the industry standard 8255A and is manufactured using a
self-aligned silicon gate CMOS process (Scaled SAJI IV). It
is a general purpose programmableI/Odevice which maybe
used with many different microprocessors. There are 24 I/O
pins which may be individually programmed in 2 groups of
12 and used in 3 major modes of operation. The high
performance and industry standard configuration of the

Data Bus Buffer

This three-state bi-directional 8-bit buffer is used to interface

tothesystemdatabus.Dataistransmittedor
received by the buffer upon execution of input or output
instructions by the CPU. Control words and status informa­tion are also transferred through the data bus buffer.

Read/Write and Control Logic

The function of this block is to manage all of the internal and
external transfers of both Data and Control or Status words.
It accepts inputs from the CPU Address and Control busses
and in turn, issues commands to both of the Control Groups.

write data or control words into the

(A0 and A1) Port Select 0 and Port Select 1. These input
signals, in conjunction with the RD and WR inputs, control
the selection of one of the three ports or the control word
register. They are normally connected to the least significant
bits of the address bus (A0 and A1).

Operational Description

Mode Selection

There are three basic modes of operation than can be
selected by the system software:

Mode 0 - Basic Input/Output
Mode 1 - Strobed Input/Output
Mode 2 - Bi-directional Bus

When the reset input goes “high”, all ports will be set to the
input mode with all 24 port lines held at a logic “one” level by
internal bus hold devices. After the reset is removed, the

The modes for Port A and Port B can be separately defined,

WS82C55A

When WS82C55A

while Port C is divided into two portions as required by the
Port A and Port B definitions. All of the output registers,
including the status flip-flops, will be reset whenever the
mode is changed. Modes may be combined so that their
functional definition can be “tailored” to almost any I/O
structure. For instance: Group B can be programmed in
Mode 0 to monitor simple switch closings or display compu­tational results, Group A could be programmed in Mode 1 to
monitor a keyboard or tape reader on an interrupt-driven
basis.

This function allows the programmer to enable or disable a
CPU interrupt by a specific I/O device without affecting any
other device in the interrupt structure.

INTE Flip-Flop Definition

(BIT-SET)-INTE is SET - Interrupt Enable
(BIT-RESET)-INTE is Reset - Interrupt Disable

NOTE: All Mask flip-flops are automatically reset during mode se­lection and device Reset.

The mode definitions and possible mode combinations may
seem confusing at first, but after a cursory review of the
complete device operation a simple, logical I/O approach will
surface. The design of the 82C55A has taken into account
things such as efficient PC board layout, control signal defi­nition vs. PC layout and complete functional flexibility to sup­port almost any peripheral device with no external logic.
Such design represents the maximum use of the available
pins.

Single Bit Set/Reset Feature (Figure 5)

Any of the eight bits of Port C can be Set or Reset using a
single Output instruction. This feature reduces software
requirements in control-based applications.

When Port C is being used as status/control for Port A or B,
these bits can be set or reset by using the Bit Set/Reset
operation just as if they were output ports.

Interrupt Control Functions

mode 2, control signals are provided that can be used as
interrupt request inputs to the CPU. The interrupt request
signals, generated from port C, can be inhibited or enabled
by setting or resetting the associated INTE flip-flop, using the
bit set/reset function of port C.

Operating Modes

Mode 0 (Basic Input/Output). This functional configuration

provides simple input and output operations for each of the
three ports. No handshaking is required, data is simply writ­ten to or read from a specific port.

Mode 0 Basic Functional Definitions:

• Two 8-bit ports and two 4-bit ports

• Any Port can be input or output

• Outputs are latched

• Input are not latched

• 16 different Input/Output configurations possible

Operating Modes

Mode 1 - (Strobed Input/Output). This functional configura-

tion provides a means for transferring I/O data to or from a
specified port in conjunction with strobes or “hand shaking”
signals. In mode 1, port A and port B use the lines on port C
to generate or accept these “hand shaking” signals.

Mode 1 Basic Function Definitions:

• Two Groups (Group A and Group B)

• Each group contains one 8-bit port and one 4-bit

control/data port

• The 8-bit data port can be either input or output. Both

inputs and outputs are latched.

• The 4-bit port is used for control and status of the 8-bit

port.
