®82C59A

CMOS Priority Interrupt Controller

The Intersil 82C59A is a high performance CMOS Priority

Interrupt Controller manufactured using an advanced 2µm

CMOS process. The 82C59A is designed to relieve the

system CPU from the task of polling in a multilevel

priority system. The high speed and industry standard

configuration of the 82C59A make it compatible with

microprocessors such as 80C286, 80286, 80C86/88,

8086/88, 8080/85 and NSC800.

The 82C59A can handle up to eight vectored priority

interrupting sources and is cascadable to 64 without

additional circuitry. Individual interrupting sources can be

masked or prioritized to allow custom system configuration.

Two modes of operation make the 82C59A compatible with

both 8080/85 and 80C86/88/286 formats.

Static CMOS circuit design ensures low operating power.

The Intersil advanced CMOS process results in performance

equal to or greater than existing equivalent products at a

fraction of the power.

Functional Description

Interrupts in Microcomputer Systems

Microcomputer system design requires that I/O devices such

as keyboards, displays, sensors and other components

receive servicing in an efficient manner so that large

amounts of the total system tasks can be assumed by the

microcomputer with little or no effect on throughput.

The most common method of servicing such devices is the

Polled approach. This is where the processor must test each

device in sequence and in effect “ask” each one if it needs

servicing. It is easy to see that a large portion of the main

program is looping through this continuous polling cycle and

that such a method would have a serious, detrimental effect

on system throughput, thus, limiting the tasks that could be

assumed by the microcomputer and reducing the cost

effectiveness of using such devices.

Pin Description

SYMBOL TYPE DESCRIPTION

VCC I VCC: The +5V power supply pin. A 0.1µF capacitor between pins 28 and 14 is recommended for decoupling.

GND I GROUND

CS I CHIP SELECT: A low on this pin enables RD and WR communications between the CPU and the 82C59A. INTA

functions are independent of CS.

WR I WRITE: A low on this pin when CS is low enables the 82C59A to accept command words from the CPU.

RD I READ: A low on this pin when CS is low enables the 82C59A to release status onto the data bus for the CPU.

D7 - D0 I/O BIDIRECTIONAL DATA BUS: Control, status, and interrupt-vector information is transferred via this bus.

CAS0 - CAS2 I/O CASCADE LINES: The CAS lines form a private 82C59A bus to control a multiple 82C59A structure. These

pins are outputs for a master 82C59A and inputs for a slave 82C59A.

SP/EN I/O SLAVE PROGRAM/ENABLE BUFFER: This is a dual function pin. When in the Buffered Mode it can be used

as an output to control buffer transceivers (EN). When not in the Buffered Mode it is used as an input to

designate a master (SP = 1) or slave (SP = 0).

INT O INTERRUPT: This pin goes high whenever a valid interrupt request is asserted. It is used to interrupt the CPU,

thus, it is connected to the CPU's interrupt pin.

IR0 - IR7 I INTERRUPT REQUESTS: Asynchronous inputs. An interrupt request is executed by raising an IR input (low to

high), and holding it high until it is acknowledged (Edge Triggered Mode), or just by a high level on an IR input

(Level Triggered Mode). Internal pull-up resistors are implemented on IR0 - 7.

INTA I INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE: This pin is used to enable 82C59A interrupt-vector data onto the data bus by

a sequence of interrupt acknowledge pulses issued by the CPU.

A0 I ADDRESS LINE: This pin acts in conjunction with the CS, WR, and RD pins. It is used by the 82C59A to

decipher various Command Words the CPU writes and status the CPU wishes to read. It is typically connected

to the CPU A0 address line (A1 for 80C86/88/286).

A more desirable method would be one that would allow the

microprocessor to be executing its main program and only

stop to service peripheral devices when it is told to do so by

the device itself. In effect, the method would provide an

external asynchronous input that would inform the processor

that it should complete whatever instruction that is currently

being executed and fetch a new routine that will service the

requesting device. Once this servicing is complete, however,

the processor would resume exactly where it left off.

This is the Interrupt-driven method. It is easy to see that

system throughput would drastically increase, and thus,

more tasks could be assumed by the microcomputer to

further enhance its cost effectiveness.

