 Introduction to Microprocessors
• Definition:

Microprocessor is the controlling unit or CPU of a

micro-computer, fabricated on a very small chip
capable of performing arithmetic and logical
operations and communicating with the external
devices connected to it.

2
 A Computer
• A computer:
– Accepts the data from the user.
– Stores the data and the set of instructions
supplied by the user in memory.
– Processes the data according to the instructions in
the processing unit.
– Communicates the result to the user or stores it
for further reference.

3
 A Computer
• A computer has the following
units:
– Input Unit
– Output Unit
– Memory Unit
– Central Processing Unit

4
 A Computer
• ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC UNIT (ALU)
– This unit perform all the logical and arithmetic operations.
– Various arithmetic operations are: addition, subtraction, increment and
decrement etc.
– Various logical operations are: AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc.
• TIMING AND CONTROL UNIT
– This unit controls the entire operations being performed by the system.
– It controls the operations of ALU, input/output devices and memory
unit.
– This unit interprets the instructions and generates various timing and
control signals.
• REGISTERS
– A register is a very small amount of very fast memory that is built into
the CPU in order to store the current data and instructions which are
being executed by the CPU.
5
 A Computer
• MEMORY UNIT
– It stores the program statement and the data i.e. the
information supplied from the input unit.
– It also stores the final output.
– This is connected to the CPU by means of a
bidirectional bus.
– The CPU processes the information as taken from the
memory and performs the operations in the ALU
section.
– The results are either transferred to the output unit
or stored in the memory for later use by the CPU.
6
 A Micro-Computer
• As the name implies, microcomputers are
small computers.
• The block diagram of the microcomputer is
similar to the computer except that the
central processing unit of the microcomputer
is contained in a single IC called the
microprocessor.

7
 A Micro-Computer
• A microprocessor is a LSI (Large Scale Integration) IC
that does almost all the functions of the CPU.
• It is also defined as a CPU contained in a single chip.
• The basic function of the microprocessor is:
– to fetch the instructions stored in the main memory
– identify the operations and the devices involved in it
– and accordingly generate control signals to determine
when a given action is to take place.
• We can say that a computer with a microprocessor as
its CPU, is known as Microcomputer.
8
 Some Definitions
• Microprocessor:
– The central processing unit built on a single IC is
called Microprocessor.
– A microprocessor (sometimes abbreviated as µP)
is a digital electronic component with miniaturized
transistors on a single semiconductor integrated
circuit (IC).
– One or more microprocessors typically serve as a
central processing unit (CPU) in a computer
system or handheld device.

 Microprocessor Characteristics
• Instruction Set:
– The set of instructions that a microprocessor can
understand.

• Bandwidth:
– The number of bits processed in a single instruction.

• Capability:
– It depends upon the number of instructions and
capability of each instruction.
11
 Microprocessor Characteristics
• Clock Speed:
– The clock speed determines how many operations per second the
processor can perform.
– It is also called Clock Rate.
– Every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate at
which instructions are executed and synchronizes the various
computer components.
– The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per
second.
– Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz).
– The microprocessors of personal computers have clock speeds of
anywhere from 300 MHz to over 3.8 GHz.

12
 Microprocessor Characteristics
• Word Length:
– It depends upon the width of internal data bus,
registers, ALU etc.
– An 8-bit microprocessor can process 8 bit data at a
time.
– A processor with longer word length is more
powerful and can process data at a faster speed as
compared to processor with shorter word length.
– The word length ranges from 4 bits for small
microprocessor, to 64 bits for high-end
microcomputers.
13
 Microprocessor Characteristics
• Width of Data Bus:
– This is the size of the data bus. It defines the number of bits that can
be transferred through data bus.

• Width of Address Bus:

– This parameter decides the memory addressing capability of the
microprocessor. The maximum size of the memory unit is decided by
this parameter.

• Input/Output Addressing Capability:

– The maximum number of the input/output ports accessed by the
microprocessor depends upon the width of the input/output address
provided in the input/output instruction.
14
 Microprocessor Characteristics
• Data Types:
– The microprocessor handles various types of data formats
like binary, BCD, ASCII, signed and unsigned numbers.

