Clock:
ClK
is the clock
output
used by the processor and all devices which
directly
connect
to the processor's local bus
(i.e., the
bipolar
support chips and other MOS
devices).
ClK
has an
output
frequency which
is

Output:
OSC is the

put
of
the
internal oscillator circuitry. Its fr&-

is
equal

the crystal.
RES
I
Reaet
In:
RES
is an active
lOW
signal which
is
used
to
generate
RESET. The 8284A
provides a Schmin
trigger
input
so that
an
RC
connection
can
be
used
to
establislol the
power-up reset
of
proper
duration.
RESET
0 Reaet: RESET
is
an active HIGH signal which
is used
to
reset the 8086 family processors. Its
timing
characteristics
are determined by
RES.
CSYNC I
Clock
SynchronIzation:
CSYNC is
an
'active
HIGH
signal which allows multiple 8284As to
be
synchronized to provide clocks that are in
phase. When CSYNC is HIGH the internal
counters are reset. When CSYNC goes
lOW
the internal counters are allowed to resume
counting. CSYNC needs to
be
externally syn-
chronized
to
Eft.
When using the internal os-
cillator
CSYNC
should
be
hardwired
to
ground.

Cryatalln:
Xl

are the pins to which a
crystal is anached. The crystal frequency
is
3
times the desired processor clock frequency.
Frequency/Crya'a' Select:

ated from the
EFI
input.
Ready Synchronization
Select:
ASYNC
is
an
input
which
defines
the
synchronization
mode
of
the READY logic. When ASYNC
is
low,
two
stages
of
READY synchronization
are
provided.
When ASYNC is
left
open
(internal pull-up resistor

provided) or
HIGH
a single stage of READY synchronization
is
provided.

AEN
serves to qualify its respective
Bus Ready Signal (RDYl

validates RDYl while AEN2 validates
RDY2.
Two
AEN

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General
The
8284A
is
a
single
Chip
clock
generator/driver
for
the
iAPX
86,
88
processors.
The
chip
contains
a
crystal-
controlled
oscillator,
a
divide-by-three
counter,
com-
plete
MUlTIBUSTM
"Ready"
synchronization
and
reset
logic.

Configuration.
Oscillator
The
oscillator
circuit
of
the
8284A
is
designed
primarily
for
use
with
an
external
series
resonant,
fundamental
mode,
crystal
from
which
the
basic
operating
frequency
is
derived.
The
crystal
frequency
should
be
selected
at
three
times
the
required
CPU
clock.
Xl
and
X2
are
the
two
crystal
input
crystal
connections.
For
the
most
stable
operation
of
the
oscillator
(OSC)
output
circuit,
two
series
resistors
(R,
= R
2
=
510
fl)
as
shown
in
the
waveform figures
are
recommended.
The
output
of
the
oscillator
is
buffered
and
brought
out
on
OSC
so
that
other
system
timing
signals
can
be
derived
from
this
stable,
crystal-controlled
source.
For
systems
which
have

have

capacitance

Xl
or
X2, ex-
ceeding
10
pF
(not
including
8284A
pin
capacitance).
the
two
S10n
resistors
should
be
used.
This
circuit
provides
optimum
stability
for
the
oscillator
in
such
extreme
condi-
tions.
It
is
advisable
to
limit
stray
capacitances
to
les$
than
10 pF
on
Xl
and
X2
to
minimize
