BUS INTERFACE UNIT
Figure 3-24 shows a typical 82C59A interface example. Bus ready must be provided to terminate
both bus cycles in the interrupt acknowledge sequence.
NOTE
Due to an internal condition, external ready is ignored if the device is
configured in Cascade mode and the Peripheral Control Block (PCB) is
located at 0000H in I/O space. In this case, wait states cannot be added to
interrupt acknowledge bus cycles. However, you can add wait states to
interrupt acknowledge cycles if the PCB is located at any other address.
3.5.3.1 System Design Considerations
Although ALE is generated for both bus cycles, the BIU does not drive valid address information.
Actually, all address bits except A19:16 float during the time ALE becomes active (on both 8-
and 16-bit bus devices). Address-decoding circuitry must be disabled for Interrupt Acknowledge
bus cycles to prevent erroneous operation.