The Programmable Interrupt Controller (PlC) functions as an

overall manager in an Interrupt-Driven system. It accepts

requests from the peripheral equipment, determines which of

the incoming requests is of the highest importance (priority),

ascertains whether the incoming request has a higher

priority value than the level currently being serviced, and

issues an interrupt to the CPU based on this determination.

Each peripheral device or structure usually has a special

program or “routine” that is associated with its specific

functional or operational requirements; this is referred to as a

“service routine”. The PlC, after issuing an interrupt to the

CPU, must somehow input information into the CPU that can

“point” the Program Counter to the service routine

associated with the requesting device. This “pointer” is an

address in a vectoring table and will often be referred to, in

this document, as vectoring data.

82C59A Functional Description

The 82C59A is a device specifically designed for use in real

time, interrupt driven microcomputer systems. It manages

eight levels of requests and has built-in features for

expandability to other 82C59As (up to 64 levels). It is

programmed by system software as an I/O peripheral. A

selection of priority modes is available to the programmer so

that the manner in which the requests are processed by the

82C59A can be configured to match system requirements.

The priority modes can be changed or reconfigured

dynamically at any time during main program operation. This

means that the complete interrupt structure can be defined

as required, based on the total system environment.

Interrupt Request Register (IRR) and In-Service Register

(ISR)

The interrupts at the IR input lines are handled by two registers

in cascade, the Interrupt Request Register (lRR) and the In-

Service Register (lSR). The IRR is used to indicate all the

interrupt levels which are requesting service, and the ISR is

used to store all the interrupt levels which are currently being

serviced.

Priority Resolver

This logic block determines the priorities of the bits set in the

lRR. The highest priority is selected and strobed into the

corresponding bit of the lSR during the INTA sequence.

Interrupt Mask Register (IMR)

The lMR stores the bits which disable the interrupt lines to be

masked. The IMR operates on the output of the IRR.

Masking of a higher priority input will not affect the interrupt

request lines of lower priority.

Interrupt (INT)

This output goes directly to the CPU interrupt input. The

VOH level on this line is designed to be fully compatible with

the 8080, 8085, 8086/88, 80C86/88, 80286, and 80C286

input levels.

Interrupt Acknow ledge (INTA)

INTA pulses will cause the 82C59A to release vectoring

information onto the data bus. The format of this data

depends on the system mode (µPM) of the 82C59A.

Data Bus Buffer

This 3-state, bidirectional 8-bit buffer is used to interface the

82C59A to the System Data Bus. Control words and status

information are transferred through the Data Bus Buffer.

Read/Write Control Logic

The function of this block is to accept output commands from

the CPU. It contains the Initialization Command Word (lCW)

registers and Operation Command Word (OCW) registers

which store the various control formats for device operation.

This function block also allows the status of the 82C59A to

be transferred onto the Data Bus.

Chip Select (CS)

A LOW on this input enables the 82C59A. No reading or

writing of the device will occur unless the device is selected.

Write (WR)

A LOW on this input enables the CPU to write control words

(lCWs and OCWs) to the 82C59A.

Read (RD)

A LOW on this input enables the 82C59A to send the status

of the Interrupt Request Register (lRR), In-Service Register

(lSR), the Interrupt Mask Register (lMR), or the interrupt

level (in the poll mode) onto the Data Bus.

This input signal is used in conjunction with WR and RD

signals to write commands into the various command

registers, as well as to read the various status registers of

the chip. This line can be tied directly to one of the system

address lines.

The Cascade Buffer/Comparator

This function block stores and compares the IDs of all

82C59As used in the system. The associated three I/O pins

(CAS0 - 2) are outputs when the 82C59A is used as a

master and are inputs when the 82C59A is used as a slave.

As a master, the 82C59A sends the ID of the interrupting

slave device onto the CAS0 - 2 lines. The slave, thus

selected will send its preprogrammed subroutine address

onto the Data Bus during the next one or two consecutive

INTA pulses. (See section “Cascading the 82C59A”.)

Interrupt Sequence

The powerful features of the 82C59A in a microcomputer

system are its programmability and the interrupt routine

addressing capability. The latter allows direct or indirect

jumping to the specified interrupt routine requested without

any polling of the interrupting devices. The normal sequence

of events during an interrupt depends on the type of CPU

being used.

82C59A82C59A

7FN2784.5

March 17, 2006

These events occur in an 8080/8085 system:

1. One or more of the INTERRUPT REQUEST lines

(IR0 - IR7) are raised high, setting the corresponding IRR

bit(s).

2. The 82C59A evaluates those requests in the priority

resolver and sends an interrupt (INT) to the CPU, if

appropriate.

3. The CPU acknowledges the lNT and responds with an

INTA pulse.

4. Upon receiving a n lNTA from the CPU group, the highest

priority lSR bit is set, and the corresponding lRR bit is

reset. The 82C59A will also release a CALL instruction

code (11001101) onto the 8-bit data bus through D0 - D7.

5. This CALL instruction will initiate two additional INTA

pulses to be sent to 82C59A from the CPU group.

6. These two INTA pulses allow the 82C59A to release its

preprogrammed subroutine address onto the data bus.

The lower 8-bit address is released at the first INTA pulse

and the higher 8-bit address is released at the second

INTA pulse.

7. This completes the 3-byte CALL instruction released by

the 82C59A. In the AEOI mo de, the lSR bit is reset a t th e

end of the third INTA pulse. Otherwise, the lSR bit

remains set until an appropriate EOI command is issued

at the end of the interrupt sequence.

The events occurring in an 80C86/88/286 system are the

same until step 4.

4. The 82C59A does not drive the data bus during the first

INTA pulse.

5. The 80C86/88/286 CPU wi ll ini tiate a second INTA pulse.

During this INTA pulse, the appropr iate ISR bit is set a nd

the corresponding bit in the IRR is reset. The 82C59A

outputs the 8-bit pointer onto the data bus to be read by

the CPU.

6. This completes the interrupt cycle. In the AEOI mode, the

ISR bit is reset at the end of the second INTA pulse. Oth-

erwise, the ISR bit remains set until an appropriate EOI

command is issued at the end of the interrupt subroutine.

If no interrupt request is present at step 4 of either sequence

(i.e., the request was too short in duration), the 82C59A will

issue an interrupt level 7. If a slave is programmed on IR bit

7, the CAS lines remain inactive and vector addresses are

output from the master 82C59A.

Interrupt Sequence Outputs

8080, 8085 Interrupt Response Mode

This sequence is timed by three INTA pulses. During the first

lNTA pulse, the CALL opcode is enabled onto the data bus.

During the second INTA pulse, the lower address of the

When interval = 4 bits, A5 - A7 are programmed, while

A0 - A4 are automatically inserted by the 82C59A. When

interval = 8, only A6 and A7 are programmed, while A0 - A5

are automatically inserted.

During the third INTA pulse, the higher address of the

appropriate service routine, which was programmed as byte 2

of the initialization sequence (A8 - A15), is enabled onto the

bus.

80C86, 8OC88, 80C286 Interrupt Response Mode

80C86/88/286 mode is similar to 8080/85 mode except that

only two Interrupt Acknowledge cycles are issued by the

processor and no CALL opcode is sent to the processor. The

first interrupt acknowledge cycle is similar to that of 8080/85

systems in that the 82C59A uses it to internally freeze the

state of the interrupts for priority resolution and, as a master,

it issues the interrupt code on the cascade lines. On this first

cycle, it does not issue any data to the processor and leaves

its data bus buffers disabled. On the second interrupt

acknowledge cycle in the 86/88/286 mode, the master (or

slave if so programmed) will send a byte of data to the

processor with the acknowledged interrupt code composed

as follows (note the state of the ADI mode control is ignored

and A5 - A11 are unused in the 86/88/286 mode).

Programming the 82C59A

The 82C59A accepts two types of command words

generated by the CPU:

1. Initialization Command Words (ICWs): Before normal

operation can begin, each 82C59A in the system must be

brought to a starting point - by a sequence of 2 to 4 bytes

timed by WR pulses.

2. Operation Command Words (OCWs): These are the

command words which command the 82C59A to operate

in various interrupt modes. Among these modes are:

a. Fully nested mode.

b. Rotating priority mode.

c. Special mask mode.

d. Polle d mo de.

The OCWs can be written into the 82C59A anytime after

initialization.

Initialization Command Words (lCWs)

General

Whenever a command is issued with A0 = 0 and D4 = 1, this

is interpreted as Initialization Command Word 1 (lCW1).

lCW1 starts the initialization sequence during which the

following automatically occur:

a. The edge sense circuit is reset, which means that follow-

ing initialization, an interrupt request (IR) input must make

a low-to-high transition to generate an interrupt.

b. The Interrupt Mask Register is cleared.

c. lR7 input is assigned priority 7.

d. Special Mask Mode is cleared and Status Read is set to

lRR.

e. If lC4 = 0, then all functions selected in lCW4 are set to

zero. (Non-Buffered mode (see note), no Auto-EOI,

8080/85 system).

NOTE: Master/Slave in ICW4 is only used in the buffered mode.

Initialization Command Words 1 and 2 (ICW1, lCW2)

A5 - A15: Page starting address of service routines. In an

8080/85 system the 8 request levels will generate CALLS to

8 locations equally spaced in memory. These can be

programmed to be spaced at intervals of 4 or 8 memory

locations, thus, the 8 routines will occupy a page of 32 or 64

bytes, respectively.

The address format is 2 bytes long (A0 - A15). When the

routine interval is 4, A0 - A4 are automatically inserted by the

82C59A, while A5 - A15 are programmed externally. When

the routine interval is 8, A0 - A5 are automatically inserted by

the 82C59A while A6 - A15 are programmed externally.

The 8-byte interval will maintain compatibility with current

software, while the 4-byte interval is best for a compact jump

table.

In an 80C86/88/286 system, A15 - A11 are inserted in the

five most significant bits of the vectoring byte and the

82C59A sets the three least significant bits according to the

interrupt level. A10 - A5 are ignored and ADI (Address

interval) has no effect.

LTlM: If LTlM = 1, then the 82C59A will operate in the level

interrupt mode. Edge detect logic on the interrupt

inputs will be disabled.

ADI: ALL address inter val. ADI = 1 then inter val = 4; ADI

= 0 then interval = 8.

SNGL: Single. Means that this is the only 82C59A in the

system. If SNGL = 1, no ICW3 will be issued.

IC4: If this bit is set - lCW4 has to be issued. If lCW4 is

not needed, set lC4 = 0.

Initialization Command W ord 3 (ICW3)

This word is read only when there is more than one 82C59A

in the system and cascading is used, in which case

SNGL = 0. It will load the 8-bit slave register. The functions of

this register are:

a. In the master mode (either when SP = 1, or in buffered

mode when M/S = 1 in lCW4) a “1” is set for each slave in

the bit corresponding to the appropriate IR line for the

slave. The master then will release byte 1 of the call

sequence (for 8080/85 system) and will enable the corre-

sponding slave to release bytes 2 and 3 (for 80C86/88/

286, only byte 2) through the cascade lines.

b. In the slave mode (either when SP = 0, or if BUF = 1 and

M/S = 0 in lCW4), bits 2 - 0 identify the slave. The slave

compares its cascade input with these bits and if they are

Operation Command Words (OCWs)

After the Initialization Command Words (lCWs) are

programmed into the 82C59A, the device is ready to accept

interrupt requests at its input lines. However, during the

82C59A operation, a selection of algorithms can command

the 82C59A to operate in various modes through the

Operation Command Words (OCWs).

Operation Command Word 1 (OCW1)

OCW1 sets and clears the mask bits in the Interrupt Mask

indicates the channel is masked (inhibited), M = 0 indicates

the channel is enabled.

Operation Command Word 2 (OCW2)

R, SL, EOI - These three bits control the Rotate and End of

Interrupt modes and combinations of the two. A chart of

these combinations can be found on the Operation

Command Word Format.

L2, L1, L0 - These bits determine the interrupt level acted

upon when the SL bit is active.

Operation Command Word 3 (OCW3)

ESMM - Enable Special Mask Mode. When this bit is set to 1

it enables the SMM bit to set or reset the Special Mask

Mode. When ESMM = 0, the SMM bit becomes a “don’t

care”.

SMM - Special Mask Mode. If ESMM = 1 and SMM = 1, the

82C59A will enter Special Mask Mode. If ESMM = 1 and

SMM = 0, the 82C59A will revert to normal mask mode.

When ESMM = 0, SMM has no effect.

Fully Nested Mode

This mode is entered after initialization unless another mode

is programmed. The interrupt requests are ordered in priority

from 0 through 7 (0 highest). When an interrupt is

acknowledged the highest priority request is determined and

its vector placed on the bus. Additionally, a bit of the Interrupt

Service register (IS0 - 7) is set. This bit remains set until the

microprocessor issues an End of Interrupt (EOI) command

immediately before returning from the service routine, or if

the AEOI (Automatic End of Interrupt) bit is set, until the

trailing edge of the last INTA. While the IS bit is set, all

further interrupts of the same or lower priority are inhibited,

while higher levels will generate an interrupt (which will be

acknowledged only if the microprocessor internal interrupt

enable flip-flop has been re-enabled through software).

After the initialization sequence, IR0 has the highest priority

and IR7 the lowest. Priorities can be changed, as will be

explained in the rotating priority mode or via the set priority

command.

End of Interrupt (EOI)

The In-Service (IS) bit can be reset either automatically

following the trailing edge of the last in sequence INTA pulse

(when AEOI bit in lCW1 is set) or by a command word that

must be issued to the 82C59A before returning from a

service routine (EOI Command). An EOI command must be

issued twice if servicing a slave in the Cascade mode, once

for the master and once for the corresponding slave.

There are two forms of EOl command: Specific and Non-

Specific. When the 82C59A is operated in modes which

preserve the fully nested structure, it can determine which IS

bit to reset on EOI. When a Non-Specific command is issued

the 82C59A will automatically reset the highest IS bit of

those that are set, since in the fully nested mode the highest

IS level was necessarily the last level acknowledged and

serviced. A non-specific EOI can be issued with OCW2

(EOl = 1, SL = 0, R = 0).

When a mode is used which may disturb the fully nested

structure, the 82C59A may no longer be able to determine

the last level acknowledged. In this case a Specific End of

Interrupt must be issued which includes as part of the

command the IS level to be reset. A specific EOl can be

issued with OCW2 (EOI = 1, SL = 1, R = 0, and L0 - L2 is the

binary level of the IS bit to be reset).

An lRR bit that is masked by an lMR bit will not be cleared by

a non-specific EOI if the 82C59A is in the Special Mask

Mode.

Automatic End of Interrupt (AEOI) Mode

If AEOI = 1 in lCW4, then the 82C59A will operate in AEOl

mode continuously until reprogrammed by lCW4. In this

mode the 82C59A will automatically perform a non-specific

EOI operation at the trailing edge of the last interrupt

acknowledge pulse (third pulse in 8080/85, second in

80C86/88/286). Note that from a system standpoint, this

mode should be used only when a nested multilevel interrupt

structure is not required within a single 82C59A.

Automatic Rotation (Equal Priority Devices)

In some applications there are a number of interrupting

devices of equal priority. In this mode a device, after being

serviced, receives the lowest priority, so a device requesting

an interrupt will have to wait, in the worst case until each of 7

other devices are serviced at most once. For example, if the

priority and “in service” status is:

Before Rotate (lR4 the highest priority requiring service)

After Rotate (lR4 was serviced, all other priorities rotated

correspondingly)

There are two ways to accomplish Automatic Rotation using

OCW2, the Rotation on Non-Specific EOI Command (R = 1,

SL = 0, EOI = 1) and the Rotate in Automatic EOI Mode

which is set by (R = 1, SL = 0, EOI = 0) and cleared by

(R = 0, SL = 0, EOl = 0).

Specific Rotation (Specific Priority)

The programmer can change priorities by programming the

lowest priority and thus, fixing all other priorities; i.e., if IR5 is

programmed as the lowest priority device, then IR6 will have

the highest one.

The Set Priority command is issued in OCW2 where: R = 1,

SL = 1, L0 - L2 is the binary priority level code of the lowest

priority device.

Observe that in this mode internal status is updated by soft-

ware control during OCW2. However, it is independent of the

End of Interrupt (EOI) command (also executed by OCW2).

Priority changes can be executed during an EOI command

by using the Rotate on Specific EOl command in OCW2

(R = 1, SL = 1, EOI = 1, and L0 - L2 = IR level to receive

lowest priority).

Interrupt Masks

Each Interrupt Request input can be masked individually by

the Interrupt Mask Register (IMR) programmed through

OCW1. Each bit in the lMR masks one interrupt channel if it

is set (1). Bit 0 masks IR0, Bit 1 masks IR1 and so forth.

Masking an IR channel does not affect the operation of other

channels.

Special Mask Mode

Some applications may require an interrupt service routine

to dynamically alter the system priority structure during its

execution under software control. For example, the routine

may wish to inhibit lower priority requests for a portion of its

execution but enable some of them for another portion.

82C59A

14 FN2784.5

March 17, 2006

The difficulty here is that if an Interrupt Request is

acknowledged and an End of Interrupt command did not

reset its IS bit (i.e., while executing a service routine), the

82C59A would have inhibited all lower priority requests with

no easy way for the routine to enable them.

That is where the Special Mask Mode comes in. In the

Special Mask Mode, when a mask bit is set in OCW1, it

inhibits further interrupts at that level and enables interrupts

from all other levels (lower as well as higher) that are not

masked.

Thus, any interrupts may be selectively enabled by loading

the mask register.

The Special Mask Mode is set by OCW3 where: ESMM = 1,

SMM = 1, and cleared where ESMM = 1, SMM = 0.

Poll Command

In this mode, the INT output is not used or the

microprocessor internal Interrupt Enable flip flop is reset,

disabling its interrupt input. Service to devices is achieved by

software using a Poll command.

The Poll command is issued by setting P = 1 in OCW3. The

82C59A treats the next RD pulse to the 82C59A (i.e., RD =

0, CS = 0) as an interrupt acknowledge, sets the appropriate

IS bit if there is a request, and reads the priority level.

Interrupt is frozen from WR to RD.

The word enabled onto the data bus during RD is:

W0 - W2: Binary code of the highest priority level request-

ing service.

I: Equal to a “1” if there is an interrupt.

This mode is useful if there is a routine command common to

several levels so that the INTA sequence is not needed

(saves ROM space). Another application is to use the poll

mode to expand the number of priority levels to more than 64.

Reading the 82C59A Status

The input status of several internal registers can be read to

update the user information on the system. The following

registers can be read via OCW3 (lRR and ISR) or OCW1

(lMR).

Interrupt Request Register (IRR): 8-bit register which

contains the levels requesting an interrupt to be

acknowledged. The highest request level is reset from the

lRR when an interrupt is acknowledged. lRR is not affected

by lMR.

In-Service Register (ISR): 8-bit register which contains the

priority levels that are being serviced. The ISR is updated

when an End of Interrupt Command is issued.

Interrupt Mask Register: 8-bit register which contains the

interrupt request lines which are masked.

The lRR can be read when, prior to the RD pulse, a Read

The ISR can be read when, prior to the RD pulse, a Read

There is no need to write an OCW3 before every status read

operation, as long as the status read corresponds with the

previous one: i.e., the 82C59A “remembers” whether the lRR

or ISR has been previously selected by the OCW3. This is

not true when poll is used. In the poll mode, the 82C59A

treats the RD following a “poll write” operation as an INTA.

After initialization, the 82C59A is set to lRR.

For reading the lMR, no OCW3 is needed. The output data bus

will contain the lMR whenever RD is active and A0 = 1 (OCW1).

Polling overrides status read when P = 1, RR = 1 in OCW3.

Edge and Level Triggered Modes

This mode is programmed using bit 3 in lCW1.

If LTlM = “0”, an interrupt request will be recognized by a low to

high transition on an IR input. The IR input can remain high

without generating another interrupt.

If LTIM = “1”, an interrupt request will be recognized by a “high”

level on an IR input, and there is no need for an edge detection.

The interrupt request must be removed before the EOI

command is issued or the CPU interrupt is enabled to prevent a

second interrupt from occurring.

The priority cell diagram shows a conceptual circuit of the level

sensitive and edge sensitive input circuitry of the 82C59A. Be

sure to note that the request latch is a transparent D type latch.

In both the edge and level triggered modes the IR inputs

must remain high until after the falling edge of the first INTA.

If the IR input goes low before this time a DEFAULT lR7 will

occur when the CPU acknowledges the interrupt. This can

be a useful safeguard for detecting interrupts caused by

spurious noise glitches on the IR inputs. To implement this

feature the lR7 routine is used for “clean up” simply

executing a return instruction, thus, ignoring the interrupt. If

lR7 is needed for other purposes a default lR7 can still be

detected by reading the ISR. A normal lR7 interrupt will set

the corresponding ISR bit, a default IR7 won’t. If a default

IR7 routine occurs during a normal lR7 routine, however, the

ISR will remain set. In this case it is necessary to keep track

of whether or not the IR7 routine was previously entered. If

another lR7 occurs it is a default.

In power sensitive applications, it is advisable to place the

82C59A in the edge-triggered mode with the IR lines

normally high. This will minimize the current through the

internal pull-up resistors on the IR pins.

The Special Fully Nested Mode

This mode will be used in the case of a big system where

cascading is used, and the priority has to be conserved

within each slave. In this case the special fully nested mode

will be programmed to the master (using lCW4). This mode

is similar to the normal nested mode with the following

exceptions:

a. When an interrupt request from a cer tain slave is in ser-

vice, this slave is not locked out from the master’s pr ior ity

logic and further interrupt requests from higher priority

IRs within the slave will be recognized by the master and

will initiate interrupts to the processor. (In the normal

nested mode a slave is masked out when its request is in

service and no higher requests from the same slave can

be serviced.

b. When exiting the Interrupt Service routine the software

has to check whether the interru pt serviced was the only

one from that slave. This is done by sending a non-spe-

cific End of Interrupt (EOI) command to the slave and

then reading its In-Service register and checking for zero.

If it is empty, a non-specified EOI can be sent to the mas-

ter, too. If not, no EOI should be sent.

Buffered Mode

When the 82C59A is used in a large system where bus

driving buffers are required on the data bus and the

cascading mode is used, there exists the problem of

enabling buffers

The buffered mode will structure the 82C59A to send an

enable signal on SP/EN to enable the buffers. In this mode,

whenever the 82C59A’s data bus outputs are enabled, the

SP/EN output becomes active.

This modification forces the use of software programming to

determine whether the 82C59A is a master or a slave. Bit 3

in ICW4 programs the buffered mode, and bit 2 in lCW4

determines whether it is a master or a slave.

Cascade Mode

The 82C59A can be easily interconnected in a system of one

master with up to eight slaves to handle up to 64 priority

levels.

The master controls the slaves through the 3 line cascade

bus (CAS2 - 0). The cascade bus acts like chip selects to the

slaves during the INTA sequence.

In a cascade configuration, the slave interrupt outputs (INT)

are connected to the master interrupt request inputs. When a

slave request line is activated and afterwards acknowledged,

the master will enable the corresponding slave to release the

device routine address during bytes 2 and 3 of INTA. (Byte 2

only for 80C86/88/286).

The cascade bus lines are normally low and will contain the

slave address code from the leading edge of the first INTA

pulse to the trailing edge of the last INTA pulse. Each

82C59A in the system must follow a separate initialization

sequence and can be programmed to work in a different

mode. An EOI command must be issued twice: once for the

master and once for the corresponding slave. Chip select

decoding is required to activate each 82C59A.

NOTE: Auto EOI is supported in the slave mode for the 82C59A.

The cascade lines of the Master 82C59A are activated only

for slave inputs, non-slave inputs leave the cascade line

inactive (low). Therefore, it is necessary to use a slave

address of 0 (zero) only after all other addresses are used.

NOTE:

1. Worst case timing for TCHCL in an actual microprocessor system is typically greater than the values specified for the 82C59A,

(i.e. 8085A = 1.6µs, 8085A -2 = 1µs, 80C86 = 1µs, 80C286 -10 = 131ns, 80C286 -12 = 98ns).
