The SOC004, Serial Output Controller, is a full
size ISA-PC/ AT printed circuit card. The Serial Output Controller
generates a serial output data stream using either static or dynamically
updated data loaded from the ISA-bus. With ample memory buffers
on-board, any of several modes of data generation may be used. Data is
output repeatedly or in bursts. Data to be serialized may be
continuously updated by way of the ISA-bus master. A frequency
synthesizer, resident on the module, allows precise bit rates to be
generated.

Operating Modes
|
- Single Buffer
While data is output from buffer A, the alternate buffer B may be
loaded with the new data. At the end of the current buffer (A), the
SOC004 will switch to the alternate buffer (B).
- Dual Buffer Output
The SOC004 automatically Ping-Pongs between buffers A and B.
Alternately, output is derived from a single buffer until released
to the other.
- Burst
If the BURST MODE is selected, the SOC004 ends the data and clock
transmission at the end of the currently selected buffer.
