Address Strobe
All transactions start with AS driven Low and then raised High by Z8
®
CPU. The rising
edge of AS indicates that R/W, DM (if used), and the address outputs are valid. The
address outputs (AD7–AD0), remain valid only during MnT1 and typically must be
latched using AS. Address outputs (A15–A8) remain stable throughout the machine cycle,
regardless of the addressing mode.
Data Strobe
Z8
®
CPU uses DS to time the actual data transfer. For Write operations (R/W = Low), a
Low on DS indicates that valid data is on the AD7–AD0 lines. For Read operations (R/W
= High), the bus is placed in a high-impedance state before driving DS Low, so the
addressed device can put its data on the bus. The Z8 CPU samples this data prior to raising
DS High.
