Falcon CPU - Which pins are Data and Address?

[Chandler]

I have the PDF of the Falcon CPU with pinout of the pins but none are marked as Data or Address

 

How do i find out these 2 lines?

 

Thanks

Pages 47 and 48 detail the pinout of the chip pins Axx are the address lines pins Dxx are the Data lines

OK so there isn't 1 x data line or address line but many data and address lines!

Correct. There is an "address bus" and a "data bus". The address bus is the set of Ax and the data bus is the set of Dx as mentioned before.

I really don't want to be unpleasant, but how about first learning some basic things about CPUs, general about digital circuits, computers, before studying some CPUs data sheet ?

I'm just going on what is stated in the Falcon service manual for testing CPU, "check data and address lines to see if they are toggling" it says when test cartridge fitted on initial power up

 

The manual doesn't specify which data and address lines to check so do i assume any of them??!!

But you're so GOOD at it... Would be a shame to let all that talent go to waste.

That formulation makes not clear are there multiple address lines, and multiple data lines. Or is multiple because 1+1 is multiple number 🙂 Still, it is elementary in case of come computer.  It is best to check lower address lines - like A3 and around - highest address lines may toggle in longer time intervals - talking when it works, and CPU is not 'frozen' . Data lines normally all change state in normal work.  But with voltmeter you will not see toggling, just average voltage. Frequency is in MHz range. Scope or logic probe is where it is best visible.

I have a logic probe. Ok so i will check as you say around A3 area...

 

Thanks for your help
