading the frame status (CRC, byte count and other status stored in the
status FIFO) determines that EOF is not required.
When a character with a special receive condition other than EOF is received (receiver
overrun or parity), a special receive condition interrupt is generated after the character is
read from the FIFO and the receive FIFO is locked until the Error Reset comm an d is
issued.

Programming
The ESCC contains write registers in each channel that are programmed by the system
separately to configure the function of each channel.
In the Z85230/L ESCC, the data FIFOs are directly accessible by selecting a High on the
D/C pin. Except WR0 and RR0, programmin g the write registers requires two write oper-
ations and reading a read register requires a write and a read operation. The first W rite is to
WR0 which contains bits that point to the selected register. If the next operation is a W rite
the selected write register is written. If the next operation is a read, the selected read regis-
ter is read. The pointer bits are automatically cleared after the second operation so the next
read or write comes from RR0 or goes to WR0. It is not necessary to write 00 to WR0 to
access WR0 or RR0.
For the Z80230 ESCC, the registers are directly addressable. A command issued to WR0B
determines how the ESCC decodes the address placed on the address/data bus at the
beginning of a Read or Write cycle. In Shift Right mode the ch annel select A/B is taken
from AD0 and the state of AD5 is ignored. In Shift Left mode, the channel select A/B is
taken from AD5 and the state of AD0 is ignored. AD7 and AD6 are always ignored as
address bits and the register address itself occupies AD4–AD1.
Initializing
The software first issues a series of commands to initialize the basic mode of operation.
These commands are followed by other commands to qualify conditions within the
selected mode. For example, in the ASYNCHRONOUS mode, character length, clock
rate, number of stop bits, and even and odd parity is set first. Next, the INTERRUPT mode
is set. Finally, the receiver and transmitter are enabled.
Write Registers
The ESCC contains 16 write registers (17 counting the transmit buffer) in each channel.
These write registers are programmed to configure the function of the channel. There are
two registers (WR2 and WR9) shared by the two channels, which can be accessed through
either of them. WR2 contains the interrupt vector for both channels. WR9 contains the
interrupt control bits and reset commands. Register WR7’ can be written to if WR15 bit 0
is 1.
Z80X20 Register Access
The Z80230 registers are addressed using the address on AD7–AD0 which are latched by
the rising edge of AS. The Shift Right/Shift Left bit in the Channel B WR0 controls which
PS005309-0515 Programming
Z80230/Z85230/L
Product Specification
33
bits are decoded to form the register address. This bit is placed in this register to simplify
programming when the current state of the Shift right/Shift Left bit is not known.
A hardware reset forces SHIFT LEFT mode where the address is decoded from
AD5–AD0. In SHIFT RIGHT mode, the address is decoded from AD4–AD0. The Shift
Right/Shift Left bit is written using a command to make the software writing to WR0 inde-
pendent of the state of the Shift Right/Shift Left bit.
While in the SHIFT LEFT mode, the register address is placed on AD4–AD0 and the
Channel Select bit A/B, is decoded from AD5. In SHIFT RIGHT mode, the register
address is again placed on AD4–AD1 but the Channel Select A/B is decoded from AD0.
Since Z80230 does not contain 16 read registers, the decoding of the read registers is not
complete; this state is listed in Table 4 on page 23 and Table 5 by parentheses around the
register name. These addresses may also be used to access the read registers. The Z80230
contains only one WR2 and WR9; these registers may be written from either channel.
SHIFT LEFT mode is used when Channel A and B are programmed differently. Using
SHIFT LEFT mode allows the software to sequence through the registers of one channel
at a time. The SHIFT RIGHT mode is used when the channels are programmed the same.
By incrementing the address, you can program the same data value into bo th Channel A
and Channel B registers.

Read Registers
The ESCC contains ten read registers (eleven, counting the receive buffer RR8) in each
channel. Four of these may be read to obtain status information (RR0, RR1, RR10, and
RR15).
Two registers, RR12 and RR13, are read to learn the BRG time constant. RR2 contains
either the unmodified interrupt vector, Channel A, or the vector modified by status infor-
mation, Channel B.
RR3 contains the Interrupt Pending (IP) bits for Channel A.
RR6 and RR7 contain the information in the SDLC Frame Status FIFO, but is only read
when WR15 bit 2 is 1. If WR7’ bit 6 is 1, Write Registers WR3, WR4, WR5, and WR10
can be read as RR9, RR4, RR5, and RR14, respectively. Table 25 on page 54 thro ugh
Table 40 on page 69 list the format of the read registers.

