CMOS Programmable Peripheral Interface
The Intersil 82C55A is a high performance CMOS version of
the industry standard 8255A and is manufactured using a
self-aligned silicon gate CMOS process (Scaled SAJI IV). It
is a general purpose programmable I/O device which may
be used with many different microprocessors. There are 24
I/O pins which may be individually programmed in 2 groups
of 12 and used in 3 major modes of operation. The high
performance and industry standard configuration of the
82C55A make it compatible with the 80C86, 80C88 and
other microprocessors.
Static CMOS circuit design insures low operating power. TTL
compatibility over the full military temperature range and bus
hold circuitry eliminate the need for pull-up resistors. The
Intersil advanced SAJI process results in performance equal
to or greater than existing functionally equivalent products at
a fraction of the power.

Functional Description
Data Bus Buffer
This three-state bidirectional 8-bit buffer is used to interface
the 82C55A to the system data bus. Data is transmitted or
received by the buffer upon execution of input or output
instructions by the CPU. Control words and status
information are also transferred through the data bus buffer.

Read/Write and Control Logic
The function of this block is to manage all of the internal and
external transfers of both Data and Control or Status words.
It accepts inputs from the CPU Address and Control busses
and in turn, issues commands to both of the Control Groups.
(CS)
Chip Select. A “low” on this input pin enables the
communication between the 82C55A and the CPU.
(RD)
Read. A “low” on this input pin enables 82C55A to send
the data or status information to the CPU on the data bus. In
essence, it allows the CPU to “read from” the 82C55A.
(WR)
Write. A “low” on this input pin enables the CPU to
write data or control words into the 82C55A.
(A0 and A1)
Port Select 0 and Port Select 1. These input
signals, in conjunction with the RD and WR inputs, control
the selection of one of the three ports or the control word
register. They are normally connected to the least significant
bits of the address bus (A0 and A1).

FUNCTIONS
Group A and Group B Controls
The functional configuration of each port is programmed by
the systems software. In essence, the CPU “outputs” a
control word to the 82C55A. The control word contains
information such as “mode”, “bit set”, “bit reset”, etc., that
initializes the functional configuration of the 82C55A.
Each of the Control blocks (Group A and Group B) accepts
“commands” from the Read/Write Control logic, receives
“control words” from the internal data bus and issues the
proper commands to its associated ports.
Control Group A - Port A and Port C upper (C7 - C4)
Control Group B - Port B and Port C lower (C3 - C0)
The control word register can be both written and read as
shown in the “Basic Operation” table. Figure 4 shows the
control word format for both Read and Write operations.
When the control word is read, bit D7 will always be a logic
“1”, as this implies control word mode information.
Ports A, B, and C
The 82C55A contains three 8-bit ports (A, B, and C). All can
be configured to a wide variety of functional characteristics
by the system software but each has its own special features
or “personality” to further enhance the power and flexibility of
the 82C55A.
Port A
One 8-bit data output latch/buffer and one 8-bit data
input latch. Both “pull-up” and “pull-down” bus-hold devices
are present on Port A. See Figure 2A.
Port B
One 8-bit data input/output latch/buffer and one 8-bit
data input buffer. See Figure 2B.
Port C
One 8-bit data output latch/buffer and one 8-bit data
input buffer (no latch for input). This port can be divided into
(RESET)
Reset. A “high” on this input initializes the control
register to 9Bh and all ports (A, B, C) are set to the input
mode. “Bus hold” devices internal to the 82C55A will hold
the I/O port inputs to a logic “1” state with a maximum hold
current of 400μA.

two 4-bit ports under the mode control. Each 4-bit port
contains a 4-bit latch and it can be used for the control signal
output and status signal inputs in conjunction with ports A
and B. See Figure 2B.

Operational Description
Mode Selection
There are three basic modes of operation than can be
selected by the system software:
Mode 0 - Basic Input/Output
Mode 1 - Strobed Input/Output
Mode 2 - Bidirectional Bus
When the reset input goes “high”, all ports will be set to the
input mode with all 24 port lines held at a logic “one” level by
internal bus hold devices. After the reset is removed, the
82C55A can remain in the input mode with no additional
initialization required. This eliminates the need to pull-up or
pull-down resistors in all-CMOS designs. The control word
register will contain 9Bh. During the execution of the system
program, any of the other modes may be selected using a
single output instruction. This allows a single 82C55A to
service a variety of peripheral devices with a simple software
maintenance routine. Any port programmed as an output
port is initialized to all zeros when the control word is written.
