Introduction The I/O (Input/Output) interface permits the
microprocessor to communicate with the outside world, eg to control an external device
How can you connect a keyboard, or a mouse, to a 8086 or P6 microprocessor?
The 8086 microprocessor can only access external components (including memory devices) via the address and data buses
4
Concept of I/O
The mechanism is similar to the memory interface because the CPU is using the same set of buses – data and address
Data transfer still takes place over the multiplexed address/data bus
5
I/O and Memory interface
6
Minimum-mode interface To connect to external I/O devices, usually some
interface circuits are required Interface circuitry is used to bridge the
microprocessor and the I/O (Input/Output) devices Functions of the interface – select the I/O port
(decoding), latch output data, adjust the signal levels etc
Only address/data lines from 0-15 are used for interfacing with external I/O devices
7
Block diagram for IO system
The controlsignals are sameas thoseused in memoryoperations
8
I/O address space The interface between the CPU and an external device is
called an I/O Port (just like the Ports in 89C51, or ADuC832) but there is NO physical I/O port provided by the 8086
I/O ports is similar to address locations. When an I/O device is connected to a CPU the device will
occupy an I/O port An I/O port is similar to an address in memory (i.e each
Port has an unique number)Each port can support 8-bit data If an external device requires 16-bit data then it will
occupy two ports
9
I/O Ports
I/O Port addresses (16-bit) (or Port numbers ) are generated by the microprocessor via the ADn lines and after proper decoding, correct I/O port can be selected
AD16 to AD19 are held at 0 for I/O operations
M/IO signal is set to 0 to indicate I/O operations (this is the only different between read/write of an I/O and memory)
10
I/O ports for a PC 03FF – 03F8 COM1
02FF – 02F8 COM2
03DF – 03D0 CGA adapter
037F – 0378 LPT1

0063 - 0060 8255 (PPI)
0043 – 0040 Timer
0023 – 0020 Interrupt controller
000F - 0000 DMA controller
11
I/O instructions How to read/write to/from I/O devices? In 8086, IN and OUT are I/O instructions IN - input from port into AL or AX OUT - Output from AL or AX to port IN AL, FF (move a byte in from port FF) OUT FF, AL (move a byte out from AL) IN and OUT are called direct instruction to access
I/O ports Using IN, or OUT the max. port no. is 255 (FF)
12
I/O instructions Can also use indirect with DX holding the
port address IN AL, DX OUT DX, AL Indirect addressing can access 64K ports
(WHY?)
13
ExampleData are to be read in from two byte-wide input ports at addressAA and A9, respectively, and then output as a word to a word-wideOutput port at address B000. Write a sequence of instructions to Perform this I/O operation
IN AL, AA ; move data in from port address AAMOV AH,AL ; move data from AL to AHIN AL,A9 ; move data from port address A9MOV DX, B000 ; move port address B000 to DX OUT DX, AX ; can I do OUT B000, AX instead ??????

I/O bus cycles READ Cycle – same as for memory operation M/IO – set to 0 to identify I/O operation /DEN – switch to 0 to signal the I/O interface
circuitry when to put data onto the bus. DEN – Device ENable
Write cycle – data available in the bus in T2 and maintained during the rest of the bus cycle
/WR – switches to logic 0 to signal that valid data are on the bus

8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI)
It is an LSI peripheral designed to permit easy implementation of parallel I/O in the PC systems. It provides a flexible parallel interface, such as input and output ports; level-sensitive inputs; latched outputs; strobed inputs or outputs; and strobed bidirectional input/outputs. These features are selected under software control. 8255 can interface any TTL-compatible I/O device to the microprocessor.
8255 is used to interface keyboard and parallel printer port

8255 PPI It consists of 3 ports Each port is 8-bit Address A0 and A1 (these are input of 8255 not
8086) are used to select the port to read/write Data are transferred through a 8-bit bidirectional
data bus Chip select (/CS) of the 8255 must be enabled

8255 PPI
An 8255 PPI will occupy at least 4 I/O addresses
The A1A0 of the 8255 usually connected to address lines of the CPU. Therefore, changing the 0, 1 of the lines can provide different port numbers

