8289 Bus Arbiter
8289 Bus Arbiter 1. Dra w the pin connection diagram of 8289. Ans. The following is the connection diagram of 8289. 3. Explai n how 8289 bus arbiter operates in a multi-master system. Ans. In MAX mode 8086 processor is interfaced with 8289 bus arbiter, along with bus controller IC 8288 in a multi-master system bus configuration. When the processor does not use the system buses, bus arbiter forces the bus driver output in the high impedance state. The bus arbiter allows the bus controller, the data transreceivers and the address latches to access the system bus. On a multi-master system bus, the bus arbiter is responsible for avoiding the bus contention between bus masters. 4. Ho w the arbitration between bus masters works? Ans. The bus is transferred to a higher priority master when the lower priority master completes its task. Lower priority masters get the bus when a higher priority one does not seek to access the bus, although with the help of ANYRQST input, the bus...