• Interrupt Capability:
– Interrupts are used to handle unpredictable and random
events in the microcomputer.
– It is used to interrupt the microprocessor.
– Interrupt driven input/output improves the throughput of
a system.

15
 Features of Microprocessor
• Cost:
– The most important feature of a microcomputer is its low cost.
– Because of the widespread use of microprocessors, the volume of
production is very high.
– That is why, microprocessor chips are available at fairly low prices.

• Size:
– The second important feature of a microprocessor is its small size.
– As a result of improvement in fabrication technology, VLSI,
electronic circuitry has become so dense that a minute silicon
chip can contain hundred and thousands of transistors.

16
 Features of Microprocessor
• Power Consumption:
– Another important feature is its low power consumption.
– Microprocessors are normally manufactured by Metal-Oxide
semiconductor technology, which has the feature of low power
consumption.
• Versatility:
– The microprocessors are versatile.
– Keeping the same basic hardware, a microprocessor-based system can
be configured for a number of applications by simply altering the
software program.
• Reliability:
– Another important property of microprocessors is its extreme reliability.
– It has been established that the failure rate of an IC is fairly uniform at
the package level, regardless of its complexity.

17
 Micron
• A unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter.
• It is denoted by µ (Mu).
• For Example:
– If we pluck a hair from the head, it is very thin.
– But a hair is more than 2000 times wider than a transistor
on a microprocessor.
– Wires between transistors are even thinner.
– They're more than 4000 times thinner than a hair.
– A hair is about 100 microns in diameter.
– That means, a transistor is just 0.045 microns wide.
18
SYSTEM BUS
 System Bus
The CPU sends various data values, instructions
and information to all the devices and
components inside the computer.
If you look at the bottom of a motherboard
you'll see a whole network of lines or electronic
pathways that join the different components
together.
This network of wires or electronic pathways is
called the 'Bus'.

 Data Bus
A collection of wires through which data is
transmitted from one part of a computer to
another is called Data Bus.
Data Bus can be thought of as a highway on
which data travels within a computer.
This bus connects all the computer
components to the CPU and main memory.

Navjot Rathour
 Data Bus
The size (width) of bus determines how much
data can be transmitted at one time.
E.g.:
A 16-bit bus can transmit 16 bits of data at a time.
32-bit bus can transmit 32 bits at a time.

Navjot Rathour
 Address Bus
A collection of wires used to identify
particular location in main memory is called
Address Bus.
Or in other words, the information used to
describe the memory locations travels along
the address bus.

Navjot Rathour
 Address Bus
The size of address bus determines how many
unique memory locations can be addressed.
E.g.:
A system with 4-bit address bus can address 24 = 16
Bytes of memory.
A system with 16-bit address bus can address 216 =
64 KB of memory.
A system with 20-bit address bus can address 220 = 1
MB of memory.
Navjot Rathour
 Control Bus
The connections that carry control information
between the CPU and other devices within the
computer is called Control Bus.
The control bus carries signals that report the
status of various devices.
E.g.:
This bus is used to indicate whether the CPU is
reading from memory or writing to memory.

ADDRESSING MODES OF
8085
 Addressing Modes of 8085
• To perform any operation, we have to give the
corresponding instructions to the
microprocessor.
• In each instruction, programmer has to specify
3 things:
– Operation to be performed.
– Address of source of data.
– Address of destination of result.
Gursharan Singh
Maninder Kaur
108
 Addressing Modes of 8085
The method by which the address of source
of data or the address of destination of result
is given in the instruction is called Addressing

Digital-to-Analog
Analog-to-Digital
 Data Handling Systems
• Both data about the physical world and control
signals sent to interact with the physical world are
typically "analog" or continuously varying quantities.
• In order to use the power of digital electronics, one
must convert from analog to digital form on the
experimental measurement end and convert from
digital to analog form on the control or output end of
a laboratory system.
Data Collection and Control
Digital-to-Analog Conversion
[DAC]
 Digital-to-Analog Conversion
• When data is in binary form, the 0's and 1's
may be of several forms such as the TTL form
where the logic zero may be a value up to 0.8
volts and the 1 may be a voltage from 2 to 5
volts.
• The data can be converted to clean digital
form using gates which are designed to be on
or off depending on the value of the incoming
signal.
 Digital-to-Analog Conversion
• Data in clean binary digital form can be
converted to an analog form by using a
summing amplifier.
• For example, a simple 4-bit D/A converter can
be made with a four-input summing amplifier.
 Digital-to-Analog Conversion

