Lesson 2 : Special System Support Chips
2.1. Learning ObjectivesOn completion of this lesson you will be able to describe:
Clock generator and driver (8284)
Interrupt Controller (8259)
Peripheral Interface Adapter (8255)
Timer (8253) Floppy Disk Controller Chip (8272).
2.2. Introduction
These devices are used to support the microprocessor. In older
computers each of these devices are built in discrete chips but in
modern computers, they are combined in one or two chips.
2.3. Clock Generator and Driver (8284)
This IC is used to supply clock pulses to the 8088 processor. In
80186 it is built into the processor itself. It is practically an
oscillator. It gets the oscillating input from a crystal or RC oscillator
circuit and converts this oscillating input to a rectangular
continuous pulse train of 0V and 5V.
2.4. Interrupt Controller (8259)
The CPU is connected with different controller devices like floppy
disk drive controller, display controller, keyboard controller etc.
These devices ask the service from the CPU by using interrupt
pins on the CPU.
Each controller connected with the CPU requires at least one
interrupt pin of the CPU; but the CPU has limited number of
interrupt pins. To solve this problem interrupt controller is used. It
expands the interrupt pins of the CPU. For example the 8259
interrupt controller expands one interrupt pin of the 8088 CPU to
8-64 interrupt pins, each of which can be connected with a
separate controller. Interrupt controller is also used to reduce
working load of the CPU dealing interrupts.
