Functional Description
MVME162IG/D2
1-15
1
is an 8 bit device; however, the interface provided by the MCchip supports 8-
bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit accesses to the MK48T08. Refer to the MCchip descrip- 
tion in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide and to 
the MK48T08 data sheet for detailed programming and battery life 
information.
VMEbus Interface and VMEchip2
The local bus to VMEbus interface and the VMEbus to local bus interface are 
provided by the optional VMEchip2. The VMEchip2 can also provide the 
VMEbus system controller functions. Refer to the VMEchip2 description in the 
MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for detailed 
programming information.
Note that the 
ABORT
 switch logic in the VMEchip2 is not used. The GPI inputs 
to the VMEchip2 which are located at $FFF40088 bits 7-0 are not used. The 
ABORT
 switch interrupt is integrated into the MCchip ASIC at location 
$FFF42043. The GPI inputs are integrated into the MCchip ASIC at location 
$FFF4202C bits 23-16.
I/O Interfaces
The MVME162 provides onboard I/O for many system applications. The I/O 
functions include serial ports, IndustryPack (IP) interfaces, optional LAN 
Ethernet transceiver interface, and optional SCSI mass storage interface.
Serial Communications Interface
The MVME162 uses a Zilog Z85230 serial communications controller to 
implement the two serial communications interfaces. Each interface supports 
CTS, DCD, RTS, and DTR control signals; as well as the TxD and RxD 
transmit/receive data signals, and TxC/RxC synchronous clock signals.
The Z85230 supports synchronous (SDLC/HDLC) and asynchronous 
protocols. The MVME162 hardware supports asynchronous serial baud rates 
of 110b/s to 38.4Kb/s.
The Z85230 supplies an interrupt vector during interrupt acknowledge cycles. 
The vector is modified based upon the interrupt source within the Z85230. 
Interrupt request levels are programmed via the MCchip. Refer to the Z85230 
data sheet listed in this chapter, and to the MCchip Programming Model in the 
MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide, for information. 
MVME162 Serial Port 1
The A port of the Z85230 is interfaced as DCE (data circuit-terminating 
equipment) with the EIA-232-D interface and is routed to:
