Abstract

See full text

An electronic circuit employed in a microprocessor system inserts a programmable number of wait states in a machine cycle of the microprocessor in response to a specific operational code of the microprocessor's instruction set being detected on a system data bus. A particular application of the wait state generation circuit is to provide enough time for a control signal to propagate along a plurality of daisy-chained peripherals before the microprocessor machine cycle ends. The wait state generation circuit may be provided as part of the microprocessor on a single integrated circuit chip.
