Abstract
Peripheral devices of a microprocessor controlled system initiate service request signals which are sent to a system controller over a single dedicated request line. Such request signals are accepted by the system controller on a priority basis, with only one service request signal being honored at any given time. Once honored, the system controller addresses the peripheral device and accepts a vector request word therefrom. The vector request word is then used by the system controller to generate an index signal to select a microaddress of the microroutine to be used to service a peripheral device's request.