Z80230 Interface Timing
Z80230 Write Cycle Timing
The Z-Bus compatible ESCC is suited for system applications with multiplexed address/
data buses.
Two control signals, AS and DS, are used by the Z80230 to control bus transactions. Addi-
tionally, four other control signals (CS0, CS1, RW, and INTACK) control the type of bus
transaction that occurs. A bus transaction is initiated by AS. The rising edge latches the
register address on the Address/Data bus and the state of INTACK and CS0.
In addition to bus transactions, the interrupt section uses the AS to set Interrupt Pending
(IP) bits. Therefore, AS must be kept cycling for the interrupt section to function.
The Z80230 generates internal control signals in response to a register access. Because AS
and DS have no defined phase relationship with PCLK, the circuitry generating these
internal control signals provide time for metastable conditions to disappear. This action
results in a recovery time related to PCLK.
This recovery time applies only to transactions involving the Z80230, and any intervening
transactions are ignored. This recovery time is four PCLK cycles, measured from the fall-
ing edge of DS for one access to the ESCC, to the falling edge of DS for a subsequent
access. Figure 17 displays the Write cycle timing.

Z80230 Read Cycle Timing
The Read Cycle Timing for the Z80230 is displayed in Figure 18. The register address on
A7-A0, as well as the state of CS0 and INTACK, are latched by the rising edge of AS.
R/W must be High before DS falls to indicate a Read cycle. The Z80230 data bus drivers
are enabled while CS1 is High and DS is Low.
Figure 18. Z80230 Read Cycle Timing
Z80230 Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle Timing
The Interrupt Acknowledge cycle timing for the Z80230 is displayed in Figure 19 on page
72. The address on A7-A0 and the state of CS0 and INTACK are latc hed by the rising -
edge of AS. Howe ver, if INTACK is Low. The address on A7-A0, CS0, CS1, and R/W
are ignored for the duration of the interrupt acknowledge cycle.
The Z80230 samples the state of INTACK on the rising edge of AS, and AC parameters.
Parameters 7 and 8 of Table 45 on page 83, specify the setup and hold time requirements.
Between the rising edge of AS and the falling edge of DS, the internal and external daisy
chains settle, as specified in parameter 29. A system with no external daisy chain provides
the time priority internal to the ESCC. Systems using an external daisy chain must refer to
Note 5 of Table 45, for the time required to settle the daisy chain.
If there is an interrupt pending in the ESCC, and IEI is High when DS falls, the acknowl-
edge cycle is inte nd e d for the ESCC. Consequently, the Z80230 sets the Interrupt Under
Service (IUS) latch for the highest priority pending interrupt, and places an interrupt vec-

tor on A7-A0. WR9 bit 1 is set to 1 to disable the placing of a vector on a bu s. The INT pin
also goes inactive in response to the falling edge of DS. There is only one DS per interrupt
acknowledge cycle.
IP bits in the Z80230 are updated by AS, which can delay interrupt requests if the proces-
sor does not supply AS strobes during the time in between accesses of the Z80230.

Z85230/L Ti ming
The ESCC generates internal control signals from WR and RD that relate to PCLK.
Because PCLK had no defined phase relationship with WR and RD, the circuitry generat-
ing the internal control signals provides time for metastable conditions to disappear. This
causes a recovery time related to PCLK . The recovery time applies only to bus transac-
tions involving the ESCC. The recovery time required for proper operation is specified

