System Controller and Bus Driver
General Description
The DP8228 DP8228M DP8238 DP8238M are system
controller bus drivers contained in a standard 28-pin dual-
in-line package The chip which is fabricated using Schottky
Bipolar technology generates all the read and write control
signals required to directly interface the memory and input
output components of the 8080A microcomputer family The
chip also provides drive and isolation for the bidirectional
data bus of the 8080A microprocessor Data bus isolation
enables the use of slower memory and input output compo-
nents in a system and provides for enhanced system noise
immunity
A user-selected signal-level interrupt vector (RST 7) is pro-
vided by the device for use in the interrupt structure of small
systems that need only one basic vector No additional
components (such as an interrupt instruction port) are re-
quired to use the single interrupt vector in these systems
The devices also generate an Interrupt Acknowledge (INTA)
control signal for each byte of a multibyte CALL instruction
when an interrupt is acknowledged by the 8080A This fea-
ture permits the use of a multilevel priority interrupt structure
in large interrupt-driven systems