30
Control of the 8255 Before you can make use of the 8255, you
must configure (or program) the device The control of the 8255 is via the
programming of the internal control register The register is represented by (or divided
into) group A and group B control blocks Input/Output operations are controlled by
different bit-patterns
31
8255 PPI
To program the 8255, A1A0 = 11 and a write cycle is initialized so that the proper bit pattern is written to the control register
After the configuration then the PORTs A, B, C can be used accordingly
32

Control Bits D0 – set input/output for lower 4-bit of Port C (1
for input; 0 for output ) D1 – set input/output for 8-bit of Port B D2 – mode selection (0 – mode 0; 1 – mode 1) D3 – same as D0 but for upper 4-bit D4 – same as D1 but for Port A D5 & D6 – mode selection (00 – mode 0, 01 –
mode 1, 1X – mode 2) D7 – mode set flag ( 1- active)
34
Mode Selection Mode set flag is the D7 bit in the control, it must
be at logic 1 whenever the mode operation is to be changed. There are three modes of operation which are known as mode 0, mode 1, and mode 2 respectively.
We will only discuss Mode 0 and Mode 1!!!! But you should study Mode 2 by yourself!!!!!!!
35
Example
If control register is at Port 20HHow to configure the 8255 in Port A Mode 0
input and Port B and C mode 0 output ?
Identify the control pattern 10010000 (90H)Move this to the port MOV AL, 90HOUT 20H, AL
36
Mode 0 – simple I/O Mode 0 selects what is called simple I/O
operation, i.e., the lines of the port can be configured as level-sensitive inputs or latched output.
Output ports are latched. Input ports are not latched????
Output ports are latched – data remain in the output port until you perform another output operation
This is very similar to the Ports provided by the ADuC832 (the microprocessor used in the lab.)
37
ExampleWhat is the mode and I/O configuration for ports A, B, and Cof an 8255A after its control register is loaded with 82Hex
The binary pattern is 10000010 (82H) refer to the table of control wordD0 = 0 lower 4 bits of Port C are outputsD1 = 1 Port B are inputsD2 = 0 mode 0 operation for both Port B and the lower 4 bits ofPort CD3 = 0 upper 4 bits of Port C are outputsD4 = 0 Port A are outputsD6D5 = 00 mode 0 operation for both Port A and the upper partOf Port CD7 =1 mode enable
38
Exercise
If port A is F0H, Port C is F4H First configure PortA mode 0 output and
PortB mode 0 input Then use a loop to send 10 character via
port A and read 0 byte from port B
39
What are the disadvantages of the previous exercise?
40
Mode 1 – Strobed I/O Mode 1 represents what is known as strobed I/O.
In this mode, the A and B ports are configured as two independent byte-wide I/O ports, each of which has a 4-bit control/data port associated with it. The control/data ports are formed from the lower and upper 4-bit of port C respectively.
Both input and output are latched Data applied to an input port must be strobed-in
with a signal produced by an external hardware
41
Mode 1 –Strobe I/O In computing, the term handshake usually
refers to steps that need to follow in order to complete a task
Handshake signal is provided for a port when in mode 1
Handshake represents the available of data, or when an external device has read these data
42
An analogy of 8255 in Mode 18255 DeviceCPU
The above diagram shows the relationship between CPU, 8255 and external device8255 is only the middle-man, so after receiving “data”, 8255 must info the CPU to read the dataBut since the internal buffer of the 8255 can only store 1 byte of data, therefore, 8255 also signal external device not to write again when data is already inside the bufferThe handshake signal is used for such purposes.
43
ExampleIf the control register is loaded with 10111XXX. What is the Configuration for the 8255?Port A is in mode 1 input portUpper 4-bit of Port C is reconfigured to provide the Port AControl/data linesPC4 – strobe input (/STBA) (to strobe data in Port A into the latch) (1 -> 0)PC5 – input buffer full when 1 (IBFA) (output to signal external device)PC3 – interrupt request (INTRA) (used when action should be performed by the microprocessor ) (output)PC6,7 – I/O PCx – PC (Port C bit x )
44
Mode 1 operation Input Data come fromexternal device
STBA – issued byexternal deviceto latch data into 8255 buffer
8255 issues INTRA IBFA to signal CPU to read data
INTE A – interruptenable if this bit is setthen the INTRA will be issued
45
Strobe inputStrobed input (mode 1) causes port A and/or port B to function as latching input devices. External data is stored in the port until the microprocessor is ready to retrieve it by issuing a /RD signal.Strobed input port captures data from the port when the /STBis activated. The /STB signal (1->0) causes data to be captured and it activatesthe IBF (Input Buffer Full) and INTR (Interrupt Request). IBF (a ‘1’) indicates that data are in port A.
Once the microprocessor notices that data are strobed into the port, it executes an IN instruction to read the port.
46
Strobe Input The act of reading the port restores both
IBF and INTR IBF – reset by the rising edge of /RD input INTR – reset by a falling edge of /RD
47
Mode 1 Strobe Input Operation sequence
External device put data into the port Issue the strobe signal to latch data into the port 8255 issue signal IBF and INTR to the
microprocessor to indicate data is available Microprocessor read data and issue signal /RD After data has been read, IBF and INTR are
reset Ready to get another input data
48
Mode 1 – Input for PortA
The above will show the purpose of the INTE (interrupt enable)If you want INTR to be active, what should you put in INTE?
49
Mode 1 Input timing diagram
50
Strobed output
Data are written to a port /OBF – output buffer full /OBF becomes a logic 0 to indicate data are
present (1->0) External device removes the data by
strobing (1->0) the /ACK input to the port The /ACK returns the /OBF to logic 1 this
will clear the INTR as well
51
Mode 1 Output
52
ExampleWhen control register is 1010XXXX then Port A is set to outputPC7 – output buffer full (/OBF) (output)When this is active (low) implying data are available at the port Outputs. Data are written by the microprocessorPC6 – acknowledge (/ACK) (input)This is input by external device after reading the data at the portThis signal also reset the /OBF with its low going edgePC3 – interrupt (output) (INTR)Interrupt will be generated when data is read and external device acknowledge so signal the microprocessor to send other dataINTR is reset when /ACK, /OBF, and INTE are ‘1’

