PROGRAMMABLE

PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
-8255
• It is an I/O port chip used for interfacing
I/O devices with microprocessor system.
• It is device used to implement parallel
data transfer between processor and slow
peripheral devices like ADC, DAC,
keyboard, 7-segment display, lCD etc.
Features:
• It is a programmable device.

• It has 24 I/O programmable pins like PA,PB,PC


(3-8 pins).

 T T L compatible.
• 8255A has three ports
• PORT A
• PORT B
• PORT C
• Port A and Port B are 8 bit parallel
ports.
• Port C can be split into two parts, i.e.
PORT C lower (PC0-PC3) and PORT C
upper (PC7-PC4) by the control word
• These three ports are further divided into
two groups,
– i.e. Group A includes PORT A and upper PORT
C.
– Group B includes PORT B and lower PORT C
• These two groups can be programmed in
three different modes.
• Three operating modes :
– Mode-0(simple I/O port)
– Mode-1(Handshake I/O port)
– Mode-2(Bidirectional I/O port)
Mode 0
• In this mode, Port A and B is used as two 8-bit ports and
Port C as two 4-bit ports.
• Each port can be programmed in either input mode or
output mode where outputs are latched and inputs are
not latched.
• Ports do not have interrupt capability.
• Ports in mode 0 is used to interfaces LEDs, Hexa keypad
and 7 segment LEDS to the processor.
Mode 1

• In this mode, Port A and B is used as 8-bit


I/O ports.
• They can be configured as either input or
output ports.
• Each port uses three lines from port C as
handshake signals.
• Inputs and outputs are latched
• MODE 1 :(Input/output with Hand shake)
• In this mode, input or output is transferred
by hand shaking Signals.

DATA BUS
STB
ACK
Busy

• Handshaking signals is used to transfer data


between whose data transfer is not same.
• Example:
• The computer send the data to the printer
large speed compared to the printer.
• When computer send the data according to
the printer speed at the time only, printer can
accept.
• If printer is not ready to accept the data then
after sending the data bus , computer uses
another handshaking signal to tell printer that
valid data is available on the data bus.
• Each port uses three lines from port C as
handshake signals
Mode 2

• In this mode, Port A can be configured as


the bidirectional port and Port B either in
Mode 0 or Mode 1.
• Port A uses five signals from Port C as
handshake signals for data transfer.
• The remaining three signals from Port C
can be used either as simple I/O or as
handshake for port B.
MODE 2:bi-directional I/O data transfer:
• This mode allows bidirectional data transfer
over a single 8-bit data bus using handshake
signals.
• This feature is possible only Group A
• Port A is working as 8-bit bidirectional.
• PC3-PC7 is used for handshaking purpose.
• The data is sent by CPU through this port ,
when the peripheral request it.
• CONTROL WORD FORMATS:
• In the INPUT mode , When RESET is High all
24 pins (3-ports) be a input mode.
• i.e all flip flops are cleared and the interrupts
are rest.
• This condition is maintained even after RESET
goes low.
• This can be avoid by writing single control
word to the control registers , when required.
Pin Diagram
Function of pins:
• Data bus(D0-D7):These are 8-bit bi-directional buses,
connected to 8086 data bus for transferring data.

• CS: This is Active Low signal. It stands for Chip Select. A


LOW on this input selects the chip and enables the
communication between the 8255 and the CPU.

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


microprocessor reads data from a selected I/O port of
8255A.

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


microprocessor writes data into a selected I/O port .
• Address (A0-A1):This is used to select the
ports.

A1 A0 Select

0 0 PA

0 1 PB

1 0 PC

reg.
• 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.
1. PC0 to PC3(Lower Groups)
2. PC4 to PC7 (Higher groups)
These two groups working in separately using 4
data’s.
Block Diagram-8255
Data Bus buffer:
• It is a 8-bit bidirectional Data bus.

• Used to interface between 8255 data bus


with system bus.

• The internal data bus and Outer pins D0-D7


pins are connected in internally.

• The direction of data buffer is decided by


Read/Control Logic.
Read/Write Control Logic:
• This is getting the input signals from
control bus and Address bus

• Control signal are RD and WR.

• Address signals are A0,A1,and CS.

• 8255 operation is enabled or


disabled by CS.
Group A and Group B control:
• Group A and B get the Control Signal from CPU and
send the command to the individual control blocks.
• Group A send the control signal to port A and Port
C (Upper) PC7-PC4.
• Group B send the control signal to port B and Port
C (Lower) PC3-PC0.
• PORT A:
• This is a 8-bit buffered I/O latch.
• It can be programmed by mode 0 , mode 1, mode
2.
PORT B:
• This is a 8-bit buffer I/O latch.
• It can be programmed by mode 0 and
mode 1.
• PORT C:
• This is a 8-bit Unlatched buffer Input and an
Output latch.
• It is splitted into two parts.
• It can be programmed by bit set/reset
operation.
Operation modes in 8255

• Two operating modes:


– I/O mode( mode 0, mode 1, mode2)
– Bit set/Reset mode
Operation modes:
BIT SET/RESET MODE:
• The PORT C can be Set or Reset by sending OUT
instruction to the CONTROL registers.
I/O MODES:
• MODE 0(Simple input / Output):
• In this mode , port A, port B and port C is used as
individually (Simply).
• Features:
• Outputs are latched , Inputs are buffered not
latched.
• Ports do not have Handshake or interrupt capability.
Control words

• Two control words:


– I/O mode set control word(MSW)
– Bit set/reset control word(BSR)
• MSW is used to specify I/O functions.
• BSR is used to set/reset individual pins of
Port C.
• Both the control words are written in the
same control register.
• 8255 ports are programmed by writing control word in
the control word in the control register.
• For setting I/O functions and mode of operation the I/O
mode set control word is send to control register.
• For setting/ resetting pins of port C, the bit set/reset
control word is send to control register.
FOR BIT SET/RESET MODE:
• This is bit set/reset control word format.

• PC0-PC7 is set or reset as per the status of D0.
• A BSR word is written for each bit
• Example:
– PC3 is Set then control register will be 0XXX0111.
– PC4 is Reset then control register will be
0XXX01000.
• X is a don’t care.

• The control word for both mode is same.
• Bit D7 is used for specifying whether word
loaded in to Bit set/reset mode or Mode
definition word.
• D7=1=Mode definition mode.
• D7=0=Bit set/Reset mode.
