Programming 8155
8155 is a Programmable Peripheral Interface

8085 can send data to 8155 using data bus

This data can be

For I/O devices connected to 8155 Timer registers of 8155 Instruction/Command word for 8155

Commands for 8155 are stored in a 8-bit

Control Register inside 8155

What type of Commands can be given to 8155?

To configure the I/O ports as Input or Output

To start/stop timer etc.

To use handshake mode or not

Application Programming Logic

1. Configure 8155

2. 8085 sends SOC command to ADC

3. 8085 communicates with ADC using

PortC in handshake mode 4. 8085 reads 8-bit temperature value from port A 5. 8085 displays the temperature value on the LED display

 ADC resets EOC to LOW at end of

conversion 8155 sets BF to 1 to enable ADC output latch 8085 is waiting for BF to be SET to 1 and

Reads port A by making RD signal active (0)

At the end of read cycle RD goes HIGH (1) This resets BF signal to 0.

8085 waits for BF signal to be RESET and

starts conversion process again

8085 is waiting for BF

To know the status of BF signal 8085 reads

status register of 8155
