QUICC
QUICC is the abbreviation of QUad Integrated Communications Controller. The original QUICC was the 68k-based Motorola 68360. It was followed by the PowerPC-based PowerQUICC, PowerQUICC II, PowerQUICC II+ and PowerQUICC III. Early chips used a separate RISC engine to control the serial interfaces, enhancing performance in these slower speed designs. The PQ2+ and PQ3 designs were the first in this family to offer Gigabit Ethernet speeds using more conventional ethernet controllers without the need for a RISC co-processor (there are some exceptions, such as the 832x bridge chips).
