D8259

The D8259 is a soft Core Programmable Interrupt Controller, fully compatible with the 82C59A device. Our efficient IP core can manage up to 8-vectored priority interrupts for the processor. Moreover, you can also program it to cascade and gain up to 64 vectored interrupts. And if it’s not enough, you can always get more than 64 vectored interrupts. Just program our IP Core to the Poll Command Mode. The D8259 can operate in all 82C59A modes and supports all 82C59A features. The D8259 Package includes a fully automated test bench. Thanks to a complete set of tests you can easily validate the whole package at each stage of the SoC design flow. Same as all DCD’s IP Cores, this one’s also got technology independent design which can be implemented in a variety of process technologies.
