UPGRADING FROM XR88C681 XR88C92/192
Author: INTRODUCTION This application note describes hardware firmware differences between XR88C681 XR88C92/192 well steps involved upgrading XR88C681 newer XR88C92/192. this note, XR88C681 will referred C681 device XR88C92, XR88C192 family devices will referred C92/192. Also, this application note must used along with datasheets these devices complete understanding differences. HARDWARE DIFFERENCES PACKAGE C681 C92/192 fully pin-to-pin compatible 44-PLCC package footprint only. C681 also available 28-PDIP, 40-PDIP 40-CDIP packages. C92/192 also available 44-TQFP package. OPERATING VOLTAGE C681 device only. C92/192 operate from 2.97 5.5V also tolerant inputs. CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR frequency input clock only 7.372MHz C681, whereas 24MHz C92/192 VCC. FIFO DEPTH C681 3-byte FIFOs whereas 8-byte FIFOs C192 16-byte FIFOs. FIRMWARE DIFFERENCES following discussion, firmware differences briefly explained. Please refer datasheets XR88C681 XR88C92/192 more details. internal registers very similar C681 C92/192. Table below shows differences: TABLE INTERNAL REGISTERS XR88C681 XR88C92/192

MODE REGISTERS MR0A, MR0B: MR0A, MR0B registers following functionality C92/192: Bit-7: Watchdog Timer (See datasheet details) Bit-6: Trigger Level page details) Bits 5,4: Trigger Level page details) 3,1: Reserved (Bit-1 used factory test mode) Bits MR0A: Extended baud rate tables (See datasheet details); bits MR0B reserved INTERRUPT VECTOR REGISTER (IVR): special Z-mode, XR88C681 uses this register placing interrupt vector. I-mode, this register General Purpose Register (GPR). This register C92/192 which supports only Imode does support Z-mode.

MASKED INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER MISR: This register ANDs values write-only Interrupt Mask Register (IMR) Interrupt Status Register (ISR) together. MISR value [ISR value] [IMR value] C92/192, user needs store value written into ANDing operation software. COMMAND REGISTER (CRA, CRB) DIFFERENCES: upper nibble Command Register both C681 C92/192 used issue various commands. While many commands same, some different shown Table below: TABLE COMMANDS DESCRIPTION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN XR88C681 XR88C92/192

RECEIVE TRIGGER LEVELS: C681 provides choice generating Receive Ready interrupt either each character received when FIFO full (via bit-6). C92/192 combines this bit-6 provide four trigger levels follows:
TRIGGER LEVELS BIT-6 BIT-6 XR88C92 (8-BYTE FIFO) byte FIFO bytes FIFO bytes FIFO bytes FIFO XR88C192 (16-BYTE FIFO) byte FIFO bytes FIFO bytes FIFO bytes FIFO
TRANSMIT TRIGGER LEVELS: C681 generates Transmit Ready interrupt only when transmit FIFO empty. C92/192 register bits provides four trigger levels shown table below:
TRIGGER LEVELS BIT-5 BIT-4 XR88C92 (8-BYTE FIFO) FIFO Fully Empty FIFO locations empty FIFO locations empty FIFO location empty XR88C192 (16-BYTE FIFO) FIFO Fully Empty FIFO locations empty FIFO locations empty FIFO location empty
BAUD RATE TABLES There four baud rate tables available C681 baud rate tables available C92/192. parameters that select baud rate table decide baud rate C681 are:
bits clock bits clock bit-7 Select Extend clock Select Extend clock
parameters that select baud rate table decide baud rate C92/192 are:
bits clock bits clock bit-7 MR0A bit-0 Extended Baud Rate Table MR0A bit-2 Extended Baud Rate Table
first parameters identical C681 C92/192. remaining parameters result different baud rates. Please refer datasheets complete listing baud rates. SUMMARY direct drop-in replacement XR88C681 XR88C92 XR88C192, following conditions must satisfied: 44-PLCC package used used Z-mode used MISR used Extended baud rate selection used Stand-by mode used Otherwise, hardware and/or software changes required.
