BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE 8288

SYSTEM CLOCK Clock (CLK) : input signal which synchronize the internal and external operations of the microprocessor.

CLOCK GENERATOR IC The clock source is generated by 8284 ( clock generator and Driver IC
) CLK ( 8) of 8284 is connected to pin 19 8088/8086

8284 also supplies it with 2 of it's control lines RESET and READY. The RESET signal does resets the 8088. This line can also be used by other peripherals on the computer so that they reset when the 8088 resets.
READY used to slow down the 8088 ; Dfrom IO circuit thru RD1 and RD2 A crystal oscillator is connected between X1 and X2 which provides a FUNDAMENTAL CRYSTAL FREQUENCY. ( FCF) 33% duty cycle the FCF is divided by 3 internally by 8244 to provide the necessary CLK output pin pclk provide 50% of duty cycle to drive periperal devices

BUS CYCLE AND TIME STATES

A bus cycle defines the basic operation that a microprocessor performs to communicate with external devices. Examples of bus cycle are memory read, memory write, input/output read and input/output write. A bus cycle corresponds to a sequence of events that starts with an address being output on the system bus followed by a read or write data transfer. During these operations, a series of control signal are also produced by the MPU to control the direction and timing of the bus. Each bus cycle consists of at least four clock periods, T1, T2, T3 and T4. These clock period are also called T-state. These 4 clock states gives a bus cycle duration of ( 125 ns * 4 ) = 500 ns in a 8Mhz 8088 Idle State: no bus activity ; one clock period Wait state : controlled by READY signal ; inserted between T3 and T4 when READY = 0 . Bus cycle will complete when READY = 1

Timer States

T1 Address placed on bus ALE active T2 Change direction of Data bus for READ instructions T3-4 Data transfer occurs

Bus Cycle and Time States

T1 - start of bus cycle. Actions include setting control signals to give the

required values for ALE, DTR, IO/M putting a valid address onto the address bus.
T2 - the RD or WR control signals are issued, DEN is asserted and in the

case of a write, data is put onto the data bus. The DEN turns on the data bus buffers to connect the CPU to the external data bus. The READY input to the CPU is sampled at the end of T2 and if READY is low, a wait state TW (one or more) is inserted before T3 begins.
T3 - this clock period is provided to allow memory to access the data. If

the bus cycle is a read cycle, the data bus is sampled at the end of T3.
T4 - all bus signals are deactivated in preparation for the next

clock cycle. The 8088 also finishes sampling the data (in a read cycle) in this period. For the write cycle, the trailing edge of the WR signal transfers data to the memory or I/O, which activates and write when WR returns to logic 1 level.

T-State: One clock period is referred to as a T-State T-State An operation takes an integer number of T-States CPU Bus Cycle: A bus cycle consists of 4 or more T-States

Wait and Idle States

Idle State No bus activity required

Each is 1 clock period long

Occurs when instruction queue is full or the MPU does not need to read/write to memory Wait State Triggered by events external to MPU

Buffer full will trigger a wait state

Triggered by READY pin Inserted between T3 and T4

What is the duration of the bus cycle in the 8088 based microcomputer if the clock is 8MHz and two wait states are inserted

The duration of the bus cycle is in an 8MHz system is given in general by Tcyc = 500 ns + N x 125ns Tcyc = 500 ns +2 x 125ns = 750 ns

What is the duration of the bus cycle in the 8086 based microcomputer if the clock is 5MHz a)No wait state ? b)with three wait states are inserted.
