•READY: READY is an output pin that connects to the
8086/8088 READY input.
•This signal is synchronized with the RDY1 and RDY2
Inputs.
•CLK:ProvidesCLKinputsignaltothe8086/8088

system.
•GND: Connects to ground.
•Vcc: Connects to +5.0V with a tolerance of +10
percent.

Operation of Clock Section
•F/C’ = 0 : internal crystal oscillator
•crystal is attached X1, X2, oscillator generate square-
wave signal at the same frequency as crystal
•square-wave signal : fed to AND gate, inverter(OSC)
•OSC output : sometimes used as EFI to other 8284A
•AND gate : select oscillator or EFI
•F/C’=0 : oscillator output → divide-by-3 counter
•F/C’=1 : EFI → divide-by-3 counter
•output of divide-by-3 counter
•timing for ready synchronization
•signal for another divide-by-2 counter : PCLK
•CLK signal : buffered before CLK output pin

Operation of the Reset Section
•Fig. 9-4 : crystal oscillator(F/C’=CSYNC=0)
•15MHz crystal : 5MHz clock signal, 2.5MHz
PCLK
•Reset : a Schmitt trigger buffer, a D-type FF
•D FF : ensured timing requirements of 8086
RESET
•applied RESET signal to µ on negative edge of each
clock
•8086 µ : sampled RESET at positive edge of clocks
•1. power on reset, 2. reset button
•µ RESET :
•to become logic 1 no later than 4 clocks after power
is applied, (FF make certain that RESET goes high
in4 clock) and to be held high for at least 50 ㎲(RC
time constant)
