III. USER’S REFERENCE
Chapter 3, "Theory Of Operation," presents a detailed description
of ZT 8832 system level operation. Topics discussed include
commonly asked questions, memory and I/O organization, and
interrupt structure.
Chapter 4, "Application Examples," gives specific examples of the
ZT 8832 in operation, including code to implement these applications.
Chapter 5, "Processor Description (V40)," divides the V40 into
functional blocks and presents a theory of operation for each. This
chapter is most useful to those not familiar with the architecture of the
V40/8088 series microprocessor.
Chapter 6, "Processor Configuration (V40)," describes the
architecture of a V40 software programmable register set used to
configure peripherals resident on the V40 for specific applications.
These peripherals are described in detail in the following chapters.
Chapter 7, "Counter/Timers (V40)," describes the function,
configuration, and operation of the V40 Counter/Timer Control Unit,
which includes three 16-bit counter/timers and is functionally
equivalent to the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer. The chapter
also includes register descriptions.
Chapter 8, "Interrupt Controller (V40)," describes the function,
configuration, and operation of the V40 Interrupt Control Unit, a pro-
grammable interface between interrupt-generating peripherals and the
CPU. The chapter also includes register descriptions.
