INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
Monoboard Microcomputer
1 (Micromodu le
1),
as shown
in Figure
1-1
,
is a
complete compute r-on
-
a-board which will provide the O
EM
with a
solution
to
most
of
his processing
and con tro
l
applications.

1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Th
e
Monoboard Microcomputer
1
provides the user with
all
of
the
processing
and control power of an
MC6800 Microprocessing Unit
(MPU) working wit
h 1 K
of
RAM
,
up
10
4K of
EROM
or
ROM
for
pro gramming
,
and three
programmable
Peripheral
Interface
Adapters
(PI
A)
. Additionally,
the
user
has the
op
ti
on
of
interfacing
Monoboard Microcomputer 1
(via its
address, data,
and
control
bu
s
buffers)
wi
th other
modules
in
the Micromodule family
and with
the
EXORciser.
T
he
board
also contains
th
e
required two-phase
clock
generator,
th
e
reset
tim er
for
power
turn-on initialization
,
add ress
bus decoding for
establishing
the
add resses
for each
part,
and
th
e
refresh
circuit for
use
with optional
external
dynamic
memories.
T
he
PIA's
input/output
sig nals
are identified
in Table
