Table 4. Bus Compatibility Analysis (see Figure 11) (Cont'd)

The numbers in Table 4 were obtained by using the following delay assumptions (Table 5) and very conservative tech- niques of obtaining minimum 8085A timings. Where no direct specification applied, minimum specs were added assuming o ns for any rise or fall times. This is more conservative than necessary. Another approach can be made from the clock related timings discussed in an earlier section.

Table 5. Delay Assumptions

An exhaustive approach as Table 4 will more than pay itself back in terms of debugging the circuit. However, while this analysis may be helpful in understanding an existing circuit, it won'thelp as much in creating a new one. A general proce- dure for designing with memories is itemized below:

1.Determine how much processor time is available for mem- ory access. Access from addresses is the most important parameter.

2.Determine how much buffering will be used (both to and from the memory) and how much delay there will be due to decode or qualifications in the circuit (in the memory design in Fig. 11, WR qualifies a write). Subtract these resulting delays from step 1 to get an effective access for the memory. If multiplexed address RAM is used go to 3, if not go to 4.

3.Determine how the RAS and CAS timings will be gener- ated, be it one shots, delay lines, shift registers, etc. Adjust memory access available for the method chosen.

4.Select a memory that meets this criterion.

5.Design the system to meet all the specified parameters of the memory and verify.

Steps 1, 2 and 4 have been done for you in the Memory Compatibility Table for ROM, EPROM and Static RAM mem- ories in a medium and minimum system. Remember - for dynamic RAM, Intel will soon be providing an 8202, a refresh, dynamic RAM controller that generates all RAS, CAS control signals for a 64 kByte memory (made of 2117s).

Peripheral Compatibility - 3.125 and 5 MHz

Intel supports its processors with many LSI peripheral com- ponents that do a wide range of functions to simplify circuit design. The 8085A compatible peripherals have been denoted the "-5" notation to show compatibility. The "-5" notation also signifies that these devices are compatible with the 8085A-2 with one wait state interjected. This wait state is produced by taking the ready line low at the proper time as shown in Figure 19.

A list of these peripherals is shown in Table 6 with corres- ponding relevant specifications to illustrate 8085A-2 compat- ibility. The analYSis for determining the resulting timings is similar to the analysis in the previous memory compatibility section.

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.
