FLG—Command Semaphore Flag
The bit is set by the M68000 core and cleared by the CP.
0 = The CP is ready to receive a new command.
1 = The CR contains a command that the CP is currently processing. The CP clears
this bit at the end of command execution. Note that the execution of the STOP
TRANSMIT or RESTART TRANSMIT commands may not affect the TXD pin until
many clocks after the FLG bit is cleared by the CP due to the transmit FIFO latency.
4.3.1 Command Execution Latency
Commands are executed at a priority higher than the SCCs, but less than the priority of the
DRAM refresh controller. The longest command, the ENTER HUNT MODE command, ex-
ecutes in 41 clocks. All other commands execute in less than 20 clocks. The maximum com-
mand latency is calculated as follows:
Command execution time (41 or 20) +
25 clocks if DRAM refresh controller is used +
—205 clocks if any SCC is enabled with BISYNC; or
—165 clocks if any SCC is enabled with Transparent; or
—165 clocks if any SCC is enabled with HDLC; or
—150 clocks if any SCC is enabled with UART; or
—140 clocks if any SCC is enabled with DDCMP; else
—0
For example, if HDLC and UART modes are used on the SCCs with the DRAM refresh con-
troller operating, the maximum command latency is 41 + 25 + 165 = 231 clocks = 13
16.67 MHz. The equations assume that the DRAM refresh cycle occurs once during the
command latency. Note that commands are typically given only in special error-handling sit-
uations and that the typical latency is much less than the worst case value.

4.4 SERIAL CHANNELS PHYSICAL INTERFACE
The serial channels physical interface joins the physical layer serial lines to the three SCCs
and the two SMCs. (The separate three-wire SCP interface is described in 4.6 Serial Com-
munication Port (SCP).)
The MC68302 supports four different external physical interfaces from the SCCs:
1. NMSI—Nonmultiplexed Serial Interface
2. PCM—Pulse Code Modulation Highway
3. IDL—Interchip Digital Link
4. GCI—General Circuit Interface
The most generic physical interface on the MC68302 is the nonmultiplexed serial interface
(NMSI). The NMSI consists of seven of the basic modem (or RS-232) signals: TXD, TCLK,
RXD, RCLK, RTS, CTS, and CD. Each SCC can have its own set of NMSI signals as shown
in Figure 4-3. In addition to the NMSI, the baud rate generator clocks may be output on sep-
arate BRG pins as shown. All NMSI2 pins are multiplexed with parallel I/O pins. The user
may choose which NMSI2 pins are used by the SCC2 and which are used as parallel I/O.
On NMSI3, the TXD, TCLK, RXD, and RCLK pins are multiplexed with parallel I/O lines;
