• Compatible with standard 8259A interrupt controller functionality
• Supports 8080, 8085, 80C86, and 80C88 processor architectures

Specialized Applications

• Microprocessor-based system interrupt management
• 8080/8085 based embedded controllers
• 80C86/80C88 compatible computer systems

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '96' against official Harris datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match the standard CS82C59A. Ensure compatibility with the target system's voltage levels and timing requirements before integration.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a CMOS-compatible replacement for the NMOS 8259A is required in 8080 or 8086-family designs. Consider the CQCC28 package constraints and verify that the interrupt priority logic meets the system design specifications.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the Harris 82C59 series of interrupt controllers. It serves as a CMOS version of the industry-standard 8259A PIC, offering lower power dissipation while maintaining functional compatibility with legacy NMOS designs and various Intel processor families.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

The IR82C59A-5 is a documented Harris equivalent interrupt controller. Verify pin compatibility and operating temperature ranges before substitution.
