Address latch

The data bus and the low byte of the address bus is multiplexed on PORTA. The ALE signal indicates when the address is present. This low byte must be stored by a latch until the memory access cycle is completed.

The STK503 latch is connected to the ALE signal. The latched low byte of the address is routed to the SRAM footprint, and is also accessible on the connector marked A[7:0].
