 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 8085.

• 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.

• Address (A0-A1):This is used to select the
ports. like this

• RESET: This is used to reset the device.

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

send the data to peripheral or
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.

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 internally.

• The direction of data buffer is decided by

Read/Control Logic.
 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, MODE 1, MODE 2,

10
Mode 0: Simple Input or Output

In this mode, ports A, B are used as two simple 8-bit I/O ports
port C as two 4-bit ports.
Each port can be programmed to function as simply an input port or
an output port.

Ports don’t have handshake or interrupt capability.

11
Mode 1: Input or Output with Handshake

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.

12
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

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.

 A/D Interfacing
• In most of the cases, the 8255 is used for interfacing the
analog to digital converters with microprocessor
through its ports.

• The analog to digital converters is treated as an input

device by the microprocessor, that sends an initializing
signal to the ADC to start the analogy to digital data
conversation process.

• The process of analog to digital conversion is a slow

process, and the microprocessor has to wait for the
digital data till the conversion is over.
 A/D Interfacing

• After the conversion is over, the ADC sends end of

conversion EOC signal to inform the microprocessor
that the conversion is over and the result is ready at
the output buffer of the ADC.

• These tasks of issuing an SC pulse to ADC, reading EOC

signal from the ADC and reading the digital output of
the ADC are carried out by the CPU using 8255 I/O
ports.
 A/D Interfacing
• The time taken by the ADC from the active edge
of SOC pulse till the active edge of EOC signal is
called as the conversion delay of the ADC.
• Successive approximation techniques and dual
slope integration techniques are the most
popular techniques used in the integrated ADC
chip.
• The analog to digital converter chips 0808 and
0809 are 8-bit CMOS, successive approximation
converters.
