**8289        Bus Arbiter (808x)                                   c79
***Notes:...
***Info:
The Intel 8289 Bus Arbiter  is a 20-pin, 5-volt-only bipolar component
for use  with medium to large iAPX  86, 88 multimaster/multiprocessing
systems.  The  8289 provides system  bus arbitration for  systems with
multiple bus masters, such as an  8086 CPU with 8089 IOP in its REMOTE
mode, while providing bipolar buffering and drive capability.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The  8289  Bus Arbiter  operates  in  conjunction  with the  8288  Bus
Controller  to interface  iAPX  86, 88  processors  to a  multi-master
system bus (both  the iAPX 86 and iAPX 88 are  configured in their max
mode). The processor is unaware  of the arbiter's existence and issues
commands as  though it has  exclusive use of  the system bus.   If the
processor does  not have the use  of the multi-master  system bus, the
arbiter prevents the Bus  Controller (8288), the data transceivers and
the address latches from accessing the system bus (e.g. all bus driver
outputs are forced into the  high impedance state).  Since the command
sequence was  not issued by  the 8288, the  system bus will  appear as
"Not Ready" and  the processor will enter wait  states.  The processor
will remain  in Wait  until the  Bus Arbiter acquires  the use  of the
multi-master  system bus  whereupon  the arbiter  will  allow the  bus
controller, the  data transceivers, and the address  latches to access
the system.   Typically, once the command  has been issued  and a data
transfer has taken place, a transfer acknowledge (XACK) is returned to
the processor to indicate" READY"  from the accessed slave device. The
processor then  completes its transfer cycle. Thus  the arbiter serves
to multiplex  a processor (or  bus master) onto a  multi-master system
bus and avoid contention problems between bus masters.
