#84457 - living in the past
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Unfortuantely this is part of a specification i have been given
If this is school, I feel sorry for you. You are stuck with a teacher that lives in the past.
If it is business, go to the idiot and tell him/her to update his/her practices.

From the design will i have an issue with AC/DC loading do you think?
For DC, look up the devices and verify thay all are CMOS/"no" load. For AC load only a very slight possibility since part of the quaint Antiquity of this "design" is that it uses an old 12 clocker at 11 MHz ( ~1MHz cycle) you should not have a problem, with such a processor you can, in most cases, live with total prop delays in the half microsecond range. Have a look in "the bible" to see how wide a time allowance this gives you. If you had a modern design with, say a 50MHz one clocker, the issue would be things like !RD through decoders and whatnot as well as the prescence of the address bits (heavy load) at ALE time - of course if you had a current design, most of the stuff would not be there, thus no load.

Steve the ADC is from Analogue Devices AD7819.
We all know that, the question was "how old is it"
