The Intersil 82C59A is a high performance CMOS Priority

Interrupt Controller manufactured using an advanced 2m

CMOS process. The 82C59A is designed to relieve the

system CPU from the task of polling in a multilevel

priority system. The high speed and industry standard

configuration of the 82C59A make it compatible with

microprocessors such as 80C286, 80286, 80C86/88,

8086/88, 8080/85 and NSC800.

The 82C59A can handle up to eight vectored priority

interrupting sources and is cascadable to 64 without

additional circuitry. Individual interrupting sources can be

masked or prioritized to allow custom system configuration.

Two modes of operation make the 82C59A compatible with

both 8080/85 and 80C86/88/286 formats.

Static CMOS circuit design ensures low operating power.

The Intersil advanced CMOS process results in performance

equal to or greater than existing equivalent products at a

fraction of the power.
