Pin Functions
Out of 40 pins, 32 pins are having same function in minimum or maximum mode,
And remaining 8 pins are having different functions in minimum and maximum mode.
Following are the pins which are having same functions
Symbol: AD15 - AD0, Pin No. 39, 2-16 Type: I/O ADDRESS DATA BUS: time multiplexed
memory/IO address (T1), and data (T2, T3, TW, T4) bus.
These lines are active HIGH and float to 3-state OFF during interrupt acknowledge and local bus ``hold acknowledge''.
Symbol: A19/S6, A18/S5, A17/S4, A16/S3Pin No: 35 - 38 Type: O Address/ Status lines During T1: Address and then during T2, T3, Tw, T4 Status S5: IF flag condition and S6: LOW

Symbol: RD#Pin No.: 32Type: O Read: RD# is active LOW during read cycle
in T2, T3 and Tw clocks and indicates that processor is performing memory or I/O read
Symbol: READYPin No.: 22Type: I Ready signal is received from memory or I/O
devices to indicate the completion of data transfer
Synchronized by 8284 clock generator
Symbol: INTRPin No.: 18Type: I Interrupt Request: Level triggered input
received from interrupting device Sampled during last clock of each instruction
cycle A subroutine is vectored through IVT if
interrupt enable flag (IF) is SET
Symbol: TEST#Pin No.: 23Type: I
Test: Input is examined by the ‘wait’ instruction, if TEST# is LOW processor will continue execution otherwise wait in an idle state.
Symbol: NMIPin No.: 17Type: I Non Maskable Interrupt: Edge triggered input
causes a TYPE 2 interrupt. Not maskable internally by software.
Symbol: RESETPin No.: 21Type: I Reset: Input causes the processor to
immediately terminate its present activity Must be HIGH for at least 4 clock cycles
Symbol: CLKPin No.: 19Type: I Clock: provides the basic timing for the
processor and bus controller. It is asymmetric with a 33% duty cycle to
provide optimized internal timing.
Symbol: VccPin No.: 40
Vcc: +5V power supply pin.
Symbol: GNDPin No.: 1, 20
GROUND
Symbol: MN/MX#Pin No.: 33Type: I MINIMUM/MAXIMUM: indicates what mode
the processor is to operate in. HIGH indicates minimum mode (Single
processor system) LOW indicates maximum mode (Multi-
processor system)
Pins having different functions in maximum mode Pin number 24 to 31 is having different
functions in maximum mode which is explained below
Symbol: S2#, S1#, S0# Pin No.: 26-28Type: O
Status: active during T4, T1, and T2 and is returned to the passive state (1, 1, 1) during T3 or during TW when READY is HIGH
Used by the 8288 Bus Controller to generate all memory and I/O access control signals
S2 S1 S0 Characteristics
0 0 0 Interrupt Acknowledge
0 0 1 Read I/O Port
0 1 0 Write I/O Port
0 1 1 Halt
1 0 0 Code Access
1 0 1 Read Memory
1 1 0 Write Memory
1 1 1 Passive
Symbol: RQ#/GT0#, RQ#/GT1#Pin No.: 30, 31Type: I/O
Request/Grant: Pins are used by other local bus masters to force the processor to release the local bus at the end of the processor's current bus cycle.
RQ/GT0# is having higher priority than RQ/GT1#
Symbol: LOCK# Pin No.: 29Type: O
LOCK: output indicates that other system bus masters are not to gain control of the system bus while LOCK is active LOW.
Activated by the ``LOCK'' prefix instruction and remains active until the completion of the next instruction.
Symbol: QS1, QS0 Pin No.: 24, 25Type: O Queue Status: The queue status is valid
during the CLK cycle after which the queue operation is performed.
QS1 QS0 Characteristics
0 0 No Operation
0 1 First Byte of Op Code from Queue
1 0 Empty the Queue
1 1 Subsequent Byte from Queue
Pins having different functions in minimum mode Pin number 24 to 31 is having different
functions in minimum mode which is explained below
Symbol: M/IO#Pin No.: 28Type: O
Status Line: used to distinguish a memory access from an I/O access
HIGH for memory operation and LOW for I/O operations
Symbol: WR#Pin No.: 29Type: O
Write: indicates that the processor is performing a write memory or write I/O cycle
Symbol: INTA#Pin No.: 24Type: O
Interrupt Acknowledgement: used as a read strobe for interrupt acknowledge cycles
Active LOW during T2, T3 and TW of each interrupt acknowledge cycle.
Symbol: ALEPin No.: 25Type: O
Address Latch Enable: It is a HIGH pulse active during T1 of any bus cycle
Provided by the processor to latch the address into the 8282/8283 address latch.
Symbol: DT/R#Pin No.: 27Type: O
Data Transmit/Receive: used to control the direction of data flow through the transceiver
Symbol: DEN#Pin No.: 26Type: O
Data Enable: provided as an output enable for the 8286/8287 in a minimum system which uses the transceiver
Symbol: HOLD, HLDAPin No.: 31, 30Type: I, O
Hold: indicates that another master is requesting a local bus ``hold.'‘
The processor receiving the ``hold'' request will issue HLDA (HIGH) as an acknowledgement
