Z80X30 Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle
The Z80X30 samples the state of /INTACK on the rising edge of /AS, and AC parameters #7 and
#8 specify the setup and hold-time requirements. Between the rising edge of /AS and the falling
edge of /DS, the internal and external daisy chains settle (AC parameter #29). A system with no
external daisy chain should provide the time specified in spec #29 to settle the interrupt daisy-
chain priority internal to the SCC. Systems using an external daisy chain should refer to Note 5
referenced in the Z80X30 Read/Write & Interrupt Acknowledge Timing for the time required to
settle the daisy chain.
/INTACK is sampled on the rising edge of /AS. If it does not meet the setup time to the
first rising edge of /AS of the interrupt acknowledge cycle, it is latched on the next ris-
ing edge of /AS. Therefore, if /INTACK is asynchronous to /AS, it may be necessary to
add a PCLK cycle to the calculation for /INTACK to /RD delay time.
