Operation Modes of the 8255 PPI Modes 0 – Simple I/O Mode

Mode-0 operation causes the 82C55

to function as either a buffered input
device or as a latched output device

Modes 1 – Stropped Input Modes 1 – Stropped Input

Example:
Read data from a keyboard
Each time a key is pressed.

In this example:
-The handshaking pin IBF is not used
- Since programmed I/O is utilized, there is no interrupt and the
INTR is not used.

Modes 1 – Input Configuration Modes 1 – Stropped Output

When you read Port C in mode 1 or 2 operations, you are

actually reading the status register instead of the physical
Port C.

Modes 1 – Stropped Output Example: Printer Interface

In this example:
Port B is connected to a parallel
printer with 8 data inputs for
receiving ASCII-coded data
PC2 and PC4 pins are used as
handshake pins
The PC4 pin (DS) instead of the
OBF pin is used to notify the printer
to collect the data
Since programmed I/O is utilized,
there is no interrupt and the INTR pin
is not used

Mode-1: Output Configuration Mode-2: Bidirectional Operation

When you read Port C in mode 1 or 2 operations,

you are actually reading the status register instead
of the physical Port C.