from the falling edge of WR or RD in the first transaction in volving the ESCC, to the fall-
ing edge of WR or RD in the second transaction. This time must be at least four PCLKs
regardless of which register or channel is accessed.
Z85230/L Read Cycle Timing
Figure 20 displays Read Cycle timing. Addresses on A/B and D/C and the status on
INTACK must remain stable throughout the cycle. The effective RD time reduces if CE
falls after RD falls, or if it rises before RD rises.
Figure 20. Read Cycle Timing (Z85230/L)
Z85230/L Write Cycle Timing
Figure 21 on page 74 displays Write Cycle timing. Addresses on A/B and D/C and the sta-
tus on INTACK must remain stable throughout the cycle. The effective WR time reduces
if CE fall s after WR falls, or if it rises before WR rises. In W rite Cycle timing, the WR sig-
nal returns a High slightly before the Address goes invalid.
Because many popular CPUs do not guarantee that the databus is valid when WR is Low,
the ESCC no longer requires a valid databus when the WR pin is Low. For more informa-
tion, see AC characteristics parameter 29 available in Table 47 on page 90.

Z85230/L Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle Timing
Figure 22 displays Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle timing. Between the time INTACK goes
Low and the falling edge of RD, the internal and external IEI/IEO daisy chains settle. If
there is an interrupt pending in the ESCC and IEI is High when RD falls, the Acknowl-
edge cycle is inte nd e d for the ESCC. In this case, the ESCC may be programmed to
respond to RD Low by placing its interrupt vector on D7–D0. It then sets the appropriate
IUS latch internally. If the external daisy chain is not used, then AC Parameter 38 is
required to settle the interrupt priority daisy chain internal to the ESCC. If the external
daisy chain is used, follow the equation in AC Characteristics Note 5 (Table 47 on
page 90) to calculate the required daisy chain settle time.

1. Parameter does not apply to Interrupt Acknowledge transactions.
2. Parameter applies only between transactions involving the ESCC.
3. Float delay is defined as the time required for a ±0.5 V change in the output with a maximum DC load and a min-
imum AC load.
4. Open-drain output, measured with open-drain test load.
5. Parameter is system-dependent. For any Zilog ESCC in the daisy chain. TdAS (DSA) must be greater than the
sum of TdAS (IEO) for the highest priority device in the daisy chain. TsIEI (DSA) for the Zilog ESCC, and TdIEI
(IEO) for each device separating them in the daisy chain.
6. Parameter applies only to a Zilog ESCC pulling INT Low at the beginning of the Interrupt Acknowledge transac-
tion.
7. Internal circuitry allows for the reset provided by the Z8
®

