Explain Briefly The Role Of The 8284 Processor?

1.	Explain Briefly The Role Of The 8284 Processor?
Answer» The 8284 is considered to be a supporting part for microprocessors. It is responsible for the GENERATION of clock signals. The clock GENERATOR forms an intrinsic part of a circuit as without it EVERY component in the system would have to create a signal for it independently. When F/C’ is at logic, the oscillator OUTPUT is steered through to the divide-by-3 counter.
