Sharp MZ-800 - 8253 Programmable Interval Timer; Printer Interface

MZ-800
4-4. 8253 Programmable Interval Timer
The 8253 makes sound generated with the counter #0
and internal timer is operated with the counters #1 and
#2.
• Counter mode
#0 ..... Square waveform generator MODE3
#1 ..... Rate generator MODE2
#2 ..... Interrupt on terminal counter

• The counter #0 counts input pulse of 1.1 MHz,
divided by the predetermined rate (musical score
data)
to generate sound. It is connected with the
mixing audio amplifier through AUDIO-IN of the
sound IC (76489AN).
This
counter output is gated by PC of the 8255 port C,
and the counter gate is controlled by 001 of $E008.
The counter #0 output is also used for interrupt
control INTO and connected to A4 of the Z-80A PlO
port A.
• The counter #1 counts pulse of 15.6 kHz and gener-
ated a
pulse on OUT1 at every second. The counter
#2 counts pulses and makes OUT2 turned high.
OUT2 outputs becomes INT via the gate and is
connected
to INT of the CPU.
4-5. Printer interface
The Z-80A PlO is used for the printer interface. It has a
pair
of 8-bit 1/0 ports.
