IA2910A
Microprogram Controller
Data Sheet
August 19, 2008
The register/counter is operated during three microinstructions (8, 9, and 15) as a 12-bit down
counter, with result = zero available as a microinstruction branch test criterion. This provides
efficient iteration of microinstructions. The register/counter is arranged such that if it is preloaded
with a number N and then used as a loop termination counter, the sequence will be executed exactly
N + 1 times. During instruction 15, a three-way branch under combined control of the loop
counter and the condition code is available.
The device provides three-state YOUT outputs. These can be particularly useful in designs
requiring automatic checkout of the processor. The microprogram controller outputs can be forced
into the high-impedance state, and pre-programmed sequences of microinstructions can be executed
via external access to the address lines.
