I/O
Any microprocessor need to be interfaced with I/O devices. The I/O address is 16 bit.

Modes of I/O Instructions

Direct I/O the port address is one of the operands.
Address must be 00-FFh.
IN AL, 27h

Data flows through the accumulator

MOV AX, BX OUT 26h, AX

; move 16-bit data from AX to port ; 26h (AL to 26h and AH to 27h)

Indirect I/O the port address is preloaded into DX

Address can be 0000-FFFFh

String I/O allows data to pass directly to or from a memory location.

Peripheral Controllers
Intel has developed several peripheral controller chips designed to support its processors. The goal is to give a complete I/O interface in one chip. Examples: 8255 is Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI). 8259 is Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) 8253/8254 is Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) 8237 is Programmable DMA controller. In PC/XT computers these chips are built into the system board and can be seen by inspection. In modern Computers the functionality of these chips has been built into the system board chipset.

8255A
Is one of the peripheral controller chips designed to support its processors. 8255 is Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI). It is a general purpose parallel I/O Interfacing device. It provides 24 I/O lines organized in three 8-bit I/O ports in one 40-pin package. The ports are usually labeled A,B, and C. fig 8.11

Size of ports
Ports A and B can be programmed as an 8-bit input or output port. In port C each nipple (four bits) can be programmed separately to be a 4-bit input or output port. Only the above size of ports (byte or nipple) can be programmed. For Example, individual bit in a port cannot be programmed. However, what make 8254 a versatile devise is its programming modes

Programming modes
Mode 0: the 8255A is programmed to look like three simple I/O ports. Mode 1: the 8255A is programmed to have two handshaking I/O ports. Mode 1: the 8255A is programmed to have one bidirectional port with five handshaking signals. The modes can be intermixed, for example, port A is programmed to operate in mode 2, while port B operates in mode 0. bit set/reset mode allows individual bits of port C to be set or reset for control purposes.

 Mode 0:
Event counter (example: timer for interrupt) When the counter initiated it will start decrement count from the next T. Out is low for time of count: (n+1)T. Gate should be high for the counter to decrement.

Mode 1:
Hardware initiated counter using Gate (positive pulse). When the counter initiated it will start decrement count. Out is low for time of count: nT.

 Mode 2:
The counter will generate a series of continuous pulses. Out will pulse low for one period low at the end of the count. f= clk/n duty cycle=(n-1)/n Gate should be high.

Mode 3:
Square wave generator. Like mode2 Half of the count, out is high and low in the other half.

 Mode 4:
The counter will generate a series of continuous pulses. Out will have one active low pulse when at the end of the count. out is high for (n+1)T and then one active low pulse Gate should be high.

Mode 5:
Like mode4 But hardware imitated by Gate. out is high for nT and then one active low pulse