• 2 Basic Approaches

– Weighted Summing Amplifier

– R-2R Network Approach
 Weighted Sum DAC
• One way to achieve D/A conversion is to use a
summing amplifier.
• This approach is not satisfactory for a large
number of bits because it requires too much
precision in the summing resistors.
• This problem is overcome in the R-2R network
DAC.
Weighted Sum DAC
R-2R Ladder DAC
R-2R Ladder DAC
 R-2R Ladder DAC

• The summing amplifier with the R-2R ladder of

resistances shown produces the output where the
D's take the value 0 or 1.
• The digital inputs could be TTL voltages which close
the switches on a logical 1 and leave it grounded for
a logical 0.
• This is illustrated for 4 bits, but can be extended to
any number with just the resistance values R and
2R.
 DAC0830/DAC0832
8-Bit µP Compatible DAC
• An advanced CMOS/Si-Cr 8-bit multiplying DAC designed to
interface directly with the 8080, 8048, 8085, Z80®, and other
popular microprocessors.
• A deposited silicon-chromium R-2R resistor ladder network
divides the reference current and provides the circuit with
excellent temperature tracking characteristics (0.05% of Full
Scale Range maximum linearity error over temperature).
Typical Application
Analog to Digital Conversion
[ADC]
 ADC Basic Principle
• The basic principle of operation is to use the
comparator principle to determine whether or
not to turn on a particular bit of the binary
number output.
• It is typical for an ADC to use a digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) to determine one of
the inputs to the comparator.
 ADC Various Approaches
• 3 Basic Types

• Digital-Ramp ADC
• Successive Approximation ADC
• Flash ADC
 Digital-Ramp ADC

• Conversion from analog to digital form

inherently involves comparator action where
the value of the analog voltage at some point
in time is compared with some standard.
• A common way to do that is to apply the
analog voltage to one terminal of a
comparator and trigger a binary counter
which drives a DAC.
Digital-Ramp ADC
 Digital-Ramp ADC

• The output of the DAC is applied to the other

terminal of the comparator.
• Since the output of the DAC is increasing
with the counter, it will trigger the
comparator at some point when its voltage
exceeds the analog input.
• The transition of the comparator stops the
binary counter, which at that point holds the
digital value corresponding to the analog
voltage.
Successive approximation ADC

Illustration of 4-bit SAC with 1 volt step size

 Successive approximation ADC
• Much faster than the
digital ramp ADC
because it uses digital
logic to converge on
the value closest to the
input voltage.
• A comparator and a
DAC are used in the
process.
 Flash ADC
• It is the fastest type of ADC available,
but requires a comparator for each
value of output.
(63 for 6-bit, 255 for 8-bit, etc.)
• Such ADCs are available in IC form up to
8-bit and 10-bit flash ADCs (1023
comparators) are planned.
• The encoder logic executes a truth
table to convert the ladder of inputs to
the binary number output.

Illustrated is a 3-bit flash ADC with resolution 1 volt

 Flash ADC
• The resistor net and comparators provide an
input to the combinational logic circuit, so the
conversion time is just the propagation delay
through the network - it is not limited by the
clock rate or some convergence sequence.
 ADC080x, 8-Bit µP Compatible A/D
Converters
• CMOS 8-bit successive approximation A/D converters that use a
differential potentiometer ladder—similar to the 256R products.
• These converters are designed to allow operation with the NSC800
and INS8080A derivative control bus with TRI-STATE output latches
directly driving the data bus.
• These A/Ds appear like memory locations or I/O ports to the
microprocessor and no interfacing logic is needed.
• Differential analog voltage inputs allow increasing the common-
mode rejection and offsetting the analog zero input voltage value.
• In addition, the voltage reference input can be adjusted to allow
encoding any smaller analog voltage span to the full 8 bits of
resolution.

