FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

2.3.5Bus Idle (BI) and HALT State

Most machine cycles of the SOS5A are associated with either a READ or WRITE opera- tion. There are two exceptions to this rule. The first exception takes place during M2 and M3 of the DAD instruction. The SOS5A requires six in- ternal T states to execute a DAD instruciton, but it is not desirable to have M1 be ten (four normal plus six extra)·states long. Therefore, the CPU generates two extra machine cycles that do not access either the memory or the 1/0. These cycles are referred to as BUS IDLE (BI) machine cycles. In the case of DAD, they are identical to MR cycles except that RD remains high and ALE is not generated. Note that READY is ignored during M2 and M3 of DAD.

The other time when the BUS IDLE machine cy- cle occurs is during the internal opcode genera- tion for the RST or TRAP interrupts. Figure 2-19illustrates the BI cycle generated in response to RST 7.5. Since this interrupt is rising-edge- triggered, it sets an internal latch; that latch is sampled at the falling edge of the next to the last T-state of the previous instruction. At this pOint the CPU must generate its own internal RESTART instruction which will (in subsequent machine cycles) cause the processor to push the program counter on the stack and to vector to location 3CH. To do this, it executes an OF machine cycle without issuing RD, generating the RESTART opcode instead. After M1, the CPU continues execution normally in all respects except that the state of the READY line is ignored during the BI cycle.

MCS-80/85 specifications

The Intel MCS-80/85 family, introduced in the late 1970s, is a seminal collection of microprocessors that played a pivotal role in the early days of computing. The MCS-80 series, initially targeting embedded systems and control applications, gained remarkable attention due to its innovative architecture and flexible programming capabilities.

The MCS-80 family is anchored by the 8080 microprocessor, which was one of the first fully integrated 8-bit microprocessors. Released in 1974, the 8080 operated at clock speeds ranging from 2 MHz to 3 MHz and featured a 16-bit address bus capable of addressing up to 64KB of memory. The processor’s instruction set included around 78 instructions, providing extensive capabilities for data manipulation, logic operations, and branching.

Complementing the 8080 was a suite of support chips, forming the MCS-80 platform. The most notable among them was the 8155, which integrated a static RAM, I/O ports, and a timer, tailored for ease of designing systems around the 8080. Other support chips included the 8085, which provided improvements with an integrated clock generator, making it compatible with more modern designs and applications.

The MCS-85 series, on the other hand, revolves around the 8085 microprocessor, which provided a more advanced architecture. The 8085 operated at clock speeds of up to 6 MHz and came with a 16-bit address bus, similar to its predecessor. However, it introduced more sophisticated features, including an enhanced instruction set and support for interrupt-driven programming. These enhancements made the 8085 especially appealing to developers working in real-time processing environments.

The MCS-80/85 family utilized NMOS technology, known for its lower power consumption and higher performance compared to previous technologies like TTL. The family’s architecture allowed for easy interfacing with a variety of peripherals, making it a favorite for educational institutions and hobbyists embarking on computer engineering projects.

With its robustness, versatility, and affordability, the Intel MCS-80/85 microprocessors laid the groundwork for many subsequent microcomputer systems and applications. The legacy of this powerful family continues to influence modern microprocessor design, emphasizing the importance of reliable architecture in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
