The 82C55 is a programmable peripheral interface chip that can interface TTL-compatible I/O devices to microprocessors. It has 24 programmable I/O pins grouped into three ports that can operate in three modes to provide input, output, and handshaking signals. The 82C55 is commonly used to interface keyboards and parallel printers to PCs and can interface devices like stepper motors by providing drive signals to control the motor's direction and number of steps.

About 82C55 • The 82C55 is a popular low cost interfacing component, that can interface any TTL- compatible I/O device to a microprocessor.
• It is used to interface to the keyboard and
a parallel printer port in PCs (usually as part of an integrated chipset). About 82C55

• A RESET input to the 82C55 causes all
ports to be set up as simple input ports using mode 0 operation. 82C55 PPI Addressing the 82C55

Notice that bit position 7 selects either Command byte
A or Command byte B.
Command byte A : (command byte A programs the
function of group A and B)
Command byte B : (command byte b sets (1) or reset
(0) bit of port C only if the 82C55 is programmed in mode 1 & 2) Programming The 82C55 • Group B Pins: Are programmed as either input or output pins.Group B can operate in either mode o or 1. Mode 0 is the basic input/output mode that allows pins of group B to be programmed as simple input latched output connections.
Mode 1 operation is the strobed operation for
group B connections. Programming The 82C55 • Group A Pins: Are also programmed as either input or output pins.The difference is that Group A can operate in modes 0,1 and 2.
82C55 has three operation modes:
mode 0 mode 1 mode 2 Programming 82C55 Mode 0 (Basic Input/Output). • This functional configuration provides simple input and output operations for each of the three ports. • No “handshaking” is required, data is simply written to or read from a specified port. MODE 1 (Strobed Input/Output) • This functional configuration provides a means for transferring I/O data to or from a specified port in conjunction with strobes or “handshaking” signals. • In mode 1, Port A and Port B use the lines on Port C to generate or accept these “handshaking” signals Mode 1 Basic functional Definitions • Two Groups (Group A and Group B). • Each group contains one 8-bit data port and one 4-bit control/data port. • The 8-bit data port can be either input or output Both inputs and outputs are latched. • The 4-bit port is used for control and status of the 8-bit data port. MODE 2 Basic Functional Definitions:
• Used in Group A only.
• One 8-bit, bi-directional bus port (Port A) and a 5-bit control port (Port C). • Both inputs and outputs are latched. • The 5-bit control port (Port C) is used for control and status for the 8-bit, bi- directional bus port (Port A). A Stepper Motor Interfaced to the 82C55. • Another device often interfaced to a computer system is the stepper motor. – a digital motor because it is moved in discrete steps as it traverses through 360° • An inexpensive stepper motor is geared to move perhaps 15° per step • A more costly, high-precision stepper motor can be geared to 1° per step. A Stepper Motor Interfaced to the 82C55. • In all cases, these steps are gained through many magnetic poles and/or gearing. • Figure 11–23 shows a four-coil stepper motor that uses an armature with a single pole. – two coils are energized • If less power is required, one coil may be energized at a time, causing the motor to step at 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315°. • The motor is shown with the armature rotated to four discrete places, called full stepping. – accomplished by energizing the coils, as shown Figure 11–23 The stepper motor showing full-step operation: (a) 45° (b) 135° (c) 225° (d) 315°. A Stepper Motor Interfaced to the 82C55. • The motor is driven by NPN Darlington amp pairs to provide a large current to each coil. • A circuit that can drive this stepper motor is illustrated in Fig 11–24. • with the four coils shown in place • This circuit uses the 82C55 to provide drive signals used to rotate the motor armature in either the right- or left-hand direction.