 I/O interfacing
• Introduction:
– Peripheral devices provide interface between the CPU and slow
electromechanical devices
– Previously, all these devices were taken care of by the CPU using interrupt
mechanism or polling techniques, which results in reduced overall efficiency
and low processing speed
– To minimize the slow speed I/O communication overhead, a set of dedicated
programmable peripheral devices have been introduced
– Thus once initiated by the CPU, these devices take care of all the interface
activities , and thus makes the CPU free from the interface activities and
execute its main task more efficiently.

Programmable interval Timer 8253
Function and working principle of 8253:
• The 8253/54 solves one of most common problem in any microcomputer system,
the generation of accurate time delays under software control.
• Instead of setting up timing loops in system software, the programmer configures
the 8253/54 to match his requirements, initializes one of the counters of the
8253/54 with the desired quantity, then upon command the 8253/54 will count
out the delay and interrupt the CPU when it has completed its tasks.
• It is easy to see that the software overhead is minimum and that multiple delays
can be easily be maintained by assignment of priority levels.
• The 8253/54 includes three identical 16 bit counters that can operate
independently.
• To operate a counter, a 16-bit count is loaded in its register and, on command, it
begins to decrement the count until it reaches 0.

Advanced Microprocessor 249

Programmable interval Timer 8253

• At the end of the count, it generates a pulse that can be used to interrupt the
CPU.
• The counter can count either in binary or BCD.
• In addition, a count can be read by the CPU while the counter is
decrementing.
FEATURES:
• Three independent 16-bit down counters.
• Each with maximum count rate of 2.6 MHz .
• Three counters are identical presettable, down counters and can be
programmed for either binary or BCD count.
• Counter can be programmed in six different modes.
• Compatible with all Intel and most other microprocessors.

250
 Programmable interval Timer 8253
FEATURES:
• 8253 has powerful command called READ BACK command which allows the user
to check the count value, programmed mode and current mode and
current status of the counter.
Architecture and signal descriptions:
• Three independent 16-bit counters, all these counters may be independently
controlled by programming the 3 internal command word registers, thus
possible to generate 3 totally independent delays or maintain 3 independent
counters simultaneously.
• It has 8-bit, bidirectional data buffer interfaces internal circuit of 8253 to
microprocessor system bus.
• Data is transmitted or received by the buffer upon the execution of IN (reads
data) or OUT(writes data to a peripheral) instruction.
• Read/write logic controls the direction of the data buffer depending upon
whether it is read or write operation.

Advanced Microprocessor 252

 Programmable interval Timer 8253
• Fig. above shows the block diagram of 8253/54. It includes three counters, a data
bus buffer, Read/Write control logic, and a control register.
• Each counter has two input signals CLOCK and GATE and one output signal
OUT.
– CLK: The clock input is the timing source for each of the internal counters. It is often connected to
the PCLK signal from the bus controller.
– GATE: The gate input controls the operation of the counter in some modes.
– OUT: A counter output where the wave-form generated by the timer is available.
Data Bus Buffer :
•This tri-state, bi-directional, 8-bit buffer is used to interface the 8253/54 to the
system data bus. The Data bus buffer has three basic functions.
1. Programming the modes of 8253/54.
2. Loading the count registers.
3. Reading the count values.

Advanced Microprocessor 253

 Programmable interval Timer 8253
Read/Write Logic :
• The Read/Write logic has five signals : RD,WR,CS and the address lines A0 and
A1.
• In the peripheral I/O mode, the RD, and WR signals are connected to IOR and
IOW, respectively.
• In memory-mapped I/O, these are connected to MEMR and MEMW.
• Address lines A0 and A1 of the CPU are usually connected to lines A0 and A1 of
the 8253/54, and CS is tied to a decoded address.
• The control word register and counters are selected according to the signals on
lines A0 and A1.

Advanced Microprocessor 254

 Programmable interval Timer 8253
Read/Write Logic :
• A low on CS line enables the 8253. No operation will be performed by 8253 till it
is enabled. Table below shows the selected operations for various inputs of 8253:

 Programmable interval Timer 8253
Control Word Register :
• This register is accessed when lines A0 and A1 are at logic 1
• It is used to write a command word which specifies the counter to be used
(binary or BCD), its mode, and either a read or write operation.
Counters :
• These three functional blocks are identical in operation. Each counter consists of
a single, 16 bit, pre-settable, down counter. The counter can operate in either
binary or BCD and its input, gate and output are configured by the selection of
modes stored in the control word register.
• The counters are fully independent. The programmer can read the contents of
any of the three counters without disturbing the actual count in process.

