UPI-41A/41AH/42/42AH USER’S MANUAL
The following section summarizes the functions of each UPI pin. NOTE that several pins have two or more
functions which are described in separate paragraphs.

– D
7
12 – 19
I/O
DATA BUS:
Three-state, bidirectional DATA BUS BUFFER
(BUS)
lines used to interface the UPI-41A/41AH/42/42AH
microcomputer to an 8-bit master system data bus.
P

27-34
I/O
PORT 1:
8-bit, PORT 1 quasi-bidirectional I/O lines.
P
20
– P
27
21-24
I/O
PORT 2:
8-bit, PORT 2 quasi-bidirectional I/O lines. The lower
35 – 38
4 bits (P
20
– P
23
) interface directly to the 8243 I/O expander
device and contain address and data information during PORT
4 – 7 access. The upper 4 bits (P
24
– P
27
) can be programmed
to provide interrupt Request and DMA Handshake capability.
Software control can configure P
24
as Output Buffer Full
(OBF) interrupt, P
25
as Input Buffer Full (IBF) interrupt, P
26
as
DMA Request (DRQ), and P
27
as DMA
ACKnowledge (DACK).
WR
10
I
WRITE:
I/O write input which enables the master CPU to write
data and command words to the UPI INPUT DATA BUS
BUFFER.
RD
8
I
READ:
I/O read input which enables the master CPU to read
data and status words from the OUTPUT DATA BUS BUFFER
or status register.
CS
6
I
CHIP SELECT:
Chip select input used to select one UPI-
41A/41AH/42/42AH microcomputer out of several
connected to a common data bus.
A
0
9
I
COMMAND/DATA SELECT:
Address input used by the
master processor to indicate whether byte transfer is data
(A
0
e
0) or command (A
0
e
1).
TEST 0,
1
I
TEST INPUTS:
Input pins can be directly tested using
TEST 1
39
conditional branch instructions.
FREQUENCY REFERENCE:
TEST 1 (T
1
) also functions as
the event timer input (under software control). TEST0 (T
0
) is
used during PROM programming and verification in the UPI-
41A/41AH/42/42AH.
XTAL 1,
2
I
INPUTS:
Inputs for a crystal, LC or an external timing signal to
XTAL 2
3
determine the internal oscillator frequency.
SYNC
11
O
OUTPUT CLOCK:
Output signal which occurs once per UPI
instruction cycle. SYNC can be used as a strobe for external
circuitry; it is also used to synchronize single step operation.
EA
7
I
EXTERNAL ACCESS:
External access input which allows
emulation, testing and PROM/ROM verification.
PROG
25
I/O
PROGRAM:
Multifunction pin used as the program pulse input
during PROM programming.
During I/O expander access the PROG pin acts as an
address/data strobe to the 8243.
RESET
4
I
RESET:
Input used to reset status flip-flops and to set the
program counter to zero. RESET is also used during PROM
programming and verification.
SS
5
I
SINGLE STEP:
Single step input used in conjunction with the
SYNC output to step the program through each instruction.
V
CC
40
POWER:
a
5V main power supply pin.
V
DD
26
POWER:
a
5V during normal operation.
a
25V for UPI-41A,
21V for UPI-42 programming operation,
a
12V for
programming, UPI-41AH/42AH. Low power standby pin in
ROM version.

GROUND:
Circuit ground potential.