Z80230/Z85230/L Errata
The current revision of Zilog’s ESCC has six known bugs. This section identifies these
bugs and provides workarounds.
IUS Problem Description
The IUS problem occurs under the following conditions:
SDLC 10x19 Status FIFO is enabled
Interrupts on Receive Special Conditions only
This mode is intended for an application where received characters are read by a DMA
controller. EOF is treated differently from other special conditions (for example, parity
error, overrun error, and CRC error).
When EOF is detected, the following conditions occur:
A Receive Character Available (RCA) interrupt is generated, rather than the Special
Conditions interrupt, as in other operating modes.
The data FIFO is not locked, as in other operating modes, and is known as the Anti-
Lock feature.
This feature allows the processor to service the EOF interrupt with more latency. Immedi-
ate attention from the processor is not necessary because the da ta FIFO is not locked.
Incoming data can still be delivered to the Receive FIFO and not get lost. It also allows for
operation with no servicing of the interrupt.
When the EOF interrupt (RCA interrupt) is serviced, the processor must use the Reset
Highest IUS command to clear the EOF.
If an EOF interrupt occurs when another lower priority interrupt is enabled (for example,
Ext/Status interrupt is serviced) the Reset Highest IUS command issued by the lower
priority ISR (to clear out the pending interrupt) can accidentally clear the pending EOF
interrupt.
The Reset Highest IUS command clears the IP bit related to the EOF (in this mode, the
RCA IP bit) regardless of the priorities of the pending interrupts. This action causes errors
under the following circumstances:
Another ESCC interrupt is being serviced (for example, an Ext/Status interrupt for
Transmitter Underrun in Full Duplex operation)
The DMA reads a byte marked with EOF. The corresponding IP bit is set to 1 and the
INT line goes Low (highest priority interrupt in the daisy chain).
PS005309-0515 Z80230/Z85230/L Errata
Z80230/Z85230/L
Product Specification
100
The processor does not acknowledge this interrupt because it is servicing another
interrupt.
The processor finishes servicing the oth er interrupt and uses the Reset Highest IUS
command.
The IP bit reset corresponding to the EOF, and the EOF interrupt is lost.
IUS Problem Solutions
The following methods can be used to work around the previously described pr oblems.
Alternate Operating Mode–A similar operating mode can be used to achieve the same
functionality with minimum code modifications. The ESCC must operate in Receive
Interrupts on First Character and Special Condition, instead of Receive Interrupt on
Special Condition Only.
In this mode, the Anti-Lock feature is not enabled. The FIFO is locked after the last
character of a frame has been transferred, and the interrupt condition does not
disappear until after an Error Reset command is issued to the ESCC. No Reset
Highest IUS command can clear any IP bit.
Daisy Chain– This workar ound uses the following two conditions:
The EOF interrupt is the highest priority interrupt if only one channel is used.
Channel A is the only channel issuing interrupts.
If both conditions are satisfied, allowing nested interrupts can solve the problem.
The processor servicing an interrupt on the daisy chain must be interruptible again
from another interrupt of higher priority on that same daisy chain.
RR7 Register–This workaround is applicable if the EOF interrupt is used only to
notify another part of the software that there has been another frame received:
Read RR7 after issuing the Reset IUS command.
Check bit 6 of RR7. This bit, when set, indicates that the SDLC frame FIFO con-
tains a valid frame. Although one interrupt might have been lost (IP reset) by the
Reset IUS command, bit 6 of RR7 always indicates that at least one frame is
available in the frame FIFO. If bit 6 of RR7 is 1, notify the concerned part of th e
software that at least one frame is available in the frame FIFO.
When the SDLC FIFO is enabled and Receive Interrupts on Special Conditions Only is
selected, software checks that there is a Receive Character Available interrupt, which is
generated by DMA reading an EOF character, and before issuing the Reset Highest
IUS command. Otherwise, the EOF interrupt conditions are cleared by that command.

RTS Problem Description
The ESCC (Z80230/Z85230/L) contains a functional problem in Automatic RTS Deacti-
vation (see Figure 36 on page 102).
This mode is intended for SDLC applications where the RTS signal from the ESCC is used
to enable a line driver in multi-drop line communications.
Before the frame transmission, RTS is asserted by an Activate RTS command (ER5 bit1
equals 0).
After the last data bit of a frame is sent, a Transmit Underrun interrupt is requested. A
Deactivate RTS command is issued (WR5 bit 1 equals 1) to deactivate the RTS signal to
turn off the line driver after the multiple-frame packet is sent.
On the SCC, the processor must monitor the data line to ensure that the frame has been
sent before it issues the Deactivate RTS command.
On the ESCC, RTS can be programmed to deactivate automatically after the frame is sent.
If the following sequence is performed, additional monitoring is not required:
1. Enable Automatic RTS Deactivation (WR7’ bit 2 equals 1).
INT
Ext/Status IP
RCA IP
Ext/Status IUS
Ext/Status
Interrupt DMA read
EOF
Reset Highest
IUS from

Resetting highest IUS from lower priority interrupt clears the EOF (RCA) interrupt.

2. Enable the CRC/Flag on Underrun (WR10 bit 2 equals 0).
3. Issue a Deactivate RTS command in the Transmit Underrun ISR. The RTS signal
deactivates automatically after the closing flag disappears.
The Automatic RTS Deactivation command works for a single frame and for two
consecutive frames back-to-back. This command does not work with more than two back-
to-back frames.
In the latter condition, if the Deactivate RTS command is issued at the beginning of the
Transmit Underrun ISR. RTS is deactivated after the CRC is gone, but before the clos-
ing flag is sent. The final frame is not concluded, and is co rrup t ed.
RTS Problem Solutions
A workaround for the RTS problem is not to send back-to-back frames. Idle time is
inserted between frames.
There is, however , a limitation to this workaround in that the system throughput is reduced
by the idle time inserted between the frames.
Figure 36 displays Automatic RTS Deactivation.
Figure 36. Automatic RTS Deactivation
Automatic TxD Forced High Problem Description
If WR10 is programmed with bits 6 and 5 equal to 01 (NRZI), bit 3 equals 1 (Mark Idle)
and WR4 bits 5 and 4 equal 10 (SDLC), the TxD pin is forced High after detecting the last
bit of the closing flag at the falling edge of TxC. This feature does not work if back-to-
RTS Frame n-1 Frame n
TxD Flag Frame n-1 CRC Flag Frame n CRC Flag
RTS Frame n-1 Frame n
TxD Flag Frame n-1 CRC Flag Frame n CRC Flag
RTS deactivates correctly (after the closing flag)
if only one back-to-back frame is sent.
RTS deactivates too soon, after the CRC, but before the closing
flag if more than two back-to-back frames are sent.
RTS must deactivate
after the last closing
flag is gone.

