Overview

This document provides critical errata and added information for the MC68360 Quad Integrated Communication Controller (QUICC) User's Manual (Revision 1). It contains corrections for signal descriptions, pin functions, and memory mapping for dual-port RAM. Detailed updates are provided for bus operations, including byte write enable equations and MC68040 companion mode bus cycle behavior. The document also addresses hardware design considerations such as Vcc ramp-up requirements for specific mask sets (Rev C.0 vs. C.1), crystal and oscillator input clock configurations for the System Integration Module (SIM), and DRAM controller register definitions for refresh cycles and page mode operation.

Use Cases

  • Correcting hardware implementation based on MC68360 user manual Revision 1
  • Designing clock circuits using crystals or oscillators for QUICC microprocessors
  • Configuring DRAM controller registers for page mode and refresh cycles
  • Troubleshooting power-on reset issues in legacy MC68360-based systems
  • Interfacing MC68360 with MC68040 bus masters in companion mode

MC68EC040

NXP

The MC68EC040 and MC68040 type master is not supported when the QUICC is configured to a master mode.

MC68030

NXP

it will drive normal MC68030-type bus cycles with TT1 becoming DS again.

MC68040

NXP

In MC68040 companion mode, the QUICC understands MC68040-type bus cycles but cannot generate them.
