FIRQ generator<br />

The FIRQ line on a 6809 microprocessor is the second of three interrupt lines, NMI and IRQ being<br />

the other two. It is used in the ES/2 for scheduling various software routines including :<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Polling the keys.<br />

Tach timeout.<br />

Diagnostic port processing.<br />

Checking video periods.<br />

FPGA SPLIT (U38) contains the firq generator. It simply counts the main system ‘Q pulse’ and<br />

generates a low going pulse on the FIRQ line after 5ms. The firq subroutine then cancels the low<br />

level by writing to a location which clears the output latch.<br />
