FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

logical choices, since they both force the pro- cessor to push the contents of the program counter onto the stack before jumping to a new location. In Figure 2-17it is assumed that a CALL opcode is sent to the CPU during M1The CALL opcode could have been placed there bya device like the 8259 programmable interrupt controller.

After receiving the opcode, the processor then decodes it and determines, in this case, that the CALL instruction requires two more bytes. The CPU therefore performs a second INA cycle (M2) to access the second byte of the instruction from the 8259. The timing of this cycle is iden- tical to M1, except that it has only three .T states. M2 is followed by another INA cycle (M3) to access the third byte of the CALL instruction from the 8259.

Now that the CPU has accessed the entire in- struction used to acknowledge the interrupt, it will execute that instruction.. Note that any in- struction could be used (except EI or 01, the in-· structions which enable or disable interrupts), but the RESTART and CALL instructions are the most logical choices. Also notice that the CPU inhibited the incrementing of the program counter (PC) during the three INA cycles, so that the correct PC value can be pushed onto the stack during M4 and M5'

During M4 and Ms, the CPU performs MEMORY WRITE machine cycles to write the upper and then lower bytes of the PC onto the top of the stack. The CPU then places the two bytes ac- c,essed in M2 and M3 into the lower and upper bytes of the PC. This has the effect of jumping the execution of the program to the location specified by the CALL instruction.

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.
