8255 Interface Notes

The 8255 PPI allows an MPU to interface with external devices through parallel and serial interfaces. It contains 24 I/O pins organized into 3 8-bit ports (A, B, C) that can be configured for input or output in different modes. The control word determines the configuration and functionality of each port.

8255 PPI

Programmable Peripheral Interface


Introduction
• MPU interface to external devices through both parallel and serial
interfaces.
• Parallel data occur in system that use:
– Displays
– Keyboard
– Printers (old printer)
– Etc.
• Serial data occurs in:
– Some printers
– Data communications
About
• 24 I/O pins
• 8 bit parallel ports: A, B
• C port: can be grouped as 4 bit CU(C upper) and
CL(C Lower)
• Two Modes: BSR(Bit Set/reset) and I/O mode
• BSR mode set/reset in port C
• I/O mode is further divided in 3 modes:
– Mode 0: simple
– Mode 1: Handshake
– Mode 2 : Bidirectional
Pin Diagram
Function of pins:
• Data bus(D0-D7):These are 8-bit bi-directional buses,
connected to 8085 data bus for transferring data.

• CS: This is Active Low signal. When it is low, then


data is transfer from 8086.

• Read: This is Active Low signal, when it is Low read


operation will be start.

• Write: This is Active Low signal, when it is Low Write


operation will be start.
Function of pins:
• Address (A0-A1):This is used to select the
ports. like this

A1 A0 Select

0 0 PA

0 1 PB

1 0 PC

Control
1 1
reg.
Function of pins:
• RESET: This is used to reset the device. That means clear
control registers.

• PA0-PA7:It is the 8-bit bi-directional I/O pins used to send


the data to peripheral or to receive the data from peripheral.

• PB0-PB7:Similar to PA

• PC0-PC7:This is also 8-bit bidirectional I/O pins. These lines


are divided into two groups.
– PC0 to PC3(Lower Groups)
– PC4 to PC7 (Higher groups)
These two groups working in separately using 4 data’s.

Control Word
• Can be accessed when A0=1 and A1=1
• Cannot be accessed for read operation
• Steps to communicate with 8255
– Determine the addresses of port A,B and C and
control register according to CS and A0 ,A1
– Write control word in control register
– Write I/O instruction to communicate with
peripheral through A,B and C
Control Word
Mode 0: Simple Input or Output

• In this mode, ports A, B are used as two


simple 8-bit I/O ports and port C as two 4-bit
ports. Each port can be programmed to
function as simply an input port or an output
port. The input/output features in Mode 0 are
as follows.
– Outputs are latched.
– Inputs are not latched.
– Ports don’t have handshake or interrupt
capability.
• Example :
PROBLEM: 15.1
1. Identify port address
2. Identify the mode 0 control word to configure port A and port Cu as output
port and port B and port CL as input.
3. Write a program to …………………………………….

Figure 9:
8255 PIA: Example

• Solutions:
– Port Address :
• It is actually an I/O memory map.
• When A15 is active high, Chip Select signal is activated.
• Assuming all don’t care signals are at logic 0, therefore ports’
address are as follows:
8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface

• Solution:
– Control Word:
8255 PIA
• Solution: ???

Program:
MOV AL, 83H
MOV DX, 8003H
OUT DX, AL
IN AL, 8001H
OUT 8000H, AL
IN AL, 8002H
SHL AL,4
OUT 8002H, AL
