Module 3 Notes

The document discusses the 8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chip. It describes the two modes of operation for the 8255 PPI - input-output mode and bit set/reset mode. Input-output mode is further divided into three submodes: mode 0 (basic I/O), mode 1 (strobed I/O), and mode 2 (bidirectional bus I/O). Mode 0 allows independent configuration of ports A, B, and C as inputs or outputs. Mode 1 uses handshaking signals to facilitate data transfer. Mode 2 enables bidirectional communication on port A. The document also provides examples of how handshaking works in strobed input and output modes.

PPIC n8255

Modes of operation

8255 can operate in 2 different modes.

1. Input-Output mode –
If MSB of control word (D7) is 1, PPI works in input-output mode.

– This is further divided into three modes:

• Mode 0 : Basic Input /Output

• Mode1 : Strobed input /output

• Mode 2: Bi-directional bus

Mode 0

• Simplest and most widely used mode

• All the three ports can be programmed as either input or output.


• In this mode, the two 8 bit ports A and B and the 4 bit ports Port C upper and
Port C lower may be used independently.

• Any port can be input or output .

• Outputs are latched.

• The ports in mode 0 are used to interface DIP switches, Hexa-keypad ,LEDs etc

Mode 1(Handshake I/O mode or Strobed I/O mode)

 This is the handshaking mode.

 During data transfer, the communicating devices exchange request and acknowledge
control signals with each other.

 In this mode, Ports A and B pins are used for data transfer while 4 bits of each of port C
are used for generating the hand shaking signals for each of the 8 bit ports.

 Input and Output data are latched.

The handshake signals in Strobed input mode are

STB (strobe) : The peripheral send a data byte to 8255 and indicates
this by lowering the strobe line.

IBF (Input Buffer Full): This is the acknowledge signal sent by 8255 to
indicate data is received

INTR (Interrupt Request) : A high on this is used to interrupt the CPU

The handshaking signals in Strobed output mode are

OBF (Output Buffer Full) : When a processor writes data byte to 8255 ,this signal goes low. It indicates
that this data can be read into the peripherals.

ACK : This is the acknowledge signal sent by peripheral to indicate data is


received from 8255.

INTR (Interrupt Request) : This signal goes after the acknowledge signal is
removed.

INTE (Interrupt Enable) : This is an internal flip flop used to enable or


disable the generation of the INTR signal.

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 (Strobed Bidirectional bus I/O)

• This is the bidirectional mode.

• Only group A can use this mode

• Port A is used for transmitting as well as receiving the data.

• Hand shake signals are generated by the upper 4 bits of Port C

BIT SET/RESET MODE:

• The PORT C can be Set or Reset by sending OUT instruction to the CONTROL registers.

8279 KEYBOARD AND DISPLAY INTERFACING


Features:
 It is designed by Intel
 It support 64 contact key matrix with two more keys “CONTROL”
and “SHIFT”
 It provides 3 operating modes
1.Scanned keyboard mode 2.Scanned sensor matrix mode
3.Strobed Input mode.
 It has inbuilt debounce key .
 It provides 16 byte display RAM to display 16 digits and
interfacing 16 digits.
 It provides two output modes:
1.Left entry (Typewriter type).
2.Right entry (Calculator type).
 Simultaneous keyboard and display operation facility allows to
interleave keyboard and display software.
 The interrupt output of 8279 can be used to tell CPU that the key
press is detected, this eliminates the need of software polling.
