The Intel 8284 is a clock oscillator chip developed primarily for supplying clock signals for the Intel-8086/ 8087/ 8088/
8089 The Intel 8089 input/output coprocessor was available for use with the 8086/8088 central processor. It was announced in May 1979, but the price was not available at that time. It used the same programming technique as 8087 for input/output operat ...
series of processors. The commercial variant of the chip comes in 18-pin DIL and 20-pin PLCC packages, and originally was priced at $4.90 USD. The industrial version, rated for the temperatures range of -40 °C to +85 °C was priced at $13.50 USD. The available 82C84A CMOS version was outsourced to Oki Electronic Industry Co., Ltd. The available packaged Intel 82C84A version of 20-pin PLCC in sampling at first quarter of 1986.Ashborn, Jim; "Advanced Packaging: A Little Goes A Long Way", Intel Corporation, Solutions, January/February 1986, Page 2


Function

The 8284 contains a clock generator capable of a third the frequency of the input clock (5 or 8MHz with the 8284A, and 10MHz with the 8284A-1), with sources selectable between an external crystal and clock input. The main clock output consists of a 4.5V (Vcc @ 5V) pulse wave at a 33.3% duty cycle, with an additional peripheral clock running at half of the main clock and a 50% duty cycle. Additional logic is provided to accommodate delays to allow for proper system start-up. It has been used in the
