Features:
- (2) or (4) Synchronous/Asynchronous Serial Ports
- Directly Addressable Onboard Memory
- Program-Initiated DMA Transfers
The Digi SYNC/570(i) Series Synchronous Communications Controllers are high-performance expansion
boards for ISA or Micro Channel computers. The SYNC/570 adds two synchronous/asynchronous serial ports while the SYNW57Oi adds two or four
synchronous/ asynchronous ports. They are designed for applications
requiring cost-effective communications.
The Hitachi HD64570 Serial Communications Adapter WA) provides a
highly-integrated advanced communications subsystem for the SYNC/570
and the SYNW57Oi. It further maximizes synchronous communications
performance by using protocol-specific features to minimize driver
overhead.
The onboard memory of both the SYNC/570 and the SYIW57Oi is directly
addressable by both the system and the SCA's DMA. Program-initiated DMA
transfers operate at DMA/memory speed independently of other system
activity. This architecture provides low system overhead and high
performance.
The optional OEM software lock ensures that OEM software will operate
only with OEM-supplied boards.
The Digi SYNC/570i (and SYNC/570 optionally) includes Digi SurgeBlock, which is
designed to protect the board and the computer in which it is installed
against damage from data line surges.
Multiple SYNC/570 boards may share a common memory window. Micro
Channel boards may also share a common interrupt request line. The two ports of the SYNC/570 each have a high density DB-15 connector
to connect any device with an EIA-232-D interface to the user's computer. The
board operates at line speeds from 4800 baud to over 115K.
The SYNC/570i communicates at Tl/El line speeds up to 5 Mbps. Each
HI64570 chip supports two synchronous/asynchronous ports and four
channels of DMA as well as interrupt and timer logic.
Digi SYNC/570i has been manufactured with several interface options.
Multiple SYNC/570i boards may share a common memory window. Micro
Channel boards may also share a common interrupt request line
The Digi SYNC/570i Synchronous Communications Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
