Retro CPU Interrupts – Driver Options
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2023 12:31 am
I was finalising the design of my first I/O Card for the Minimalist Europe Card Bus (MECB).
I needed a driver circuit for a single connection to an Interrupt input on the Bus, so I thought I’d look at some options for connecting a positive logic signal to the active low Interrupt input on our retro TTL level system Bus.
Join me as I compare the traditional 7406 Open Collector Hex Invertor solution, to some more compact and less wasteful solutions.
