GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Z80189/Z8L189 are cost-effective modem controllers
that address a new generation of data pumps having the
HDLC formatting feature. Data pumps of these types do
not require an HDLC interface; therefore, the Z80189 does
not need the ESCC™. The addition of the PC DMA Mailbox
RegistersallowDMAdatatransferbetweenthePCmemory
andthemodemspeaker/microphoneCODEC.TheZ80189
is a smart peripheral controller chip for modem (in particu-
lar V.34 applications), fax, voice messaging, and other
communications applications.
TheintegrationofCOMPortDecodecircuitrytotheZ80189
allows the MIMIC to be selected for a specific COM Port
Address (PC COM Port Address 1-4). COM Port Decode
circuitry is simplified by allowing the user to select the
MIMIC COM Port addresses through software, in addition
to eliminating the need for external circuitry required for
COM Port Decode logic.
The PC DMA and I/O Mailbox Interface can be used to
provide communication paths between the PC Host and
theZ80189. Thesenewcommunicationpathscanbeused
for voice, DTAD, or jumperless COM Port selection.
The Z80189/Z8L189 consists of an enhanced Z8S180
microprocessor, a 16550 MIMIC with increased MIMIC
drivecapability fordirectconnectiontotheIBMPC, XT, AT
bus, and 24 bits of parallel I/O. Current PC modem soft-
ware compatibility can be maintained with the Z80189's
ability to mimic the 16550 UART chip. The Z80180 core is
the intelligent controller between the data pump and
16550 MIMIC interface when used in internal applications.
This intelligent controller performs the data compression
and error correction on outgoing and incoming data.
Notes:
All Signals with a preceding front slash, "/", are active Low, e.g.:
B//W (WORD is active Low); /B/W (BYTE is active Low, only).
