Signal
I/O
Description
SDO-SD15
I/O
This is the system data bus. Data is
transferred to and from the system on
these lines. Sixteen-bit transfers occur on
~
SDO-SD15. Eight-bit transfers occur on
SDO-SD7, unless SBHE is asserted. In
which case, data is transferred on SD8-
SD15. Sixteen-bit to 8-bit transfers are
multiplexed by the backplane state
machine into two 8-bit transfers on SDO-
SD7.
-SMEMR
0
These signals indicate a memory read
-MEMR
I/O
cycle is progress. MEMR may be driven by
a DMA controller or by an external
microprocessor (if MASTER is asserted).
- SMEMR is active if - MEMR is active
and the address decode circuit indicates a
valid address in the bottom 1 Mbyte of
memory space. Both of these signals are
active low.
r
-SMEMW
0
These signals indicate a memory write
-MEMW
I/O
cycle is in progress. - MEMW may be
driven by a DMA controller or by an
external microprocessor (if MASTER is
asserted). - SMEMW is active if - MEMW
is active and the address decode circuit
indiactes a valid address in the bottom 1
Mbyte of memory space. Both of these
signals are active low.
SYSCLK
0
This is the 8 MHz processor system clock.
It has a 50% duty cycle and a period of
approximately 125 ns. This signal can be
used to synchronize activities to the
80286.
,..
T/C
0
This signal informs the system that the
terminal count for one of the DMA
channels has been reached. The signal is
active high.
