The 68000 and Am8530H with Interrupts

The following description addresses the problems of interfacing the 68000 and Am8530H

with interrupts. The circuit configuration is basically the same as the design without inter-

rupts.

The 74LS148 and the two 74LS138s assume there are other interrupting devices which

are not compatible with the interrupt daisy chain of the Am8530H. The 74LS148 and one

of the 74LS138 can be eliminated if this is not the case.

The first 74LS138 acts as a status decoder; it is gated with AS to de-glitch the outputs.

The second 74LS138 decodes the Interrupt Acknowledge priority level, allowing a two-

dimensional priority scheme. Daisy chain can be used to resolve priority at any given pri-

ority level while the CPU resolves priority between levels.

The 74LS164 is added to generate the correct timing during an Interrupt Acknowledge

cycle. It allows 5 CPU clocks for the daisy chain to settle before it generates

RD to put the

vector onto the bus. The daisy chain is implemented by using the IEI, IEO pins (not

shown in Figure 7–12) on the 8500 peripherals. The time allowed for the daisy chain to

settle is a function of the number of devices in the chain; thus the allowance of 5 clocks

used here is arbitrary. The 74LS164 also generates

DTACK. A block diagram of this inter-

face is shown in Figure 7–15. Timing diagram is followed in Figure 7–13. It is more

straightforward to use the Am9519A Interrupt Controller instead of the on-chip interrupt

features. However, this approach does not allow the programmer to take advantage of

some of the Am8530H time-saving features.
