Keep on Ticking - MTX RTC

Post by Martin A »

After the slow clock, I've been looking at the DS12887 that Lez supplied in "the kit"

Dave sent me this link http://home.comcast.net/~kr.baker/rtc.txt on connectiog the smaller DS1287 to a ZX81.

Obviously for the MTX full decoding is needed, so I modified the circuit to us an ATF16V8 instead of the 74 series parts.

For some "strange" reason, I chose to use ports 070h and 071h for the clock, OUT to 070h sets up the register address, then IN or OUT 071h to access the location. it works from both basic and assembler.

The WINCUPL code for the PLD is:

Code: Select all

Name     RTC ;
PartNo   00 ;
Date     30/05/2014 ;
Revision 01 ;

Device   G16v8 ;

PIN    12 =  RD                       ; /*                                 */

DS =
!IORQL & M1 & !A7 & A6 & A5 & A4 & !A3 & !A2 & !A1 &  A0 ;

!RW = 
RD;

AS = 
!IORQL & M1 & !A7 & A6 & A5 & A4 & !A3 & !A2 & !A1 & !A0 ;

!CS =
!IORQL & M1 & !A7 & A6 & A5 & A4 & !A3 & !A2 & !A1 &  A0 ;


ASCII "schematic" of the 2 chip's connections, I have them mounted in opposite directions to make the hook up neater

Code: Select all

                 5v |      o| 5v

   +-----+          +-------+
     16V8            DS12887

The 4 signals ds->DS, rw->R/W, as->AS and cs->CS connect between the 2 chips, the remainder connect to the MTX expansion port. Easy!
