 PPI 8255
PPI – Programmable Peripheral Interface
It is an I/O port chip used for interfacing I/O
devices with microprocessor
Very commonly used peripheral chip

2
 PPI 8255
Features:
 It is a programmable device.

 It has 24 I/O programmable pins like PA,PB,PC (3-8 pins).

 T T L compatible.

 Improved dc driving capability

 It has three separately accessible ports.

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.

PA0-PA7:It is the 8-bit bi-directional I/O pins used
to send the data to peripheral 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.
PC0 to PC3(Lower Groups)
PC4 to PC7 (Higher groups)

These two groups working in separately using 4

data’s.

What is the addresses of port A, port B, port C
of the 82C55A device?

To access port A, A1A0 = 00, A15 = A14 = 1, A13 =

A12 = … = A2 = 0, which gives the port A
address as
1100 0000 0000 00002 = C00016
Similarly, it can be determined that the address
of port B equals C00116, that of port C is C00216,
and the address of the control register is
C00316.

 Modes o f 8255 PPI
Mode 0: Simple Input or Output
.
1. Outputs are latched.

2. Inputs are not latched.

3. Ports don’t have handshake or interrupt capability.

13
 Modes o f 8255 PPI
Mode 1: Input or Output with Handshake

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.Input and Output data are latched.

3. Interrupt logic is supported.

Mode 2: Bidirectional Data Transfer

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.
