Address/Status Phase
Figure 3-10 shows signal timing relationships for the address/status phase of a bus cycle. A bus
cycle begins with the transition of ALE and S2:0. These signals transition during phase 2 of the
T-state just prior to T1. Either T4 or TI precedes T1, depending on the operation of the previous
bus cycle (see Figure 3-8 on page 3-9).
ALE provides a strobe to latch physical address information. Address is presented on the multi-
plexed address/data bus during T1 (see Figure 3-10). The falling edge of ALE occurs during the
middle of T1 and provides a strobe to latch the address. Figure 3-11 presents a typical circuit for
latching addresses.
The status signals (S2:0) define the type of bus cycle (Table 3-1). S2:0 remain valid until phase
1 of T3 (or the last TW, when wait states occur). The circuit shown in Figure 3-11 can also be
used to extend S2:0 beyond the T3 (or TW) state.
