Microprocessor - 8085 Pin Configuration

The 8085 microprocessor has pins that are classified into seven groups - the address bus carries the memory/IO address, the data bus carries address and data, control and status signals identify operations, power supply pins provide power, clock signals generate the internal clock, interrupt and externally initiated signals request tasks from the microprocessor, and serial I/O signals enable serial communication. Key pins include those for the address bus, data bus, control signals like RD and WR, status signals like IO/M, power pins, clock signals, interrupt pins, and serial I/O pins.

Microprocessor - 8085 Pin Configuration

The following image depicts the pin diagram of 8085 Microprocessor −

The pins of a 8085 microprocessor can be classified into seven groups −

Address bus
A15-A8, it carries the most significant 8-bits of memory/IO address.

Data bus
AD7-AD0, it carries the least significant 8-bit address and data bus.

Control and status signals


These signals are used to identify the nature of operation. There are 3 control signal and 3 status
signals.

Three control signals are RD, WR & ALE.

RD − This signal indicates that the selected IO or memory device is to be read and is ready
for accepting data available on the data bus.
WR − This signal indicates that the data on the data bus is to be written into a selected
memory or IO location.
ALE − It is a positive going pulse generated when a new operation is started by the
microprocessor. When the pulse goes high, it indicates address. When the pulse goes down
it indicates data.

Three status signals are IO/M, S0 & S1.

IO/M
This signal is used to differentiate between IO and Memory operations, i.e. when it is high
indicates IO operation and when it is low then it indicates memory operation.

S1 & S0
These signals are used to identify the type of current operation.

Power supply
There are 2 power supply signals − VCC & VSS. VCC indicates +5v power supply and VSS
indicates ground signal.

Clock signals
There are 3 clock signals, i.e. X1, X2, CLK OUT.

X1, X2 − A crystal (RC, LC N/W) is connected at these two pins and is used to set frequency
of the internal clock generator. This frequency is internally divided by 2.

CLK OUT − This signal is used as the system clock for devices connected with the
microprocessor.

Interrupts & externally initiated signals


Interrupts are the signals generated by external devices to request the microprocessor to
perform a task. There are 5 interrupt signals, i.e. TRAP, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5, and INTR.
We will discuss interrupts in detail in interrupts section.

INTA − It is an interrupt acknowledgment signal.

RESET IN − This signal is used to reset the microprocessor by setting the program counter
to zero.

RESET OUT − This signal is used to reset all the connected devices when the
microprocessor is reset.

READY − This signal indicates that the device is ready to send or receive data. If READY is
low, then the CPU has to wait for READY to go high.
HOLD − This signal indicates that another master is requesting the use of the address and
data buses.

HLDA (HOLD Acknowledge) − It indicates that the CPU has received the HOLD request
and it will relinquish the bus in the next clock cycle. HLDA is set to low after the HOLD signal
is removed.

Serial I/O signals


There are 2 serial signals, i.e. SID and SOD and these signals are used for serial
communication.

SOD (Serial output data line) − The output SOD is set/reset as specified by the SIM
instruction.
SID (Serial input data line) − The data on this line is loaded into accumulator whenever a
RIM instruction is executed.
