1 General Information The Quatech, Inc. DSCLP-200/300 (two-port) and SSCLP- 200 /300 (one-port) provides upto provides two RS- 422 or RS-485 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI expansion bus . The DSCLP-200/300 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design. Legacy serial p[...]

2 Hardware Configuration The DSCLP-200/300 is automatically configured at boot time by the computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers to set for installation. This chapter lists a number of jumper settings that control various hardware features. Jumpers J1-J4 , located in a column near the D-9 connectors, co[...]

2 . 2 Signal Connections The DSCLP-200/300 provides each of two serial ports with four differential signal pairs: TxD, RxD, AUXOUT, and AUXIN. TxD and RxD are always present at the connector. The AUXOUT and AUXIN signals can be used to support RTS/CTS handshaking, external clocking, or external signal loopback. The factory default configuration, as[...]

4 Address Map and Special Registers This chapter explains how the two UARTs and special registers are addressed, as well as the layout of those registers. This material will be of interest to programmers writing driver software for the DSCLP-200/300. 4 . 1 Base Address and Interrupt Level (IRQ ) The base address and IRQ used by the DSCLP-200/300 ar[...]

4 . 2 Enabling the Special Registers The DSCLP-200/300 contains two unique registers, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register. These registers are enabled when the SPAD jumper (J13) is removed (factory default). They replace the UART Scratchpad Register on accesses to register address 7. The Interrupt Status Register and Options Regist[...]

4 . 4 Quatech Modem Control R egister The Quatech Modem Control Register can be used to setup each port. To access QMCR write a 0 xBF to the LCR(base + 3) and a 0x10 to t he Opt Reg (base+7) . This will allow the user read/write access to QMCR . The QMCR of the entire DSCLP-200/300, as shown in Figure 9 a. The individual bits are cleared as the int[...]

4 . 5 Options Register The Options Register allows software to identify the DSCLP-200/300 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier. Figure 10 shows the structure of the Options Register. The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero. Clock rate multiplier bit 0 RR0 0 Clock ra[...]

4 . 5 . 2 Clock Rate Multiplier A standard serial port operates at a clock speed of 1.8432 MHz. In order to achieve higher data rates, Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can operate at two times or four times this standard clock speed. This is controlled by the clock rate multiplier bits in the Options Register. Software can determine the UART clock [...]

7 External Connections The DS CLP-200/300 provides four differential communication signals per channel. The two output signals are Transmit Data (TxD) and Auxiliary Output (AUXOUT). The two input signals are Receive Data (RxD) and Auxiliary Input (AUXIN). A ground signal is also provided. The available input signals for AUXIN are Clear To Send (CTS[...]

7 . 1 RTS/CTS Handshake Transmission of RTS, combined with reception of CTS, allows for hardware handshaking (data flow control) between the UART and the external device. RTS is transmitted on AUXOUT by connecting pins 4 and 5 of the jumper block. CTS is received on AUXIN by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block. If RTS/CTS handshaking is not[...]

7 . 3 XCLK This is the output clock signal used by the transmitter portion of the UART. It is generally connected to the UART's own receive clock input (RCLK). This is done by connecting pins 3 and 6 of the jumper block. If desired, XCLK can be transmitted to an external source over the AUXOUT line by connecting pins 5 and 6 of the jumper bloc[...]

7 . 5 Half-Duplex/Full-Duplex Selection Using jumper blocks J6 and J8, the transmitters and receivers of each channel can be enabled and disabled by modem control signals. This allows operation in both half-duplex or full-duplex modes. The transmit drivers can be controlled by either the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) or the Request to Send (RTS) output[...]
