The DP8224 is a clock generator/driver contained in a standard, 16-pin dual-in-line package. The chip, which is fabricated using Schottky Bipolar technology, generates clocks
and timing for the 8080A microcomputer family.
Included in the DP8224 is an oscillator circuit that is controlled by an external crystal, which is selected by the designer to meet a variety of system speed requirements. Also
included in the chip are circuits that provide: a status strobe
for the DP8228 or DP8238 system controllers, power-on reset for the 8080A microprocessor, and synchronization of
the READY input to the 8080A.

Functional Pin Definitions
The following describes the function of all of the DP8224
input/output pins. Some of these descriptions reference internal circuits.
INPUT SIGNALS
Crystal Connections (XTAL 1 and XTAL 2): Two inputs
that connect an external crystal to the oscillator circuit of
the DP8224. Normally, a fundamental mode crystal is used
to determine the basic operating frequency of the oscillator.
However, overtone mode crystals may also be used. The
crystal frequency is 9 times the desired microprocessor
speed (that is, crystal frequency equals 1/t
the crystal frequency is above 10 MHz, a selected capacitor
(3 to 10 pF) may have to be connected in series with the
crystal to produce the exact desired frequency.
Tank: Allows the use of overtone mode crystals with the
oscillator circuit. When an overtone mode crystal is used,
the tank input connects to a parallel LC network that is ac
coupled to ground. The formula for determining the resonant frequency of this LC network is as follows:
1
e
F
2q0LC
Synchronizing (SYNC) Signal: When high, indicates the
beginning of a new machine cycle. The 8080A microprocessor outputs a status word (which describes the current machine cycle) onto its data bus during the first state (SYNC
interval) of each machine cycle.
Reset In (RESIN
): Provides an automatic system reset and
start-up upon application of power as follows. The RESIN
input, which is obtained from the junction of an external RC
network that is connected between V
ed to an internal Schmitt Trigger circuit. This circuit converts
CC
the slow transition of the power supply rise into a sharp,
clean edge when its input reaches a predetermined value.
When this occurs, an internal D-type flip-flop is synchronously reset, thereby providing the RESET output signal discussed below.

and ground, is rout-
For manual system reset, a momentary contact switch that
provides a low (ground) when closed is also connected to
the RESIN
input.
Ready In (RDYIN): An asynchronous READY signal that is
re-clocked by a D-type flip-flop of the DP8224 to provide the
synchronous READY output discussed below.

a
12 Volts: VDDsupply.
Ground: 0 volt reference.
OUTPUT SIGNALS
Oscillator (OSC): A buffered oscillator signal that can be
used for external timing purposes.
w
and w2Clocks: Two non-TTL compatible clock phases
1
that provide nonoverlapping timing references for internal
storage elements and logic circuits of the 8080A microprocessor. The two clock phases are produced by an internal
clock generator that consists of a divide-by-nine counter
and the associated decode gating logic.

external timing purposes.

signal is generated by gat-

signal is used to clock status information into the status latch
of the DP8228 system controller and bus driver.
Reset: When the RESET signal is activated, the content of
the program counter of the 8080A is cleared. After
RESET, the program will start at location 0 in memory.
Ready: The READY signal indicates to the 8080A that valid
memory or input data is available. This signal is used to
synchronize the 8080A with slower memory or input/output
devices.
