Introduction
The SEROCCO-M is a Serial Communication Controller with two independent serial channels1). The serial channels are derived from updated protocol logic of the ESCC and DSCC4 device family providing a large set of protocol support and variety in serial interface configuration. This allows easy integration to different environments and applications.