Points to consider When using in Mode 1 output mode
CPU should monitor which bit? External device should monitor which bit?
When using in Mode 1 input mode CPU should monitor which bit? External device should monitor which bit?

57
Mode 2 Mode 2 – strobed bidirectional I/O The port can be either inputs or outputs, depends on
the /WR and /RD signals Only Port A can be used for this mode Control register is 11XXXXXX Inputs and outputs are both latched PC3-PC7 are used for generating/accepting
handshake signals PC2-PC0 can still be used for I/O
58
Mode 2 Bi-directional
59
Mode 2
PC7 – output buffer full (output) (low = buffer full) CPU has written data to port A
PC6 – acknowledge (input) (low) acknowledges that the previous data byte is received by the destination and the next byte may be sent by the processor
PC4 – strobe (input) to strobe in the data into the input latches PC5 – input buffer full (output) (high = buffer full) used as an
acknowledge that the data has been received by the receiver PC3 – interrupt (output) (active high) PC2-0 – general purpose I/O pins and controlled by the bit set
and reset command
60
Bi-direction operation
First test the /OBF (output buffer full) signal to test if output buffer is empty
Buffer is empty then sent data to output buffer (using OUT instruction)
External device monitors the /OBF signal to decide whether data is available
If /OBF is 0 then sends /ACK to remove the data
61
Example

Bi-directional operation
To read data, test IBF (Input Buffer full) If IBF=1, data are input using the IN
instruction External device sends data using /STB IBF is clear when microprocessor doing the

Bit Set/Reset Feature
This feature allows the individual bits of Port C to be set or reset. To do this, the D7 bit in the control register must be set to 0. The relationship between the set/reset control word and input/output lines is illustrated in the followed figure.
66
Control Word Set/Reset Bit Format
67
Example
If control register is 00001111 Then the logic level to be set is ‘1’ represented by
D0 The bit to be set is 111 represented by D3D2D1
(i.e 7 in this case ) So after the control word is written PC7 is set to 1 Why want to set the bits of Port C? In Mode 1, the bits of Port C not used for control
can only be written by the set/reset feature

