DescriptionLSI 8272 765A Floppy Disk Controller
OverviewThe 8272 is an LSI Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) Chip, WHICH contains the circulty and control functions for interfacing a processor to 4 Floppy Disk Drives. It is capable of supporting either IBM 3740 single density format (FM),or IBM System 34 Double Density format (MFM) including double sided recording. The 8272 provides control signals which simplify the design of an external phase locked loop, and write precompensation circultry. The FDC simplifies and hanles most of the burdens associated with implementing a Floppy Disk Drive Interface.
