ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit chip for controlling the transmission of data between a host peripheral device and other peripheral devices or a remote processor in which the transmission of data takes place in either a processor interrupt mode or a direct memory access mode. The integrated circuit chip includes first, second, third and fourth sequentially located edges forming a rectangle. The chip further includes input circuitry located generally adjacent the corner formed by the third and fourth edges and output circuitry located adjacent the first edge. A plurality of counters/registers associated with the input and output circuits are located adjacent the third edge. A Command register located adjacent the third edge selects the transfer mode and controls the operation of the integrated circuit chip in either an output or input mode. The chip may operate in a transmit only mode, receive only mode or transmit and receive modes simultaneously. The output circuitry generates a bit stream which includes opening and closing flags, Manchester encoded data bits and a frame check signal (FCS) check data bit. The input circuitry monitors the incoming data bit stream for the address of the associated peripheral device. The input circuitry further decodes the incoming data bit stream and checks the FCS data bit received. A data bit stored in the Command register generates a diagnostic routine in which the output data bit stream is transferred to the input circuitry.
