SYSTEM TIMINGS

808SA elK-IN vs. ClK-OUT vs. Control Timings

This section shows timing characteristics that relate the input clock to the control signals and the output clock. These timings can be treated as constants, that is, within the normal opera- tive range of the processor, they are cycle or SOS5A, A-2 speed independent.

Be careful about manipulating the timings given in this section with the specifications in the data sheet. The specifications on the SOS5A, A-2 are not mutually exclusive; that is, you can'tadd minimums to minimums and obtain a valid mini- mum for some other timing parameter. Where the timing parameter is specified directly, this takes precedence over any other method you come up with to find that specification (through adding and subtracting others). This was not done to confuse the user, but to provide him with the most optimal timings for his system!

To understand the timing parameters in this section it would be helpful to understand how the internal signals are generated in the SOS5A. Referring to Figure 13, it is

seen that the rising edge of the X1 input causes flip·flop A to toggle. From this flip-flop two internal signals are generated that drive all functions in the SOS5A, A-2 and produce the output control signals and clock. Referring to Figure 15, it is seen that clock output is derived from the internal <1>1 signal in the schematic of Figure 14. This output Signal is a MOS output unlike the bipolar outputs of the S224 in the SOSOA system. This restricts the user to the loading limitations of a MOS driver (for further details see bus loading section). The rest ofthe output control signals with their respective internal controlling edges are also shown in Figure 14.

Since the path between the X1 input and the clock out- put can have a considerable amount of variance, the relationships of these two clocks vary significantly. Figures 15 and 16 are a set of timing diagrams il- lustrating the relationship of the clock input to the clock output to the various control signals. For designs that require these relationships to synchronize different systems, components, etc; the designer must allow for these variances in the rel3tionships.

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.