back frames are se nt. The TxD outp ut is automa tically forced High for ei ght bit-t imes and
the first byte of the second frame is corrupted. In a multiple-frame transmission, a zero (0)
bit is inserted before the opening flag of the second frame.
Automatic TxD Forced High Problem Solutions
Send back-to-back frames in FLAG IDLE mode, because the Automatic TxD Forced High
feature creates problems only if all the following conditions are true:
Back-to-back frame transmission
NRZI
Mark Idle
Setting the system in Flag Idle mode (WR10 bit 3 equals 0) in frame transmission allows
back-to-back frames to be sent without any data corruption.
SDLC FIFO Overflow Problem Description
In SDLC mode, bit 7 of RR7 (FIFO Overflow status bit) is set if an 1 1th frame ends while
the FIFO is full (that is, ten frames have accumulated in the Status FIFO and have not yet
been read by the processor). Under this circumstance, the status FIFO is locked and no
data can be written to the Status FIFO until bit 7 of RR7 is reset.
If the ESCC is set up in ANTI-LOCK mode (that is, the SDKC FIFO is used when
Receive Interrupts on Special Condition Only is enabled), the on ly method of resetting bit
7 of RR7(the FIFO Overflow bit) is to reset and set WR15 bit 2 (SDLC FIFO Enable Bit).
This action causes the SDLC FIFO to reset and all the SDLC frame information is lost.
With no Anti-Lock feature, the FIFO Overflow status bit is reset if the SDLC FIFO is
read.
If the ESCC is in NRZI and Mark Idle in back-to-back frame transmission, (one the FIFO
Overflow bit RR7 bit 7) is set, the only method of resetting the status is to reset and set
WR15 bit 2. This action causes the SDLC FIFO to reset and the unprocessed frame infor-
mation stored in the SDLC FIFO is lost.
SDLC FIFO Overflow Problem Solution
Do not use Receive Interrupts on Special Conditions Only and Mark Idle if there is a pos-
sibility of Status FIFO Overflow.
Default RR0 Value Problem Description
RR7 bit 7, the Break/Abort status bit, does not always clear after reset.
Default RR0 Value Problem Solution
Ignore the first bit 7 value read from RR0 after reset.

Default RR10 Value Problem Description
RR10 bit 6, the 2 clock missing bit, is sometimes erroneously set to indicate that the DPLL
detects a clock edge in two successive tries after hardware rese t.
Default RR10 Value Problem Solution
Ignore the first bit 7 value Read from RR10 after reset.
CRC Problem Description
The CRC cannot be interpreted from the Receive FIFO when one or two residue bits are
sent. The CRC value is received and checked correctly but is not loaded to the Receive
FIFO. The two types of CRC problems are described below:
Two Residue bits (Residue code is 000)
The last three bytes of the Receive FIFO read:
Bits 6 and 7 of the CRC are lost.
One Residue Bit (Residue code is 111)
The last three bytes of the Receive FIFO read:
Bit 7 of the CRC is lost.
The CRC is received and loaded into the Receive FIFO in other situations (that is, the 0, 3,
4, 5, 6, and 7 residue bits).
The Residue code, RR1 bits 3, 2, and 1, is reported independently of the number of residue
bits sent.
CRC Problem Solution
Ignore the CRC value read from the Receive FIFO if one or two residue bits are sent.
