Operation of 8255A

The 8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface chip has two main modes of operation - I/O mode and Bit Set-Reset mode. In I/O mode, the ports work as programmable I/O ports and can be configured in three sub-modes (Mode 0, 1, and 2) using a Control Word Register. Mode 1 uses handshaking signals to coordinate data transfer between ports. Mode 2 allows bi-directional communication on a single bus. In Bit Set-Reset mode, individual bits of port C can be set or reset using the Control Word Register.
![Mode 1 (STROBE I/O)
• This functional configuration provides a means for
transferring I/O data to or from a specified port in conjunction
with strobes or “handshaking” signals.
• In mode 1, Port A and Port B use the lines on Port C to
generate or accept these “handshaking” signals.

![Mode 2
(STROBE BIDIRECTIONAL BUS I/O)
• This functional configuration provides a means for
communicating with a peripheral device or structure on a
single 8-bit bus for both transmitting and receiving data
(bidirectional bus I/O).
• “Handshaking” signals are provided to maintain proper bus
flow discipline in a similar manner to MODE 1.
• Interrupt generation and enable/disable functions are also
available.

Operation of 8255A
- 1. OPERATION OF 8255A PROGRAMMABLE PERIPHERAL INTERFACE BY : ANUJ YADAV 14606, ECS anuj_yadav 1
- 2. MODES There are two basic modes of operation of 8255A. • I/O mode – In this mode, the 8255A ports work as programmable I/O ports. • Bit Set-Reset mode – In this mode, only port C (PC0 – PC7) can be used to set or reset its individual port bits. anuj_yadav 2
- 3. Bit Operation D7 1 for I/O Mode | 0 for BSR Mode D6, D5, D4 These are Undefined or Don’t Care D3, D2, D1 These are Bit select flags 000-111 => for bits PC0 – PC7 D0 1 for set | 0 for Reset • I/O Mode Control Word Register Format – The I/O modes can be programmed using control word register by putting D7 at logic 1. Format is shown below: D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 1 X X X B2 B1 B0 S/R • Bit Set-Reset Mode – In this mode any of the 8-bits of port C can be set or reset depending on D0 of the control word. The bit to be set or reset is selected by bit select flags D3, D2 and D1 of CWR. Format is shown below: D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 0 X X X B2 B1 B0 S/R anuj_yadav 3
- 4. HANDSHAKING Signals • Dedicated lines used to coordinate data transfer. • Used to signal ready/not ready, or to acknowledge or request. NEED: • The MPU and peripherals operate at different speeds, the MPU being faster than the peripherals. • To avoid overlapping of data during data input or data output, handshake signals are used between MPU & the peripherals. anuj_yadav 4
- 5. I/O Operating Modes • Under the I/O mode of operation, further there are three modes of operation of 8255A. Mode 0 – Basic Input/output Mode 1 – Strobed Input/output Mode 2 – Bi-directional Bus • All these modes can be selected by programming register internal to 8255A known Control Word Register(CWR). • This very register with different format can also be used for Bit Set-Reset(BSR) mode of Operation. anuj_yadav 5
- 6. Mode 0 (BASIC I/O) • Provides simple input and output capabilities using each of the three ports. • Data can be simply read from and written to the input and output ports respectively, after appropriate initialization. • No Handshaking is required.

Both inputs and outputs are latched. The 4-bit port is used for control and status of the 8-bit data port. PC0 – PC2 for Port B and PC3 – PC5 for Port A. anuj_yadav 9
