TK2633 Introduction to Parallel Data Interfacing DR MASRI AYOB

2 MPU interface to external devices through both parallel and serial interfaces. Parallel data occur in system that use: Displays Keyboard Printers (old printer) Etc. Serial data occurs in: Some printers Data communications Introduction

can be programmed for data transfer in multipurpose mode, either as i/o or interrupt. It has 24 I/O pins, that can be divided into two groups of 8-bit parallel ports: Port A and Port B, and the rest belong to Port C. Port C can be used as an individual bit or group of 4-bit: C UPPER (C U ) C LOWER (C L ) Figure 1 shows 3 kind of port groups in PIA (Peripheral Interface Adapter)

8 Control Logic. RD (Read): This control signal is to enable read operation. When the signal is low activated, the MPU will read the data from certain I/O ports. WR (Write): This signal enable the write operation. When this signal is at logic low, the MPU will write to I/O ports or control registers. RESET (Reset): An active high signal. Use to clear the control register and sets all ports to input mode. Is connected to the RESET OUT pin of MPU. CS, A 0 and A 1 : Signals to select device. CS is connected to a decoded address, whereas A 0 and A 1 are connected to MPU address PIA

9 Control Logic. CS signal is a Master Chip Select, whereas A 0 and A 1 determine the input/output ports or control registers as tabulated in Table 1. CSA1A1 A0A0 Selection 000 port A 001 port B 010 port C 011 Control Register 1XX 8255 is disabled Table 1: The function of CS, A 0 and A 1

A PIA: Example Figure 4

11 Example: The port address as shown in Figure 4 is determined by CS, A 0 and A 1 pins. CS is active low when A 7 = 1 and A 6 to A 2 are at logic 0. When the signal is combined with A 0 and A 1, the port address is 80H to 83H as shown in Figure PIA

PIA Example: Figure 5

13 Control Word: Figure 6 shows the function of control register, the content in this register is known as Control Word which determines input/output ports. This register is used to write control word when A 0 and A 1 are at logic 1. Bit D 7 in control register determines the I/O function or Set/Reset. If bit D 7 = 1, bits D 6 - D 0 determine the function of I/O in multiple modes as shown in Figure 6. Suppose bit D 7 = 0, the port C operates in Bit Set/Reset (BSR) mode. The BSR control word doest not cause any effect to port A and port B. The port C command register sets (1) or resets (0) the port C pins during mode 1 or mode 2 operation PIA

14 Three main concept to communicate to 8255: Determine the port address of A, B and C using CS, A 1 and A 0. Write control word in control register. Write I/O instructions to communicate with ports PIA

15 Functions of Control Word. Figure 6:

16 Figure 8 shows the function of 8255, categorized in two mode: Set/Reset Bit (BSR) mode I/O mode. The BSR mode is used to set or reset bit at port C. Whereas the I/O is divided into 3 groups: Mode 0, Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 0, all ports function as input or output (I/O function). Mode 1, is handshake mod, where port A and/or port B used port C as handshake bit. Mode 2, port A can be used as bi-directional data transfer port with port C as handshake port and port B will be in mode 1 or mode Programmable Peripheral Interface

PIA Figure 8

18 Mode 0: Input / Output Mode In this mode port A and B use 8-bit I/O data and port C uses two ports 4-bit data. The characteristics of mode 0 are: Output is latched. Input does not latched. Ports do not have the capability of handshake mode or interrupt mode. 8255A Programmable Peripheral Interface

19 Mode 0: Input / Output Mode Example : Determine the port address of circuit in Figure 9. Determine the control word in Mode 0, in order to determine ports A and C U as output port and ports B and C L as input ports. Write a program to read DIP switch and display the reading from port B to port A, from port C L to port C U PIA : Mode 0

20 Example : Figure 9:

PIA: Example Solutions: Port Address : It is actually an I/O memory map. When A 15 is active high, Chip Select signal is activated. Assuming all don’t care signals are at logic 0, therefore ports’ address are as follows:

A Programmable Peripheral Interface Solution: Control Word:

PIA Solution: ???

24 BSR (Bit Set/Reset) mode. The BSR mode will only affect to port C. Set/Reset can be determined by entering certain control word to control register. No change to the previous data when D 7 change from 1 to 0; therefore the I/O ports A and B unchanged. In BSR mode, the individual bit also can be used as ‘on / off’ switch PIA

A Programmable Peripheral Interface BSR Control Word. The written control word in control register, set/reset will take only one bit at a time, as follows:

PIA: BSR Mode Example: Write a BSR control word subroutine to set bit PC 7 and PC 3, and reset after 10ms. Use the schematic diagram as shown below.

A Programmable Peripheral Interface Solution: BSR Control Word: Port Address: As shown in previous example : 83H

A Programmable Peripheral Interface Solution: Subroutine: Assuming that the delay subroutine has been determined earlier.
