(Read): This control signal enables the Read operation. When the signal is low,
the MPU reads data fro a selected I/O Port of the 8255.
(Write): This control signal enables the write operation. When the signal goes
low, MPU writes into a selected I/O Port or control register.
RESET (Reset): This is an active high signal; it clears the control register and sets all
ports in the input mode.
, A0 and A1: Theses are device select signals. Chip Select is connected to a decoded address, and A0
and A1 are generally connected to MPU address lines A0 and A1 respectively
CONTROL WORD
Figure 1.5 shows a register called the control register. The contents of this register called
control word. This register can be accessed to write a control word when A0 and A1 are
at logic 1. This control register is not accessible for a read operation.
Bit D7 of the control register specifies either I/O function or the Bit Set/Reset
function. If bit D7=1, bits D6-D0 determines I/O functions in various modes. If bit D7=0,
Port C operates in the Bit Set/Reset (BSR) mode. The BSR
control word does not affect the functions of Port A and Port B.
To communicate with peripherals through the 8255, three steps are necessary:
1. Determine the address of ports A, B and C and of the control register according to the
chip select logic and address lines A0 andA1.
Operating Modes
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.

In this mode, handshake signals are exchanged between the MPU and peripherals prior to
data transfer. The features of the mode include the following:
1. Two ports (A and B) function as 8-bit I/O ports. They can be configured as either as
input or output ports.
2. Each port uses three lines from ort C as handshake signals. The remaining two
lines of Port C can be used for simple I/O operations.
3. Input and Output data are latched.
4. Interrupt logic is supported.
Mode 2: Bidirectional Data Transfer
This mode is used primarily in applications such as data transfer between two computers.
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.
The BSR mode is concerned only with the eight bits of port C, which can be set or reset
by writing an appropriate control word in the control register. A control word with bit D7
=0 is recognized as a BSR control word, and it does not alter any previously transmitted
control word with bit D7=1; thus the I/O operations of ports A and B are not affected by
a BSR control word. In BSR mode, individual bits of port C can be used for applications
such as an on/off switch. Ports A and B are not affected
by the BSR Mode.
This control word, when written in the control register, sets or resets one bit at a time,
