PARALLEL COMMUNICATION STANDARD

ORIGINAL PURPOSE Use to connect the PC with the printer device to print out documents. Many data is transmit/receive at the same time. We use this function of PC in the control trend Note: Some equiptments that use the parrallel or (multi data lines) to connect together is also called the parralel standard.

MERITS OF PARALLEL STANDARD Simple and easy to communicate or programming. The communication speed is quite high.

DISADVANTAGES Many data line Weak in noise avoidance The transmit/receive distance is short (about < 15 meters)

THE PARALLEL TYPE IN A PC SPP (Standard Paprallel Port) EPP (Enhanced Paprallel Port)

These 4 pins or 4 bits of the control register have hardware inverted functions.

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

As mention above on the Bi-directional function of main board. If bit 5 of control register is set to 1, the pins of data registers (pin 2 to pin 9) can be used as the input port. The 4 pins or 4 bits of the control register have hardware inverted can we do on these pins to make sure that the real data is received the NOT gate at these pins) How (Input

Special case If some main board does not support the function open collector of the control register, this means that the direction of the pins belongs to control register has only 1 direction (output), we will use the multiplexer to read 4 bits into the status register. We will read two times to get 8 bits data. Ex:

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ex:
outportb(controlReg, inportb(controlReg) | 0x01); a = (inportb(statusReg) & 0xF0) ; a = a >> 4 ; outportb(controlReg, inportb(controlReg) | 0xFE); a = (inportb(statusReg) & 0xFF) ; byte = a ^ 0x88;

To read 8 bits data: Let bit D0 (bit strobe) of the control register equal to 1 (D0 = 1) to read 4 low bits of status register (4 low bits of input data 1A 4A). Then, right shift 4

bits. Then, let bit D0 = 0 to read 4 high bits of status register (4 high bits of input data 1B 4B). Then, we get 8 bit input data. Because of the bit Busy

has the inverted hardware, so we have to let the 8 bit input data EXOR with 88h to invert bit D7 and D3 of the input signals.

PROGRAMMING METHODS Visual C++, C - Read data + _inp : read 1 byte data + _inpw: read one word data + _inpd: read one double word data - Write data + _outp : write 1 byte data + _outpw: write one word data + _outpd: write one double word data Or we can use some other DLL support for Visual C++, C to program for LPT.

RD,WR : input or output mode.

- The operation mode of 8255

Operations - PortA: Operate in Mode 0, 1, 2 - PortB: Operate in Mode 0, 1 - PortC: Operate in Mode 0 and PortC is used as the control signals for PortA and PortB in operation mode 1.

15

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

INITIAL STATE (Reset) - When reset, three ports of 8255 are set as input port at mode 0. - To define the operation mode of 8255, we have to set the control word with the suitable value. Control Word - This control word will set the direction of ports (input/output) or operation mode. - Control word (8 bits) is save in the Control Word Register.

Ex: We choose the operation mode for 8255 like this: Port A: Input, mode 1; Port B: Output, mode 0, Port C high : output, Port C low : Input.

The value of CW : 10110001b The mode bit set/reset of PortC - Use to set or clear one specific bit of Port C. - Normally use in the control mode - The bit set reset of Port C is controlled by CW. - Specification: Bit 7: 0 Bit: 6, 5, 4: X Bit 3 , 2, 1: Choose bit (000 bit 0 to 111 bit 7) Bit 0: = 0: Clear = 1: Set The control word of this case is also output to the control word address of 8255. Note: The bit set/reset mode of port C does not effect to the normal operation mode of 8255 was set before. OPERATION MODE + 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 specific port. Mode 0 Basic Functional Definitions: Two 8-bit ports and two 4-bit ports Any Port can be input or output This mode does not use handshaking with the I/O. This mode is suitable for the data which are not normally changed. Ex, this can be used in the getting of sampling rate of data because it does not check the error of the data.

Input

Output

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 hand shaking signals. In mode 1, port A and port B use the lines on port C to generate or accept these hand shaking signals. Mode 1 Basic Function Definitions: Two Groups (Group A and Group B) Each group contains one 8-bit port and one 4-bit control/data port The 8-bit data port can be either input or output.
18

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The 4-bit port is used for control and status of the 8-bit port. INPUT MODE

STB (Strobe Input) A low on this input loads data into the input latch. IBF (Input Buffer Full F/F) A high on this output indicates that the data has been loaded into the input latch: in essence, and acknowledgment. IBF is set by STB input being low and is reset by the rising edge of the RD input. INTR (Interrupt Request) A high on this output can be used to interrupt the CPU when and input device is requesting service. INTR is set by the condition: STB is a one, IBF is a one and INTE is a one. It is reset by the falling edge of RD. This procedure allows an input device to request service from the CPU by simply strobing its data into the port.

INTE A Controlled by bit set/reset of PC4. INTE B Controlled by bit set/reset of PC2.

OUTPUT MODE

20

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

OBF (Output Buffer Full). The OBF output will go low to indicate that the CPU has written data out to be specified port. Data is guaranteed valid at the rising edge of OBF, The OBF will be set by the rising edge of the WR input and reset by ACK input being low. ACK (Acknowledge Input). A low on this input informs the 82C55 that the data from Port A or Port B is ready to be accepted. In essence, a response from the peripheral device indicating that it is ready to accept data. INTR - (Interrupt Request). A high on this output can be used to interrupt the CPU when an output device has accepted data transmitted by the CPU. INTR is set when ACK is a one, OBF is a one and INTE is a one. It is reset by the falling edge of WR.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION STANDARD

The electrical specifications of the serial port is contained in the EIA (Electronics Industry Association) RS232 standard. It states many parameters such as: 1. A "Space" (logic 0) will be between +3 and +25 Volts. 2. A "Mark" (Logic 1) will be between -3 and -25 Volts. 3. The region between +3 and -3 volts is undefined. 4. An open circuit voltage should never exceed 25 volts. (In Reference to GND) 5. A short circuit current should not exceed 500mA. The driver should be able to handle this without damage.

