Intel 8259: Art, Programming considerations & Overview

The Intel 8259 is a programmable interrupt controller (PIC) designed for the Intel 8080 and Intel 8085 microprocessors. The initial part was the 8259; the later 8259A was upward compatible and usable with the 8086 or 8088 processor. The 8259 combines multiple interrupt input sources into a single interrupt output to the host microprocessor, extending the…
