 It is 40 pin IC ,

  • A0: Selects data (0) or control/status (1) for reads and writes between micro and 8279.
  • BD: Output that blanks the displays.
  • CLK: Used internally for timing. Max is 3 MHz.
  • CN/ST: Control/strobe, connected to the control key on the keyboard.
  • CS: Chip select that enables programming, reading the keyboard, etc.
  • DB7-DB0: Consists of bidirectional pins that connect to data bus on micro.
  • IRQ: Interrupt request, becomes 1 when a key is pressed, data is available.
  • OUT A3-A0/B3-B0: Outputs that sends data to the most significant/least significant nibble of display.
  • RD(WR): Connects to micro's IORC or RD signal, reads data/status registers.
  • RESET: Connects to system RESET.
  • RL7-RL0: Return lines are inputs used to sense key depression in the keyboard matrix.
  • Shift: Shift connects to Shift key on keyboard.
