8085 Memory Interfacing

Generally P 8085 can address 64 kB of memory .

Generally EPROMS are used as program memory and
RAM as data memory.
We can interface Multiple RAMs and EPROMS to
single P .
Memory interfacing includes 3 steps :
1. Select the chip.
2. Identify register.
3. Enable appropriate buffer.
Example: Interface 2Kbytes of Memory to 8085 with
starting address 8000H.
Initially we realize that 2K memory requires 11 address lines
(2^11=2048). So we use A0-A10 .

 Address lines A0-A10 are used to interface memory while

A11,A12,A13,A14,A15 are given to 3:8 Decoder to
provide an output signal used to select the memory chip
CSor Chip select input.
MEMR and MEMWare given to RDand WRpins of
Memory chip.
Data lines D0-D7 are given to D0-D7 pins of the memory
chip.
In this way memory interfacing can be achieved.
The diagram of 2k interfacing is shown below

roup A and Group B
Control:
Group A control consists of Port A
and
Port C upper.
Group B control consists of Port A and Port C lower.
Each group is controlled through software.
They receive commands from the RD, WR pins to allow
access to bit pattern of 8085.
The bit pattern consists of :
1. Information about which group is operated.
2. Information about mode of Operation.
PORT A,B:These are bi-directional 8 bit ports each and are
used to interface 8255 with CPU or peripherals.

 Port A is controlled by Group A while Port B is controlled

by Group B Control.
PORT C: This is a bi-directional 8 bit port controlled
partially by Group A control and partially by Group B
control .
It is divided into two parts Port C upper and Port C lower
each of a nibble.
It is used mainly for control signals and interfacing with
peripherals.
8255 MODES
Mode 0 : Simple I/O
1. Any of A, B, CL and CH can be programmed as input
or output
Mode 1: I/O with Handshake
1. A and B can be used for I/O
2. C provides the handshake signals
Mode 2: Bi-directional with handshake
1. A is bi-directional with C providing handshake signals
2. B is simple I/O (mode-0) or handshake I/O (mode-1)
BSR (Bit Set Reset) Mode
1. Only C is available for bit mode access.
Allows single bit manipulation for control applications

Traffic Light Control

Statement: Design a microprocessor system to control traffic

lights. The traffic light arrangement is as shown in Fig. The
traffic should be controlled in the following manner.
1) Allow traffic from W to E and E to W transition for 20
seconds. 2) Give transition period of 5 seconds (Yellow bulbs
ON) 3) Allow traffic from N to 5 and 5 to N for 20 seconds 4)
Give transition period of 5 seconds (Yellow bulbs ON) 5)
Repeat the process.

Fig. shows the interfacing diagram to control 12 electric

bulbs.

Port A is used to control lights on N-S road and Port B is

used to control lights on W-E road. Actual pin connections
are listed in Table 1 below.

The electric bulbs are controlled by relays. The 8255 pins are
used to control relay on-off action with the help of relay
driver circuits. The driver circuit includes 12 transistors to
drive 12 relays. Fig. also shows the interfacing of 8255 to the
system.
