80C186XL/80C188XL
proper operation. Stated simply, missing
a setup or hold on an asynchronous pin
will result in something minor (i.e., a tim-
er count will be missed) whereas miss-
ing a setup or hold on a synchronous pin
result in system failure (the system will
‘‘lock up’’).
PACKAGE INFORMATION
This section describes the pin functions, pinout and
thermal characteristics for the 80C186XL in the
Quad Flat Pack (QFP), Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier
(PLCC), Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) and the Shrink
Quad Flat Pack (SQFP). For complete package
specifications and information, see the Intel Packag-
ing Outlines and Dimensions Guide (Order Number:
231369).
An input pin may also be edge or level
sensitive.
Column 4: Output States (for O and I/O types
only)
The state of an output or I/O pin is de-
pendent on the operating mode of the
device. There are four modes of opera-
tion that are different from normal active
mode: Bus Hold, Reset, Idle Mode, Pow-
erdown Mode. This column describes
the output pin state in each of these
modes.
Pin Descriptions
Each pin or logical set of pins is described in Table
3. There are four columns for each entry in the Pin
Description Table. The following sections describe
each column.
Column 1: Pin Name
In this column is a mnemonic that de-
scribes the pin function. Negation of the
signal name (i.e., RESIN) implies that
the signal is active low.
The legend for interpreting the information in the Pin
Descriptions is shown in Table 2.
Column 2: Pin Type
As an example, please refer to the table entry for
AD7:0. The ‘‘I/O’’ signifies that the pins are bidirec-
tional (i.e., have both an input and output function).
The ‘‘S’’ indicates that, as an input the signal must
be synchronized to CLKOUT for proper operation.
The ‘‘H(Z)’’ indicates that these pins will float while
the processor is in the Hold Acknowledge state.
R(Z) indicates that these pins will float while RESIN
is low.
A pin may be either power (P), ground
(G), input only (I), output only (O) or in-
put/output (I/O). Please note that some
pins have more than one function.
Column 3: Input Type (for I and I/O types only)
These are two different types of input
pins on the 80C186XL: asynchronous
and synchronous. Asynchronous pins
require that setup and hold times be met
only to guarantee recognition. Synchro-
nous input pins require that the setup
and hold times be met to guarantee
All pins float while the processor is in the ONCE
Mode (with the exception of X2).
