Name Description
-MASTER [Input] The MASTER is the signal from the I/O processor which
gains control as the master and should be held low for a
maximum of 15 microseconds or system memory may be
lost due to the lack of refresh
-MEMCS16
[Input, Open collector]
The Memory Chip Select 16 indicates that the present
data transfer is a 1-wait state, 16-bit data memory
operation
-IOCS16
[Input, Open collector]
The I/O Chip Select 16 indicates that the present data
transfer is a 1-wait state, 16-bit data I/O operation
OSC [Output] The Oscillator is a 14.31818 MHz signal
-ZWS
[Input, Open collector]
The Zero Wait State indicates to the microprocessor that
the present bus cycle can be completed without inserting
additional wait cycle

3.2.7 CPU Setting
The AR-B1474 accepts many types of microprocessor, such as INTEL/AMD/CYRIX 486DX/DX2/DX4. All of these
CPUs include an integer processing unit, floating-point processing unit, memory-management unit, and cache.
They can give a two to ten-fold performance improvement in speed over the 386 processor, depending on the
clock speeds used and specific application. Like the 386 processor, the 486 processor includes both segment-
based and page-based memory protection schemes. Instruction processing time is reduced by on-chip instruction
pipelining. By performing fast, on-chip memory management and caching, the 486 processor relaxes requirements
for memory response for a given level of system performance.