Operational Description:
• The complete functional definition of the 8253/54 is programmed by the system
• software. Once programmed, the 8253/54 is ready to perform whatever timing
tasks it is assigned to accomplish.
Programming the 8253/54 :
• Each counter of the 8253/54 is individually programmed by writing a control
word into the control word register (A0 -A1 = 11).
• The Fig. shows the control word format.
• Bits SC1 and SC0 select the counter, bits RW1 and RW0 select the read, write or
latch command, bits M2,M1 and M0 select the mode of operation and bit BCD
decides whether it is a BCD counter or binary counter.

Each counter may be programmed with a count of 1 to FFFFH.

Each counter has a program control word used to select the way the counter
operates.
If two bytes are programmed, then the first byte (LSB) stops the count,
and the second byte (MSB) starts the counter with the new count.

There are 6 modes of operation for each counter:

Read Operations

There are three possible methods for reading the counters:

• a simple read operation
• the Counter Latch Command
• the Read-Back Command

Simple read operation :

• The Counter which is selected with the A1, A0 inputs, the CLK input of the selected
Counter must be inhibited by using either the GATE input or external logic.
• Otherwise, the count may be in the process of changing when it is read, giving an
undefined result.

 Programmable interval Timer 8253I/O Interface

Counter Latch Command:

• SC0, SC1 bits select one of the three

Counters
• two other bits, D5 and D4, distinguish this
command from a Control Word

• If a Counter is latched and then, some

time later, latched again before the count is
read, the second Counter Latch Command
is ignored. The count read will be the count
at the time the first Counter Latch
Command was issued.

• Right most 2 bits, selects the number of transmitted data bits
(5,6,7or 8)

• Stop bits: S = 1, 1.5 stop bits used for 5 data bits, 2 used for 6, 7 or 8.

Programming the baud rate:

Baud rate generator is programmed with a divisor that sets
baud rate of transmitter.

• Baud rate generator is programmed at 000 and 001 ( A2,A!,A0).

Port 000 used to hold least significant part, 001 most
significant part

Value used depends on external clock/crystal frequency.

For 18.432MHz crystal :
- 10,473 divisor value 110 band rate,
- 30 divisor value gives 38,400 baud

Note : the actual number programmed into baud rate generator causes, to produce a
clock that is 16 times the desired baud rate
eg : if 240 is programmed into baud rate divisor,
Baud rate = 18.432 MHz/(16X240) = 4800 baud.

UART error:
Operation:
It is also a good idea to check for errors.

•Parity error: Received data has wrong error, transmission bit flip due to noise.

•Framing error: Start and stop bits not in their proper places.
This usually results if the receiver is receiving data at the incorrect baud rate.

•Overrun error: Data has overrun the internal receiver FIFO buffer.
Software is failing to read the data from UART before the FIFO is full.

•( BI )Break indicator bit: Software should check for this as well, i.e. two consecutive
frames of 0s.

