1.1 INTRODUCTION
Combined with the Dragonball™ MC68328 microprocessor, FLEX™ One-way Stack
software and the FLEX Alphanumeric Chip Integrated Circuit (IC) MC68175 provide a
powerful solution for today’s and tomorrow’s personal portable communication
devices.
1.2 SCOPE
This application report describes the hardware and software interfaces between
the MC68328 (Dragonball) Microprocessor and the MC68175 (FLEX Alphanumeric
Chip) IC.
1.3 MC68328
The Motorola MC68328 (Dragonball) is a low-cost, low-power, highly integrated
microprocessor designed for consumer portable devices, such as PDAs, pagers, and
cellular phones. The Dragonball provides key features that are suitable for many
portable applications. Modules like the Real-Time Clock (RTC), LCD controller, pulse
width modulator, timers, master and slave Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) with infrared communications capability,
and the System Integration Module (SIM28) give product engineers the flexibility and
resources to design efficient and innovative products.
1.4 FLEX PROTOCOL
FLEX Protocol is the multispeed, high-performance paging protocol from Motorola that
is rapidly becoming the de facto paging standard, used by 70% of the world’s paging
service providers. The FLEX Protocol increases paging capability up to 10 times over
POCSAG, the previous paging protocol. Its synchronous communication capability with
the transmitter also enhances pager battery longevity.
