MU9C8148
PIN DESCRIPTIONS (CONT’D)
Arbitration Signals between two MU9C8148s:
/RQ
(Request, Output, TTL)
The /RQ pin is used to arbitrate access to a shared LANCAM,
and goes LOW when access is required to the LANCAM. /RQ
of one MU9C8148 is connected to /RQI on the other
MU9C8148 to provide notification that a LANCAM access is
pending. One MU9C8148 is configured as Master, and the
other as Slave, to resolve conflicts. /RQ goes HIGH after the
LANCAM interface transactions are completed.
are 0000H after a Hardware reset (except for register 04H), all
three-state pins are High-Z, and all TTL output pins will be
HIGH.
/FULL, /EMPTY
(Full/Empty, Output, Open Drain)
If part of the Instruction buffer in the MU9C8148 is configured
as a FIFO, this active-LOW pin can be configured to signal
whether the FIFO is full (all entries contain valid data) or empty
(no entry contains data). The definition of this signal is
programmed in the FIFO Control register.
/RQI
(Request Indication, Input, TTL)
/INTEL
(HPI Selection, Input, TTL)
If /RQI goes LOW, another MU9C8148 has a request pending
for access to the LANCAM. The LANCAM interface on this chip
is then disabled, and execution of routines is posponed until
/RQI goes HIGH. This pin must be tied HIGH if it is not used.
The /INTEL pin identifies which type of microcontroller is
connected to the Host Processor interface. This pin is set LOW
for Intel-type addressing modes and HIGH for Motorola-type
addressing modes.
Miscellaneous:
/RESET
(Hardware Reset, Input, TTL)
Taking /RESET LOW for at least 2 RXC cycles sets the
MU9C8148 to a predefined state. The contents of all registers
VCC, GND
(Positive Power Supply and Ground)
These pins are the main power supply connections to the
MU9C8148. VCC must be held at +5V ± 10% relative to the
GND pin, which is at 0V (system reference potential), for
correct operation of the device.
