Abstract
An interface device presents a generic serial input/output (I/O) port, whose function is programmable according to a stored sequence of instructions executed by a programmable state machine. The instructions cause the programmable state machine to define operation of the serial I/O port according to a standard or other predetermined set of serial I/O communication parameters.
