PRODUCTION DATA.
The Universal Parallel Port (uPP) peripheral is a multichannel, high-speed parallel interface with dedicated data lines and minimal control signals. It is designed to interface cleanly with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) or digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with up to 16-bit data width (per channel). It may also be interconnected with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or other uPP devices to achieve high-speed digital data transfer. It can operate in receive mode, transmit mode, or duplex mode, in which its individual channels operate in opposite directions.
The uPP peripheral includes an internal DMA controller to maximize throughput and minimize CPU overhead during high-speed data transmission. All uPP transactions use the internal DMA to provide data to or retrieve data from the I/O channels. The DMA controller includes two DMA channels, which typically service separate I/O channels. The uPP peripheral also supports data interleave mode, in which all DMA resources service a single I/O channel. In this mode, only one I/O channel may be used.
The features of the uPP include:
