How support chips are used in 8086?

Support chips in the 8086 microprocessor architecture, such as the 8284 and 8288, are used to manage various functions that enhance the CPU's capabilities. The 8284 provides the necessary clock signals and generates control signals for memory and I/O operations, while the 8288 bus controller facilitates communication between the CPU and other components by managing the control signals for the system bus. These support chips help offload specific tasks from the CPU, ensuring efficient operation and better performance in handling memory and I/O devices.
