Abstract
A controller for controlling a microprocessor-based system incorporates two cooperatively operating state machine controllers and is capable of interfacing with bus and memory subsystems while maintaining synchronous handshake with more than one type of microprocessor on a bus which may operate at a different speed than the system memory subsystems and peripheral devices. The controller provides functional and timing parameters to satisfy requirements for an asynchronous bus and for more than one type of device which reside on the bus.
