Circuit and Signal Operation
INITIATION
1
C o m p u t e r sends data available (DAV) and attention (ATN) true
signals.
2
Control latch U19 generates ready signal indicated by micropro-
cessor upon sensing DAV true signal.
3
I n t e r f a c e bus transceivers (IBT) U33 and U7 receive first data word
from computer and transmit it to bit decode circuits.
Interface bus transceiver U34 receives ATN control work from compu-
4
ter and transmits it to bit decode circuits.
U6 receives ATN and READY signals and sets U19.
5
6
U19 receives ATN and READY signals and sets U8.
U8 transmits ready for data (RFD) true from U19 to computer.
7
T r a n s m i t s computer response, DAV true signal, to microprocessor
via U22.
D A V goes false.
