INTERFACES

The following subsections explain the interfaces between
the:

Z180 and Memory

Z180 and I/O

Z180 and SCC

Basic goals of this system design are:

System clock up to 10 MHz

Using the Z8018010VSC (Z180 10 MHz PLCC
package) to take advantage of 1M byte addressing
space and compactness (DIP versions’ addressing
range is half; 512K bytes)

Using Z85C3010VSC (CMOS SCC 10 MHz PLCC
package)

Minimum parts count

Worst case design

Using EPLD for glue wherever possible

Expendability

The design method for EPLD is using TTLs (74HCT) and
then translating them into EPLD logic. This design uses
TTLs and EPLDs. With these goals in mind, the discussion
begins with the Z180-to-memory interface.

Z180 to Memory Interface

The memory access cycle timing of the Z180 is similar to
the Z80 CPU memory access cycle timing. The three
classifications are:

Opcode fetch cycle (Figure 1)

Memory read cycle (Figure 2)

Memory write cycle (Figure 3)

Table 1 shows the Z180’s basic timing elements for the
opcode’s fetch/memory read/write cycle.