Modes of

69
What control word must be written in the control register of the 82C55A such thatport A is configured for bidirectional operation and port B is set up with mode 1outputs?
Solution
To configure the operating mode of the ports of the 82C55A, D7 must be 1:
D7 = 1
Port A is set up for bidirectional operation by making D6 logic 1. In this case, D5
through D3 are don't-care states.
D6 = 1 D5D4D3 = XXX
8255 Example 2
70
Mode 1 is selected for port B by logic 1 in bit D2 and output operation by logic 0 in D1. Since mode 1 operation has been selected, Do is a don't-care state. D2 = 1 D1 = 0 DO = X This gives the control word D7D6D5D4D3D2D1D0 = 11XXX1OX2 Assuming logic 0 for the don't-care states, we get D7D6D5D4D3D2D1DO = 110001002 = C416

72
Loading 8255A Control Register Write the sequence of instructions needed to load the control register of an 82C55A with the control word C4H. Assume that the 82C55A resides at address 0F16 of the I/O address space Solution First we must load AL with C416. This is the value of the control word that is to be written to the control register at address 0F16. The move instruction used to load AL is
MOV AL,C4H These data are output to the control register with the OUT instruction
OUT 0FH,AL In this case we have used direct I/O. This is because the I/O address of the control register is less than FF16.

77
Parallel I/O ports
Two groups of 8 8255 devices are connected to the data bus
Each group has own 8205 address decoder (or multiplexer)
One group is for odd-port-address, while the other group for even-port-address
A2A1 – select the port (A, B, or C) A5A4A3 – select the 8255 device ( total of 8)
78
ExampleRefer to the diagram for the Parallel I/O setup,What must be the address inputs of the even-addressed Group of 8255 if Port C of PPI 14 is to be addressed?To enable PPI 14, the lower 8205 must be enabled for operationAnd its 07 output switched to logic 0 (active low). This requires enableInput A0 = 0 and chip select code A5A4A3 = 111A0 = 0 to enable 8205 (the even address)A5A4A3 = 111 select PPI 14
Port C of PPI 14 is selected with A1A0 = 10A2A1 = 10 access Port CThe rest of the address bits are don’t care statesSo the final pattern A19-A6 don’t cares then 111100 = 0003C

8255 Direct I/O Example 1
What must be the address bus inputs of the circuit in the 8255 direct I/O connection figure if port C of PPI 12 is to be accessed?
To enable PPI 12, the group 2 74F138 must be enabled for operation and its O3 output switched to logic 0. This requires enable input G2B0 = 0 and chip-select code CBA = 011. This in turn requires from the bus that BE2 = 0 Enables 74F138 for group 2 A6A5A4 = 011 Selects PPI 12 Port C of PPI 14 is selected with A1A0 = 10, which from the bus requires that A3A2 = 10 Accesses port C The rest of the address bits are don't-care states.
82
8255 Direct I/O Port Example 2Assume that in the circuit of direct I/O connection, PPI 12 is configured such that port A is an output port, ports B and C are both input ports, and all three ports are set up for mode 0 operation. Write a program that will input the data at ports B and C, find the difference C - B, and output this difference to port A.
From the circuit diagram in the direct I/O figure, we find that the addresses of the three I/O ports of PPI 12 are port A = 0110010 = 32H port B= 0110110= 36H port C= 0111010= 3AH The data at ports B and C can be input with the instruction sequence IN AL,36H ;Read port B MOV BL,AL ;Save data from port B IN AL,3AH ;Read port C Now the data from port B are subtracted from the data at port C with the instruction SUB AL,BL ;Subtract B from C
83
8255 Direct I/O Example 2 (Cont’d)Finally, the difference is output to port A with the instruction OUT 32H,AL ;Write to port A
Notice in the direct I/O connection figure that not all address bits are used in the I/O address decoding. Here only latched address bits A4, A5, and A6 are decoded. Unused address bits are don't-care states.
XXXXXXXXXA6A5A4A3A2 For this reason, many addresses decode to select each of the 1/0 ports. For instance, if all of the don't-care address bits are made 0, the address of the 82C55A labeled 0 is A15 ... A4 = 0000000000002 /BE3/BE2/BE1/BE0 = 11102 and the code at bits A3A2 selects port A, B, or C. However, if the don't-care address bits are all made equal to 1 instead of 0, the address is A15 ... A4 = 1111111110002 /BE3/BE2/BE1/BE0 = 11102 and it still decodes to enable 82C55A number 0. In fact, every I/O address that has A6A5A4 = 0002 and /BE0 = 0 decodes to enable this 82C55A device.
