IMSC012-P20S

Introduction

The INMOS communication link is a high speed system interconnect which provides full duplex communication between members of the transputer family, according to the INMOS serial link protocol. The IMS C011, a member of this family, provides for full duplex transputer link communication with standard microprocessor and sub-system architectures, by converting bi-directional serial link data into parallel data streams.