8259 PIC
 Introduction
• An interrupt is an event which informs the
CPU that its service (action) is needed.
• Sources of interrupts:
– internal fault (e.g.. divide by zero, overflow)
– software
– external hardware :
• maskable
• nonmaskable
– reset
 Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC)
• 8259 is Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC)
• It is a tool for managing the interrupt requests.
• 8259 is a very flexible peripheral controller chip:
– PIC can deal with up to 64 interrupt inputs
– interrupts can be masked
– various priority schemes can also programmed.
• originally (in PC XT) it is available as a separate IC
• Later the functionality of (two PICs) is in the
motherboards chipset.
• In some of the modern processors, the functionality of
the PIC is built in.
 Pin description
CS (CHIP SELECT) :
• A LOW on this input enables the 8259A. No reading or writing of the chip will
occur unless the device is selected.
WR (WRITE):
• A LOW on this input enables the CPU to write control words (ICWs and OCWs) to
the 8259A.
RD (READ) :
• A LOW on this input enables the 8259A to send the status of the Interrupt Request
Register (IRR), In Service Register (ISR), the Interrupt Mask Register (IMR), or the
Interrupt level onto the Data Bus.
A0:
• This input signal is used in conjunction with WR and RD signals to write
commands into the various command registers, as well as reading the various
status registers of the chip. This line can be tied directly to one of the address
lines.
 Pin description
D7 - D0: BIDIRECTIONAL DATA BUS- Control, status and interrupt-vector
information is transferred via this bus.
CAS0 - CAS2: CASCADE LINES: The CAS lines form a private 8259A bus to
control a multiple 8259A structure. These pins are outputs for a master
8259A and inputs for a slave 8259A.
SP/EN: SLAVE PROGRAM/ENABLE BUFFER: This is a dual function pin.
When in the Buffered Mode it can be used as an output to control buffer
transceivers (EN). When not in the buffered mode it is used as an input to
designate a master (SP e 1) or slave (SP e 0).
INT : INTERRUPT: This pin goes high whenever a valid interrupt request is
asserted. It is used to interrupt the CPU, thus it is connected to the CPU's
interrupt pin.
INTA: INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE: This pin is used to enable 8259A
interrupt-vector data onto the data bus by a sequence of interrupt
acknowledge
pulses issued by the CPU.
 Architecture of PIC-8257
Features:
• It is programmed to work with either 8085 or 8086 processor.
• It manage 8-interrupts according to the instructions written into its control registers.
• In 8086 processor, it supplies the type number of the interrupt and the type number is
programmable. In 8085 processor, the interrupt vector address is programmable. The
priorities of the interrupts are programmable.
• The interrupts can be masked or unmasked individually.
• The 8259s can be cascaded to accept a maximum of 64 interrupts.
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM OF 8259:
It has eight functional blocks. They are:
• Control logic
• Read Write logic
• Data bus buffer
• Interrupt Request Register (IRR)
• In-Service Register (ISR)
• Interrupt Mask Register (IMR)
• Priority Resolver (PR)
• Cascade buffer.
 Architecture of PIC-8259
Data Bus Buffer:
Data bus and its buffer are used for the following activities:
• It is a tristate bidirectional buffer interfaces internal 8259A to the
microprocessor system data bus
• The processor sends control word to data bus buffer through D0-D7.
• The processor read status word from data bus buffer through D0-D7
• From the data bus buffer the 8259 send type number through D0-D7 to the
processor.
Read/Write control logic
• The function of this block is to accept OUTput commands from the CPU. It contains
the Initialization Command Word (ICW) registers and Operation
• Command Word (OCW) registers which store the various control formats for
device operation. This function block also allows the status of the 8259A to be
transferred onto the Data Bus.
 Architecture of PIC-8259
Interrupt request register:
• The IRR has eight input lines (IR0-IR7) for interrupts. When these lines go high, the
request is stored in IRR in order to serve them one by one on the priority basis. It
registers a request only if the interrupt is unmasked.
• Normally IR0 has highest priority and IR7 has the lowest priority. The priorities of
the interrupt request input are also programmable.
• First the 8259 should be programmed by sending Initialization Command Word
(ICW) and Operational Command Word (OCW). These command words will inform
8259 about the following:

• Type of interrupt signal (Level triggered / Edge triggered).

• Type of processor (8085/8086).
• Call address and its interval (4 or 8)
• Masking of interrupts.
• Priority of interrupts.
• Type of end of interrupts.
 Architecture of PIC-8259
Interrupt mask register (IMR):
• The interrupt mask register (IMR) stores the masking bits of the interrupt lines to be
masked. The relevant information is send by the processor through OCW.
In-service register(ISR):
• The in-service register keeps track of which interrupt is currently being serviced.
Priority resolver:
• The priority resolver examines the interrupt request, mask and in-service registers and
determines whether INT signal should be sent to the processor or not. The IR0 has the hiest
priority while the IR7 has the lowest priority, normally in fixed priority mode. The priorities
however may be altered by the programming the 8259A in rotating mode.
Cascade buffer/comparator:
• The cascade buffer/comparator is used to expand the interrupts of 8259.
• In cascade connection one 8259 will be directly interrupting 8086 and it is called master
8259.
• To each interrupt request input of master 8259 (IR0-IR7), one slave 8259 can be connected.
The 8259s interrupting the master 8259 are called slave 8259s.
• Each 8259 has its own addresses so that each 8259 can be programmed independently by
sending command words and independently the status bytes can be read from it.

