Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for information and documentation regarding the Russian interrupt controller IC, specifically the part number 588VN1. Participants are seeking datasheets, pin configurations, and comparisons with similar ICs, including the Intel 8259.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help finding a datasheet for the 588VN1, noting that the existing datasheet lacks application details.
  • Another participant asks for specific details about the IC, including the number of pins, manufacture date, and any additional markings on the chip.
  • It is noted that the 588VN1 has 28 pins and a date code suggesting it was manufactured in the 43rd week of 1989, with construction resembling that of the 1980s.
  • Some participants propose that the 588VN1 may be a rebranded version of the Intel 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller, while others argue that the pin configurations differ significantly.
  • A participant shares a translated datasheet for the 588VN1, originally in Russian, as a response to the request for information.
  • References to the Intel 3000 bit-slice processor family and the Intel Interrupt Control Unit 3214 are made, highlighting differences in pinout and packaging.
  • There is mention of the renaming of the 580 series of devices in the USSR, suggesting a historical context for the 588VN1.
  • One participant expresses frustration at not finding relevant information about the 588VN1 from the provided links.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the relationship between the 588VN1 and the Intel 8259, with some asserting similarities and others emphasizing differences. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the exact specifications and applications of the 588VN1.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of a comprehensive datasheet and the reliance on potentially incomplete or translated documents. There are also unresolved questions about the exact nature and functionality of the 588VN1 compared to other interrupt controllers.

TL;DR
interrupt controller
Hello.

I, need a help to find the proper datasheet of a Russian interrupt controller. I found the the datasheet of this IC where there is no working application and only pin information is there. So, can anyone suggest any document related to this IC.
Part number : 588VN1

Thank you.

If you have the detailed pinout:
1. You know how many pins there are on the chip, we do not. Please tell us.
2. You have an approximate date for the manufacture, from the document date.
3. If you list the pinout, we may recognise the chip under a different name.
4. Do you have that IC? What are all codes marked, date and Manufacturer symbols.

28 pins.
Date code: 43 week of 1989 ?
Construction looks like 1980s.
Maybe it is a rebranded 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller.

hello sir,
what you got is correct , it has 28 pins. but it's not same as intel 8259 ic. because pins configuration are different in 2 ic.
for ex. there is status register pin and vector address pins are there in 588vn1 where in 8259 its not there , how can i relate it?.
thank you.
 
You can relate it by posting the pinout you have found for the 588VN1.
Give a link to the pinout, or attach a list to your next post.

Hello sir,
sorry for late reply, please find the below attachment for the datasheet of 588vn1 IC.
original datasheet was in Russian , so I translated to English.
Thank you.

The Intel 3000 bit-slice processor family, was/is licensed to Mikron in the USSR.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_processors#The_bit-slice_processor
The Intel Interrupt Control Unit was the 3214. It was in a 24 pin package, with a different pinout to your 588VN1.

There is the later Elbrus series. I think that is much too recent to use the 588 ICU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus-2S+

There is a reference to the renaming of the 580 series:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_integrated_circuit_designation
"Before the definition of group В (V) in 1980 computing devices were all assigned subgroup ИК (IK), e.g. microprocessors (КР580ИК80А), peripheral devices (КР580ИК51А). With the introduction of group В the devices in the 580 series were renamed (to КР580ВМ80А and КР580ВВ51А, respectively) in 1986."
I would suggest you follow that lead.

Hello sir,
I didn't get any related information about 588vn1 ic from above links.
Thank you.
