test_intel: phase D — 4001 ROM chip with 4004 integration
The 4001 is the canonical ROM partner of the 4004/4040. 16-pin DIP, 256 bytes of mask-programmed ROM accessed over the 4-bit multiplexed nibble bus, plus 4 I/O port lines (WRR/RDR — not yet wired). Implementation: ~140 LOC clean-room from MCS-4 manual §V. The chip has its own timer at 1351 ns (matching the 4004's clock period), with a state machine that walks the 8-phase frame in lockstep with the 4004: S_IDLE → (SYNC↑) → S_SAMPLE_LOW (A1 nibble) → S_SAMPLE_MID (A2) → S_SAMPLE_HIGH (A3, addr complete) → S_DRIVE_HI (M1, drive opcode high nibble) → S_DRIVE_LO (M2, drive low nibble) → S_POST (X1..X3 idle) → wait for next SYNC. Timing trick: the 4001 must be added to the board BEFORE the 4004 so its tickTimers fires first per advanceNanos. The 4001 then runs one frame "behind" the 4004 — sampling what the 4004 drove last frame and driving what the 4004 will read this frame. Documented in the chip's source and the master plan. Integration test (`test_buses/4001-rom.test.js`) wires both chips on the same board and verifies the 4004 actually fetches and executes opcodes from the 4001 (PC walks 0, 1, 2 with the embedded NOP image). This is the first end-to-end test of the 4-bit multiplexed bus working between two real WASM chips on the canvas, not just JS helpers — proving the bus model scales. Deferred for the next Phase D iteration: 4002 RAM (similar shape + SRC chip-select latching), 4004 SRC/WRM/RDM wiring to exchange data with the 4002, and the Busicom 141-PF integration once both ROM and RAM chips are real. Tests: total test_intel 98 → 99 passing, 0 failed, 11 todo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Phases D and G — still pending
|
||||
## Phase D — partial completion (2026-04-30)
|
||||
|
||||
### Delivered
|
||||
- **4001 ROM** (`test_buses/4001-rom.c`, ~140 LOC) — companion ROM
|
||||
chip for the 4004/4040 over the 4-bit multiplexed nibble bus.
|
||||
Supports the canonical 8-phase frame: captures the 12-bit PC during
|
||||
A1/A2/A3, drives opcode high nibble during M1 and low nibble during
|
||||
M2 if the captured chip-select matches `ROM4001_CHIP_ID` (compile-
|
||||
time constant).
|
||||
- **Integration test** (`test_buses/4001-rom.test.js`) — wires a real
|
||||
4001 chip alongside the 4004 chip on the same board and verifies
|
||||
that the 4004 actually fetches and executes opcodes from the 4001
|
||||
(PC walks 0, 1, 2 with the embedded NOP image).
|
||||
|
||||
### Timing model — the load-bearing trick
|
||||
The 4001's own timer fires once per phase at the same period (1351 ns)
|
||||
as the 4004's. The caller registers the 4001 BEFORE the 4004 in their
|
||||
test board, so the 4001's `tickTimers` runs first per `advanceNanos`.
|
||||
This means the 4001 effectively runs ONE FRAME BEHIND the 4004's
|
||||
drives — it samples the bus contents (driven by the 4004 last frame)
|
||||
and either records the addr nibble or drives the next opcode nibble.
|
||||
A small state machine (S_SAMPLE_LOW → S_SAMPLE_MID → S_SAMPLE_HIGH →
|
||||
S_DRIVE_HI → S_DRIVE_LO → S_POST) handles the 8-phase walk; reset on
|
||||
SYNC rising. Documented in `4001-rom.c`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deferred — still pending
|
||||
- **4002 RAM** — similar 16-pin chip. Needs SRC-instruction tracking
|
||||
(the 4004 latches an 8-bit chip-select into the 4002 during X2/X3
|
||||
of the SRC cycle, then subsequent WRM/RDM/WMP/RDR ops use that
|
||||
latched address). Moderate complexity; same timing model as 4001.
|
||||
- **4004 SRC + WRM/RDM/WMP wiring** to actually exchange data with a
|
||||
4002. The 4004 chip currently STUBS these as no-ops; needs to drive
|
||||
the bus during X2/X3 of SRC and during M2 of the I/O group ops.
|
||||
- **Busicom 141-PF integration test** for 4004 — requires both 4001
|
||||
and 4002 working end-to-end, plus a baked Busicom firmware ROM
|
||||
variant (~1 KB).
|
||||
|
||||
### Tests delta
|
||||
- Total test_intel: 98 → **99 passing**, 11 todo, 0 failed.

|

|

## Phase C deferred items — still pending
|
||||
- **8253 PIT** (programmable interval timer) — 3 channels of 16-bit
|
||||
countdown timers, 6 modes. Needed for system-tick interrupts and PC
|
||||
speaker tone generation.
|
||||
- **8259 PIC** (programmable interrupt controller) — needed for
|
||||
actual hardware interrupt routing on 8080/Z80/8086 demos.

|

* 16-pin DIP, 256 bytes of mask-programmed ROM accessed over the
|
||||
* 4004's 4-bit multiplexed nibble bus, plus 4 I/O port lines that
|
||||
* the CPU can drive via WRR or read via RDR. Each 4001 has a hard-
|
||||
* coded 4-bit chip number (this implementation reads it from a
|
||||
* compile-time #define) and only responds when its number matches
|
||||
* the high nibble of the address driven during the A3 phase.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Source: Intel MCS-4 User's Manual (Feb 1973), §V "4001 Read-Only
|
||||
* Memory" + Fig. 5-1 pin diagram.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Pin contract (16 pins):
|
||||
* D0..D3 I/O shared multiplexed bus with the 4004
|
||||
* SYNC in cycle marker driven by the 4004 (high during A1)
|
||||
* CL in Φ2 clock — informational; we use our own timer
|

* RESET in asynchronous reset
|

* CM in chip-match strobe (= 4004's CM-ROM during M1/M2)

|
||||
* VDD, VSS power
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Timing model — the trickiest part. The 4004 walks an 8-phase frame
|
||||
* (A1, A2, A3, M1, M2, X1, X2, X3) at one phase per timer fire. The
|
||||
* 4001 must:
|
||||
* - capture the 12-bit PC nibble-by-nibble during A1, A2, A3
|
||||
* - drive the opcode high nibble during M1
|
||||
* - drive the opcode low nibble during M2
|
||||
*
|
||||
* BoardHarness fires chips' timers in REGISTRATION order. We rely
|
||||
* on the 4001 being registered BEFORE the 4004 (caller's
|
||||
* responsibility), so the 4001 fires first each advanceNanos. Even
|
||||
* so, the 4001's actions are ONE FRAME behind the 4004's drives —
|
||||
* because in the same advanceNanos, the 4001 fires *before* the
|
||||
* 4004 drives the bus for that phase. A simple state machine handles
|
||||
* this offset:
|
||||
*
|

|

* 2 | A2: PC[7:4] | sample D = PC[3:0] (from frame 1)
|
||||
* 3 | A3: PC[11:8] | sample D = PC[7:4]
|

|

* 5 | M2: read opcode | drive D = opcode_lo
|
||||
* 6..8 | X1..X3 (idle) | idle
|
||||
* (next SYNC) → state resets to start.

/**
|

* Intel 4001 ROM — integration test.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The interesting part of the 4001 is that it cooperates with a real
|
||||
* 4004 over the 8-phase nibble-multiplexed bus. So this test wires
|
||||
* BOTH chips together and verifies the 4004 actually fetches and
|
||||
* executes opcodes from the 4001 — a true end-to-end integration that
|
||||
* couldn't be tested by either chip in isolation.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Setup:
|
||||
* - 4001 baked with a known 16-byte program at offsets 0..15.
|
||||
* Byte 0 = 0x00 (NOP). The chip's rom_image only has bytes 0..15
|
||||
* set; rest is zero.
|
||||
* - 4004 wired to the 4001 (D bus, SYNC, RESET, CM-ROM).
|
||||
* - We register the 4001 BEFORE the 4004 so its timer fires first
|
||||
* per advanceNanos — the 4001 drives D before the 4004 reads.
|
||||
* - Run a few cycles, observe that the 4004 advances PC normally
|
||||
* (NOPs walk through addresses 0,1,2,...).
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The default chip-id (compile-time ROM4001_CHIP_ID = 0) means the
|
||||
* 4001 responds when address bits 11..8 are 0 — i.e. for the first
|
||||
* 256 bytes of program memory.
