The Intel® aOaOA
is
a
complete
a-bit parallel central processing
unit
(CPU). It
is
fabricated
on
a single
LSI
chip using Intel's
n-channel silicon gate
MOS
process. This offers
the
user a high performance solution
to
control
and
processing appli"cations.
The
aOaOA contains six
a-bit
general purpose working registers and an accumulator.
The
six general purpose registers may be
addressed individually
or
in pairs providing
both
single and double precision operators.
Arithmetic
and logical instructions set
or
reset
four
testable flags. A fifth flag provides decimal arithmetic operation.
The
aOaOA has an external stack feature wherein any portion
of
memory may be used as a last
in/first
out
stack
to
store/
retrieve
the
contents
of
the
accumulator, flags, program
counter
and
all
of
the
six general purpose registers.
The
sixteen
bit
stack
pointer
controls
the
addressing
of
this external stack. This stack gives
the
aOaOA
the
ability
to
easily handle multiple
level priority interrupts by rapidly storing and restoring processor status. It also provides
almost
unlimited
subroutine
nesting.
This microprocessor has been designed
to
simplify systems design. Separate 16-line address and a-line bi-directional
data
busses are used
to
facilitate easy interface
to
memory and I/O. Signals
to
control
the
interface
to
memory
and I/O are pro-
vided directly
by
the
aOaOA. Ultimate
control
of
the
address and
data
busses resides
with
the
HOLD signal. It provides
the
ability
to
suspend processor operation and force
the
address and
data
busses into a high impedance state. This permits OR-
tying these busses
with
other
controlling devices
for
(DMA) direct memory access
or
mUlti-processor
operation.