There are two kinds of serial communication The speed of transmission is called Baud The width of bit also express the speed of communication. Ex, the transmission data has the width of bit is 20ms, this means that it can be transmit 1/20ms = 50 bit in 1 second. Then, it can be said that the transissin

30

Copyright 2010, Dr. Vo Tuong Quan _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

speed is 50 bit per second or the baud rate is 50bps. Baud (Baud is number of bits transmitted/sec, including start, stop, data and parity). Some typical Baud of serial communications: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,.., 56000, 115200,. Ex: Null Modem

1. SYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION Sender and receiver must synchronize. Block of data can be sent. More efficient. Expensive

Synchronous transmit/receive diagram Synchronous transfer does not transfer extra bits. However, it requires clock signal.

Synchronous transmit/receive diagram

2. ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION - Each byte is encoded for transmission. - No need for sender and receiver synchronization.

Asynchronous transmit/receive diagram Asynchronous transfer does not require clock signal. However, it transfers extra bits (start bits and stop bits) during data communication.

Asynchronous data transfer diagram

In the RS232 standard, logic 1 is named Mark (-10V) and logic 0 is named Space (+10V). When not active, the transmission line is in the state of Mark. When starting transmission, the Start bit is transmitted first, then 8 data bit are followed (The LSB bit is transmit first then the MSB bit is transmitted in the end).

4. INTERFACE CHIP The MAX232 (Figure 4-1) includes two drivers that convert TTL or CMOS inputs to RS-232 outputs and two receivers that convert RS-232 inputs to TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs. The drivers and receivers also invert the signals. This chip contains two charge-pump voltage converters that act as tiny, unregulated power supplies that enable the chip to support loaded RS-232 outputs of 5V or greater. Four external capacitors store energy for the supplies. The recommended value for the capacitors is 1F or larger. If using polarized capacitors, take care to get the polarities correct when you put the circuit together.

34

The voltage at pin 6 is negative, so its capacitors + terminal connects to ground. Because the outputs can be as high as 10V, be sure the capacitors are rated for a working voltage direct current (WVDC) of at least 15V.

DLAB (Divisor Latch Access Bit) is the bit 7 of LCR 0: Programming data frame 1: Programming communication speed. User can reprogramming the communication speed by reload the value of divisor of the UART. Divisor = Clock frequency/(speed x 16)

Ex: UART uses clock has frequency of 1.8432MHz and the desired speed is 9600 bauds. Then, the divisor is: Divisor = 1843200/(9600 x 16) = 12 + SOME TYPICLE REGISTERS LINE CONTROL REGISTER - LCR (+3)

PARITY A parity bit is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with the value one in a set of bits is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code. There are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. When using even parity, the parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits (not including the parity bit) is odd, making the entire set of bits (including the parity bit) even. When using odd parity, the parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits (not including the parity bit) is even, keeping the entire set of bits (including the parity bit) odd. However, parity has the advantage that it uses only a single bit and requires only a number of XOR gates to generate. If an odd number of bits (including the parity bit) are transmitted incorrectly, the parity bit will be incorrect and thus indicates that an error occurred in transmission. The parity bit is only suitable for detecting errors; it cannot correct any errors, as there is no way to determine which particular bit is corrupted. The data must be discarded entirely, and re-transmitted from scratch. Ex: The parity bit can be computed as follows, assuming we are sending a simple 4-bit value 1001 with the parity bit following on the right, and with ^ denoting an XOR gate: Transmission sent using even parity: A wants to transmit: 1001 A computes parity bit value: 1^0^0^1 = 0 A adds parity bit and sends: 10010 B receives: B computes parity: 10010 1^0^0^1^0 = 0

B reports correct transmission after observing expected even result. Transmission sent using odd parity: A wants to transmit: 1001 A computes parity bit value: ~(1^0^0^1) = 1 A adds parity bit and sends: 10011 B receives: B computes overall parity: 10011 1^0^0^1^1 = 1

B reports correct transmission after observing expected odd result. Transmission sent using even parity: A wants to transmit: 1001 A computes parity bit value: 1^0^0^1 = 0 A adds parity bit and sends: 10010 *** ERROR CASE *** B receives: B computes overall parity: 11010 1^1^0^1^0 = 1

B reports incorrect transmission after observing unexpected odd result.

B calculates an odd overall parity indicating the bit error. Here's the same example but now the parity bit itself gets corrupted: A wants to transmit: A computes even parity value: A sends: *** ERROR CASE *** B receives: B computes overall parity: 10011 1^0^0^1^1 = 1 1001 1^0^0^1 = 0 10010

B reports incorrect transmission after observing unexpected odd result.

Special case A wants to transmit: 1001 A computes even parity value: 1^0^0^1 = 0 A sends: 10010 *** ERROR CASE*** B receives: 11011 B computes overall parity: 1^1^0^1^1 = 0 B reports correct transmission though actually incorrect. If there are two bits error, parity can not check! LINE STATUS REGISTER - LSR (+5)