 INTERRUPT SEQUENCE
The events occur as follows in an 8086 system:
1. One or more of the INTERRUPT REQUEST lines (IR7 – IR0) are raised high,
setting the corresponding IRR bit(s).
2. The 8259A evaluates these requests, and sends an INT to the CPU, if
appropriate.
3. The CPU acknowledges the INT and responds with an INTA pulse.
4. Upon receiving an INTA from the CPU group, the highest priority ISR bit is set,
and the corresponding IRR bit is reset. The 8259A will also release a CALL
instruction code (11001101) onto the 8-bit Data Bus through its D7 - D0 pins.
5. This CALL instruction will initiate second INTA pulses to be sent to the 8259A
from the CPU group.
6. This INTA pulse allow the 8259A to release an 8-bit preprogrammed subroutine
address onto the Data Bus.
7. ISR bit is reset at the end of the 2nd INTA pulse if automatic EOI mode is
programmed

 Command words of 8259A
PROGRAMMING THE 8259A
The 8259A accepts two types of command words generated by the CPU:
1. Initialization Command Words (ICWs): Before normal operation can begin,
each 8259A in the system must be initialized by writing 2 to 4 command
words in the resp. command word reg.

2. Operation Command Words (OCWs): These are the command words which
command the 8259A to operate in various interrupt modes. These modes are:
a. Fully nested mode
b. Rotating priority mode
c. Special mask mode
d. Polled mode
The OCWs can be written into the 8259A anytime after initialization.

KEYBOARD DEBOUNCE AND CONTROL:
 It is enabled only when keyboard mode is selected.
 In this mode , return lines are scanned whether any
keys are closed in the row.
 If debounce circuit is detect any closed switch it wait
about 10 msec.
 It is continued , the status of SHIFT and CONTROL
keys are transferred into RAM.

 FIFO/SENSOR RAM:
 This is a dual function of 8*8 RAM.

 In scanned key board mode and Strobed input mode , It is
FIFO.
 Each new entry is written into successive RAM position and
read in the order of entry.
 In sensor matrix mode it is a sensor RAM.
 Each sensor RAM is loaded with corresponding sensor RAM
status.

 FIFO/SENSOR RAM status:

