Coa PPT 8086 Pin Diag
TEST - It is used to test the status of math coprocessors of 8087. The BUSY pin of 8087 is connected with this pin.
If the signal is high the processor goes in the waiting state.
CLK - It provides the basic timing for processor operation. There are various frequencies like 5Hz, 8Hz, and 10Hz.
VCC AND VSS: VCC is the power supply signal and VSS is the ground signal.
MN/MX - The 8086 microprocessor works in two modes- minimum and maximum mode. If this pin is high the
processor works in minimum mode and if it is low then it will work in maximum mode.
INTA- It is an interrupt acknowledgement signal. When the processor receives an interrupt signal it acknowledges
the interrupt by generating this signal. It is an active low signal.
ALE - It is an address latch enable signal. It indicates that the valid address is available on the
bus. It is an active high signal.
DEN - It is a data enable signal. This signal is used to enable the 8286 transceivers. The
transceiver is used to separate the data from the address/data bus. It is an active low signal.
DT/R - This is a data transmit/receive signal. This signal decides in which direction data flows
through the receiver. When the signal is high the data is transmitted out and when it is low the
data is received in.
M/IO` - This signal is issued by the microprocessor to distinguish memory access from the i/o
access. When the signal is high the memory is accessed and when it is low the i/o devices are
accessed.
WR - It is a write signal. It is used to write data in memory or output devices. It is an active low
signal.
HLDA - It is a hold acknowledgement signal. It is issued after receiving the hold signal. It is an
active high signal.
