PREFACE
The ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A are single board computers designed
primarily for DOS applications on the STD bus. The combination of
the 8088-compatible V20 microprocessor with RAM, EPROM, serial
ports, a printer port, timers, and a real-time clock makes a hardware-
compatible PC viable for compact industrial applications.
This manual describes the operation and use of the ZT 8808A/8809A.
The only difference between the ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A is the
processor clock speed; the ZT 8808A runs at 5 MHz and the
ZT 8809A runs at 8 MHz. The ZT 88CT08A and ZT 88CT09A are
extended temperature CMOS versions of the ZT 8808A and
ZT 8809A.
Except where otherwise specifically stated, all references in this
manual to the ZT 8809A also apply to the ZT 8808A and
ZT 88CT08A/88CT09A.
The following organizational outline describes the focus of each
chapter. Section headings enclosed in boxes indicate the locations of
labeled tabs, provided for quick access to the appropriate information.
Chapter 1, "Introduction,"is an overview of the ZT 8809A. It
includes a product definition, a listing of product features, a functional
block diagram, and a brief description of each block. If you are
evaluating the ZT 8809A to determine whether it fits your needs, this
chapter is especially useful to you.
Chapter 2, "Getting Started,"summarizes the information you need
to get your ZT 8809A up and running. Refer to the remaining
chapters in this manual for further explanation of the material covered
here.
Chapter 3, "Theory Of Operation," presents a detailed description
of ZT 8809A system level operation. Some of the topics discussed
include microprocessor performance compared to the IBM PC,
Preface
STD bus compatibility, serial communications, interrupts, direct
memory access, power-fail protection, and battery backup.
Chapter 4, "Application Examples," provides specific examples of
the ZT 8809A in operation, including code to implement these
applications. The examples demonstrate the use of interrupts, timers,
and the real-time clock.
Chapter 5, "Memory and I/O Capability," focuses on the memory
and input/output organization of the V20 microprocessor relative to
the ZT 8809A.
Chapter 6, "CPU Description (V20)," describes the basic
components of the V20 microprocessor, its enhancements over 8088
architecture, its ability to operate in both native mode and 8080
emulation mode, its operation with DMA, and the wait state
generator.
Chapter 7, "Numeric Data Processor (8087)," explains the
installation and operation of the optional 8087 Numeric Data
Processor for numerically intensive applications.
Chapter 8, "Serial Communications (16C452)," describes the two
RS-232-C serial ports on the ZT 8809A, serial port signals, and
register addresses.
Chapter 9, "Centronics Printer Interface," details the Centronics
printer port interface.
Chapter 10, "Real-Time Clock (DS 1215)," explains the
organization of the real-time clock, including method of access and
register organization.
Preface
Chapter 11, "Counter/Timers (8254)," describes the main
components of the three programmable 16-bit counter/timers
implemented in an Intel 8254 chip on the ZT 8809A. This chapter
describes the method used to program the counter/timers and their use
by STD DOS and STD ROM.
Chapter 12, "Interrupt Controller (8259A)," describes the features
and operation of the Intel 8259A Programmable Interrupt Controller
(PIC).
Chapter 13, "ZT 88CT08A/88CT09A CMOS Boards," describes
the functional, electrical, and environmental characteristics of the
CMOS versions of the ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A that differ from the
non-CMOS versions.
Appendix A, "Jumper Configurations," describes the ZT 8809A
jumper selectable options in detail.
Appendix B, "Specifications," contains the electrical, mechanical,
and environmental specifications for the ZT 8809A. It also contains
STD-80 bus timing diagrams, cable drawings, and tables showing
connector pin assignments.
Appendix C, "Customer Support," offers technical assistance for
ZT 8809A users. A revision history, and warranty and service
information are also included.

OVERVIEW
The 5 MHz ZT 8808A and 8 MHz ZT 8809A are 16-bit single board
computers (SBCs) designed with DOS applications on the STD bus in
mind. The high level of integration allows for a complete STD DOS
system on one board. All peripherals are located at the same I/O
addresses as on the IBM PC, allowing for a greater degree of
software compatibility.

Introduction
A performance increase over 8088-based STD CPU boards is
achieved in part by the use of the NEC V20 microprocessor. This is
an 8088 compatible processor with a superset of the 8088 instruction
set. The V20 is a CMOS device with a standby mode, which results in
lower power consumption.
The ZT 8808A/8809A and 88CT08A/88CT09A boards also provide
an increase in memory capacity over the earlier non-"A" versions
(ZT 8808/8809 and 88CT08/88CT09). The "A" versions allow up to
640 bytes of static RAM directly on the processor board, thus
eliminating the need to use an additional memory board. Increased
memory capacity is accomplished by adding support for a 512 Kbyte
RAM device in socket 7D1 and placing a 128 Kbyte RAM in
socket 3D1 (this configuration assumes no EPROM in socket 3D1). If
you have been using an additional memory board (ZT 8824,
ZT 8820B, ZT 8825, or other) to achieve 640 Kbytes of system RAM,
you may be able to eliminate that memory board from your system by
putting more system RAM on the "A" version processor board.
However, systems with large RAM and PROM disks on the ZT 8825
will probably still require the ZT 8825.
Peripherals on the ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A include three
counter/timers, an interrupt controller, a real-time clock, two
RS-232-C serial ports (one of which may be configured to be
RS-485), a Centronics printer interface or general purpose parallel I/O
port, and four 32-pin memory sockets. The memory sockets may
include one EPROM, two RAM, and one additional RAM or EPROM
(the last socket is configurable). An additional 32 Kbytes of on-board
RAM and a general purpose LED indicator are also provided.

Introduction
All RAM and the real-time clock may be optionally battery-backed by
a 1 Amp-hour lithium battery. DC power failure detection is provided
to switch to the battery backup mode during +5 VDC failure. AC
power failure detection is possible with the use of an optional AC/DC
converter. Detection of AC power failure provides time for the
processor to save critical data in battery-backed RAM before
impending +5 VDC failure.
ZT 88CT08A and ZT 88CT09A
The ZT 88CT08A and ZT 88CT09A are CMOS versions of the
ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A, respectively. They are designed for
extended temperature and low power applications. All references in
this manual to the ZT 8808A and ZT 8809A are also appropriate for
the ZT 88CT08A and ZT 88CT09A. Refer to Chapter 13 for
information pertaining specifically to the ZT 88CT08A and
ZT 88CT09A. Features provided with the CMOS version boards in
addition to the standard ZT 8808A/8809A include slow-down and
sleep modes.
Software support is provided by Ziatech’s STD DOS option and by
the STD ROM option. STD DOS includes the MS-DOS operating
system for the ZT 8809A. STD ROM provides software debugging
capabilities when used in conjunction with an IBM PC. The STD
ROM option is useful for applications where no operating system is
required for the target system. Contact Ziatech for further information
on these development systems.