 This is used to tell the status of FIFO/SENSOR RAM.
 The status of logic also makes IRQ signal is High , When FIFO is
not empty.
 Display section:
It consists of,
1. Display RAM.
2. Display Address registers.
3. Display registers.
DISPLAY RAM:
 It is a 16*8 RAM.
 Which stores 16 digits display codes.
 It can be accessed by CPU directly.
 In Decoded mode,8279 uses only first four location of Display
RAM.
 In Encoded mode,8279 uses only first eight location of Display
RAM.
 And all 16 location for 16 digits display.
DISPLAY ADDRESS REGISTERS:
 Used to hold address of the byte currently write
or read by the CPU and scan count value.
 In auto increment mode, address in the register
is automatically incremented for each write or
read.
DISPLAY REGISTERS:
 It is a Two 4-bit registers such as , A and B.
 They hold the bit patterns of character to be
displayed.
 The content of display registers A and B can B
blanked and inhibited individually.
 Operating modes
• It is two types,
1. Input modes.
2. Display modes.
INPUT MODES:
 It is basically 3 types,
1. Scanned keyboard.
2. Scanned sensor matrix.
3. Strobed mode.
SCANNED KEYBOARD:
Key board can be scanned in two ways.
1.Encoded Scan 2.Decoded Scan.
ENCODED SCAN:
 In this scan, scan lines (SL2-SL0) are encoded
externally to provide 8 scan lines.
 Additionally it provides 8 return lines.
 So the size of matrix keyboard is 8*8 (i.e Scan *
Return)=64.
 When the key is pressed , it is stored the status
of return lines , Scan lines ,SHIFT and CNTL/STB
keys into
B
7
FIFO
6 B
RAM.
5 B B4
3 B
2 B1 B0 B
 The Scanned
CNTL keyboard
SHIFT SCANstructure is,
RETURN
Example:
 Find the key code for given condition below:
CNTL/STB SHIFT keys are open.
The pressed keys are to scan lines 2 and return
lines 4.
SOLUTION:
B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0
1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0
 CNTL=1
 SHIFT=1
 Scan mode=010 (Scan line 2)
 Return mode=100 (Return line 4)
 Key code =D4 H
DECODED SCAN:
 In this mode ,internal decoder decodes the least significant
bits of scan lines (SC3-SC0).
 That is provide the four combination such as
1110,1101,1011 and 0111.
 So the maximum size of keyboard is 8*4=32.
 The key code is similar to encoded code , only bit 5 (B 5) is
always zero.
2-KEY LOCKOUT:
 In this mode, the two key depression is not allowed.
 When any key is depressed, the debounce logic is
set and 8279 checks for any key depress next two
scans.
 Three possible condition to avoid debouncing:
 Condition 1:
 If other key depression is not found during next two
scan, it is a single key is depressed .Then the status
of key code is entered into FIFO RAM along with the
status of CNTL and SHIFT lines
 If FIFO RAM is empty , The CPU is entry the data.
 If FIFO RAM is full , The CPU does not entry the
data.
Condition 2:
 If any other key depress is encountered , no
entry to the FIFO can occur.
 When the key is released after that only Entry
will be allowed.
Condition3:
 If the two key is pressed in simultaneously in a
debounce cycle, both depression is not
considered.
• N-KEY ROLLOVER:
 Each key is depression is treated as independently
from all others.
SCANNED SENSOR MATRIX:
 In this mode , image of the sensor matrix is kept in
the sensor RAM.
 The status of sensor switches are input directly to
the sensor RAM.
 8279 scans row one by one and store the status of
each row in the corresponding memory location.
 STROBED INPUT MODE:
 The data is entered from Returned lines.
 Display modes:
• It is basically two types,
1. Left entry (Type writer mode).
2. Right entry (Calculator mode).
LEFT ENTRY:
 In this mode , 8279 display characters from left to
right.
 Like a typewriter.
AUTOINCREMENT IN LEFT ENTRY:
 In left entry mode , Autoincrement flag is set
after each operation display RAM address is
incremented.
RIGHT ENTRY:
 In this mode , 8279 display characters from
Right to left.
 Like a Calculator.
AUTOINCREMENT IN RIGHT ENTRY:
 In right entry mode , Auto increment flag is
set after each operation display RAM
address is incremented.
Interfacing stepper motor with
8085
 Stepper motor
• A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which converts
electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft or
spindle of a stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when
electrical command pulses are applied to it in the proper sequence.

• The sequence of the applied pulses is directly related to the

direction of motor rotation. The speed of the motor’s shaft is directly
related to the frequency of the input pulses; and the length of
rotation is directly related to the number of input pulses applied.

• One of the most significant advantages of a stepper motor is its

ability to be accurately controlled in an open loop system. This type
of control eliminates the need for expensive sensing and feedback
devices such as optical encoders. Its position is known simply by
keeping track of the input step pulses.
 Application

Because of the inherent advantages, stepper

motors have found their place in many
different applications.
Some of these include:
printers, plotters, high end office equipment,
hard disk drives, medical equipment, fax
machines, machine tools, automotive
devices and many more
 HARDWARE FOR STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL

• A stepper motor is a digital motor. It can be driven by digital

signal. Fig. shows the typical 2 phase motor rated 12V /0.67 A/ph
interfaced with the 8085 microprocessor system using 8255.
Motor shown in the circuit has two phases, with center-tap
winding. The center taps of these windings are connected to the
12V supply. Due to this, motor can be excited by grounding four
terminals of the two windings. Motor can be rotated in steps by
giving proper excitation sequence to these windings. The lower
nibble of port A of the 8255 is used to generate excitation signals
in the proper sequence. These excitation signals are buffered
using driver transistors. The transistors are selected such that
they can source rated current for the windings. Motor is rotated
by 1.80 per excitation.
