# Hardware Design
|
|
|
|
## Basic Hardware Version
|
|
|
|
The hardware uses an Arduino to write data and to toggle control lines with the
|
|
appropriate timing to access the PROM. A pair of 74LS164 serial to parallel shift
|
|
registers latch the address lines. Use of the shift registers allows the Arduino to
|
|
control up to 16 address lines using only 3 output ports.
|
|
|
|
The basic circuit is as follows:
|
|
* Pins D2..D9 are wired to the data lines on the target PROM.
|
|
* Pins A0..A2 are wired to the WE, CE, and OE control lines on the target PROM.
|
|
* Pins A3..A5 control shift registers to produce the address lines.
|
|
* Pins D10..D12 control A16..A18 for chips larger than 64K bytes.
|
|
|
|
Note that the existing design uses 74LS164 shift registers, but another 8-bit parallel out
|
|
shift register, like the 74LS594 or 74LS595, could be used instead with some pin changes.
|
|
|
|
The two shift registers can produce a sixteen bit address, although the 28C256 only needs
|
|
15 addresses. Chips larger than 64K are supported by using the shift registers for A0..A15
|
|
and connecting Arduino pins D10..D12 to the chip's A16..A18
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:**
|
|
The schematic does not show the Vcc and ground pins for the 74LS164 shift registers.
|
|
These must be connected to +5 and ground, respectively.
|
|
|
|
## Intel 8755A Hardware Version
|
|
|
|
The Intel 8755A uses a multiplexed data and address bus, plus 3 additional address lines.
|
|
Most Arduino hardware has enough pins to support this directly, so no additional hardware
|
|
is needed for addressing. An Arduino pin is also used to drive the ALE latch pin.
|
|
|
|
The 8755A requires the Vdd pin to be be switched between 5V and 25V during the programming
|
|
of each byte. A simple transistor circuit is used for this. No voltage regulator circuit
|
|
is present here for the programming voltage. Because this is designed as a quickly
|
|
assembled hardware design, a triple output bench supply was used to provide the 25.5V,
|
|
5.5V and 5V outputs.
