7-5. Main PCA Connector

The IEEE-488 PCA interfaces to the Main PCA through a 26-pin, right-angle connector (A5J1). This connector routes the 8-bit data bus, the lower three bits of the address bus, memory control, system clock, and address decode signals from the Main PCA to the IEEE-488 PCA. The IRQ2* interrupt request signal is routed from the IEEE-488 PCA to the Main PCA. The IEEE-488 PCA is powered by the +5.1V dc power supply (VCC). The IEEE-488 PCA is sensed by the Microprocessor on the Main PCA through the connection of logic common to the option sense signal OPS* (A5J1-22).

7-6. IEEE-488 Controller

The IEEE-488 Controller (A5U1) is an integrated circuit that performs the transfer of information between the IEEE-488 standard bus and the Main PCA Microprocessor (A1U4). Once it has been programmed by the Microprocessor via the eight-register microprocessor interface, A5U1 performs IEEE-488 bus transactions independently until it must interrupt the Microprocessor for additional information or data.

The IEEE-488 Controller is clocked by a 1.2288-MHz square-wave clock. This clock (A5U1-20) is generated by the Microprocessor. The IEEE-488 Controller uses this clock to run the internal state machines that handle IEEE-488 bus transactions. The IEEE-488 Controller is reset when the system RESET* signal (A5U1-21) is low.

For each character that it receives or transmits, the IEEE-488 Controller generates an interrupt to the Microprocessor. These interrupts are generated by driving the open-drain interrupt output A5U1-10 low. This signal drives the IRQ2* input to the Microprocessor low. When the Microprocessor responds to the interrupt and takes the necessary actions by reading and writing registers in the IEEE-488 Controller, A5U1-10 goes high again. Resistor A5R1 provides a pull-up termination on open-drain interrupt output A5U1-10.

When the Microprocessor performs a memory cycle to the IEEE-488 Controller, the lower three bits of the address bus select the register being accessed in A5U1. When a memory read cycle is performed, chip-enable A5U1-4 goes low, and A5U1-6 (DBIN) goes high. These actions enable A5U1, driving the contents of the selected register onto the data bus to the Microprocessor. When a memory write cycle is performed, chip- enable A5U1-4 goes low, and A5U1-5 (WE*) goes first low and then high to latch the data being driven from the Microprocessor into the IEEE-488 Controller.

The IEEE-488 Controller interfaces to the IEEE-488 Transceivers using an eight-bit data bus, eight interface signals, and two transceiver control signals (A5U1-33 and A5U1- 23).

The controller-in-charge signal (A5U1-33), which should always be high, controls the direction of the SRQ, ATN, IFC, and REN IEEE-488 transceivers in A5U3.

The talk enable output (A5U1-2) is either low when the IEEE-488 Controller is not addressed to talk or high when the controller is addressed to talk. This signal determines the direction of all IEEE-488 Transceivers except SRQ, ATN, IFC, and REN.
