BASIC CONCEPTS IN PROGRAMMABLE I/O DEVICES  

Use Programmable Interfacing Device The Device includes:  Input and Output registers (group of latches to hold data)  Tri-state buffers  Capability for bidirectional data flow  Handshake and interrupt signals  Control Logic  Chip select logic  Interrupt control logic  Control, Status and Data registers

  

A programmable I/O device is programmed by writing a specific word, called Control Word. This device can be expanded to include elements such as multiple I/O ports, counters, and parallel-to-serial registers.

We can use the 74LS245 Transceiver as a programmable interfacing device. The device is enabled by G' (active low) The direction of data flow (Input or Output) determined by DIR control signal DIR = High, data flow from A to B. DIR = Low, data flow from B to A DIR is hardwired, so need an extra device to make it programmable, i.e. can be programmed by writing an instruction from the MPU

MPU writes into the control register the same way as any other I/O port - through port address From figure, A1-A7 used to select the chips, A0 is to differentiate between control register and transceiver A0 low, transceiver is enabled, when A0 high, control register is enabled MPU calls the transceiver by the address FEH, and calls the control register by the address FFH To set transceiver as output device, control register content is 01H, and to set it as input device, register content is 00H. Note that DI1-DI7 are the don’t care lines 6

We can also use a data register as a bidirectional programmable interfacing device and treat it as a normal I/O device with its own port address. But we still need to add a control register and a status register to make it fully functional and programmable with 8085.

A programmable interfacing device called the 8155 is multipurpose device that is designed to be compatible with 8085. No extra registers or other peripherals are needed for full operation i.e. can be connected directly to 8085. It has 256 bytes of R/W memory, three I/O ports and a timer.

Another devices are called 8279, 8255A, 8254 Interval Timer, 8259A Interrupt Controller, and the 8237 DMA

HANDSHAKE SIGNAL Since MPU and I/O devices operate at different speeds, signals are exchanged between the two for efficient and correct data transfer.  These signals are called Handshake Signals.  This signal is provided by programmable devices 

MPU has 2 ways of finding out if an I/O device is ready: -

HANDSHAKE SIGNAL HANDSHAKE SIGNAL FOR DATA INPUT

Data Input With Handshake Steps involved in data input from keyboard:  Peripheral (keyboard) informs the interfacing device by sending handshake signal STB (Strobe)  The device sends feedback - "Do not send the next byte until this one has been read". This is done by the device sending the handshake signal IBF (Input Buffer Full)  MPU checks the status until a byte is available via Pin for Status Check, and also wait if the interfacing device sends an interrupt signal indicating that it has a byte to be read.  MPU reads the byte by sending control signal (RD)' 11

HANDSHAKE SIGNAL HANDSHAKE SIGNAL FOR DATA OUTPUT

Data Output With Handshake For this operation, we use handshake signals that have different names but with the same function. The steps involved for output to a printer are as follows:  MPU writes a byte into the output port of the programmable interfacing device by sending the control signal (WR)'  Device will inform the peripheral (printer), by sending handshake signal OBF (Output Buffer Full) indicating a byte is on the way  The peripheral acknowledges the byte by sending ACK (acknowledge) signal to the programmable interfacing device  The interfacing device interrupts the MPU to ask for next byte, or MPU can find out that a byte has been 13 acknowledged (successfully transferred to printer) by checking the status check pin

HANDSHAKE SIGNAL Similarities in the handshake signals: 

ACK and STB are input signals to the interfacing device and performs similar function



OBF and IBF are output signals from the interfacing device and do the same job 14

GENERAL PURPOSE PPD

GENERAL-PURPOSE PROGRAMMABLE PERIPHERAL DEVICES

The 8255A and the 8254, two widely used generalpurpose programmable devices, can be compatible with any microprocessors.  The 8255A  The 8255A can be programmed to transfer data under various conditions, from simple I/O to interrupt I/O.  It can be used with virtually any MPU and it is flexible, versatile and economical, yet complex.  It has 24 I/O pins: Two 8-bit parallel ports (A and B) and the remaining pins as port C.  Eight pins (Bits) at port C can be grouped intwo 4-bit ports: CUPPER (CU) and CLOWER (CL). The functions of these ports are defined by writing a control word in the control register

The functions of 8255A depends on the D7 select bit. The functions are classified in two modes:  BSR (Bit Set/Reset) mode - used to reset the bits in port C  I/O mode I/O mode is divided to another three modes:  Mode 0 - All ports function as simple I/O ports  Mode 1 - Handshake mode, where ports A and/or B use bits from port C as handshake signals. Two types of I/O data transfer 'status check' and 'interrupt' can be implemented  Mode 2 - Port A can be set up for bidirectional data transfer using handshake signals from port C, and port B can be set up either in Mode 0 or Mode 1.
