Data pin latching

Open kopavel opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

By Z-80 specification Data pins are sampled (latch-ed) in the beginning of T3 for Op-Code fetching or in the middle of T3 for Memory/IO read. By this project implementation it ALWAYS are fetched in the middle of T2. It's way to early! In the middle of T2 WAIT bus are sampled, and if it's LOW - extra Tw are added between T2 and T3 until WAIT go HIGH. That's why Data pins always sampled in T3 and never in T2. Why that? Does that is unspecified declination from specification in Z-80 chip or just error in that particular project?
