8255 microprocessor Programming and Operation

A high on the RESET pin causes every one of the 24 lines of the three 8-bit ports to be in the information mode. All flip-lemon are cleared and the counteracts are reset. This condition is kept up even after the RESET goes low. The ports of the 8255 can then be revamped for some other mode by sending out a solitary yield making a beeline for the control register. Additionally, the present system for operation can be changed by framing a solitary mode word onto the control register, when required.

Modes for Group A and Group B can be self-governing portrayed with Port C taking care of responsibilities as managed by the mode definitions or Ports An and B. In the event that Group A is altered for Mode 0, and Bunch B is revamped for Mode 1, Port An and PC4–PC7 can be changed for either enter or yield, while Port B can be balanced for information or yield with PC0–PC2 utilized for handshaking.

The mode definition blueprint and bit set-reset setup are examined in above core interests. The control words for both mode definition and Bit Set-Reset are stacked into the same control register, with bit D7 utilized for making sense of if the word stacked into the control register is a mode definition word or Bit Set-Reset word. In the event that D7 is high, the word is taken as a mode definition word, and in the event that it is low, it is taken as a Bit Set-Reset word. The most ideal bits are set of reset ward upon the sort of operation pined for, and stacked into the control register (which is gotten to when A1 and A0 both are '1'; W/R and CS both are '0'. It is to be seen that Group B does not have procurement for operation in Mode 2.

The eight conceivable mixes of the conditions of bits D1 - D3 (B2 B1 B0) in the Bit Set-Reset position (from this time forward inferred as BSR) pick the specific piece in PC0-PC7 being set or reset as demonstrated by the status of bit D0. A BSR word is to be made for every piece that is to be set or reset. For case, if bit PC2 is to be set and bit PC7 is to be reset, the most ideal BSR words that will must be stacked into the control register will be, 0XXX001 and 0XXX1110, only, where X can be either "0" or '1'.

The BSR, word can in like way be utilized for empowering or debilitating meddle with signs conveyed by Port C right when the 8255 is changed for Mode 1 or Mode 2 operation. This is finished by setting or resetting the related bits of the intrudes.
