Next, let’s discuss connecting external components such as LEDs and switches. Who can tell me why we need current limiting resistors?
To prevent damage to the LEDs, right?
Correct! If we don't limit the current, the LEDs might burn out. It's all about protecting our components.
And what about the switches? Do we need anything special for them?
Good point! For switches, we may also need pull-up or pull-down resistors to ensure stable input signals.
Sounds like we need to be careful with all the connections.
Absolutely! Safe connections lead to successful experiments. Remember: ‘Connect with care, and you’ll get a fair share!’

Now we’ll calculate the Control Word for our 8255 setup. Can anyone remind me what a Control Word is?
It dictates how each port will function, like whether it’s input or output.
Exactly! For example, if we want Port A as Output, we set specific bits in our Control Word. Let's walk through that process.
How do we know what bits to set?
Each setting corresponds to a binary value. For instance, setting Port A as Output would set certain bits to 0. You'll follow a format to derive the final value.
Can you show us an example?
Sure! If we set Port A as Output, Port B as Input, and use Mode 0, our Control Word would be calculated as 88H in hexadecimal.
Writing Control Words

Finally, let’s put everything into action by writing our Control Word to the CWR. What assembly instruction do we use first?
We need to load the Control Word into the Accumulator, right?
Correct! You would use `MVI A, 88H` to load the Control Word. Then, which instruction comes next for outputting it?
`OUT 83H` to send it to the Control Word Register!
Exactly! These instructions are crucial for setting up the 8255 for I/O operations.
What happens if we make a mistake here?
A mistake in writing the Control Word could lead to the ports not functioning correctly. Always double-check your entries!
Understood! Precision is key in programming!
You’ve all done well! Remember: 'Accuracy in code is the path to success!'

- Power on the 8085 trainer kit and press the RESET button.
Detailed Explanation
The first step when using the 8085 microprocessor trainer kit is to ensure that it is powered on. This implies connecting the power supply to the kit and turning it on. After powering on, you press the RESET button. This action initializes the system, clearing any residual data and setting registers to their default states.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this step as turning on a computer and pressing the reset button to clear the memory. Just like a computer needs a proper start to function correctly, the microprocessor must also be reset to ensure it begins operations smoothly.
Identifying I/O Addresses

- Identify the I/O addresses of Port A, Port B, Port C, and the Control Word Register of the 8255 PPI on your trainer kit (e.g., 80H, 81H, 82H, 83H respectively).
Detailed Explanation
Once the system is reset, the next step is to identify the specific input/output addresses for the ports and control registers of the 8255. These addresses are vital as they allow the 8085 microprocessor to communicate effectively with the 8255 chip. In this case, the addresses are assumed to be 80H for Port A, 81H for Port B, 82H for Port C, and 83H for the Control Word Register.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine these I/O addresses as postal addresses for communication. Just as every house (or person) has a unique address to receive mail, each part of the 8255 interface has its own address to receive data or commands from the microprocessor.
Connecting LEDs to Output Ports

- Connect LEDs to the output port(s) you plan to use (e.g., Port A or Port B) if they are not integrated. Ensure proper current limiting resistors are used if wiring directly.
Detailed Explanation
After identifying I/O addresses, you need to physically connect any output devices, such as LEDs, to the respective output ports. If the trainer kit does not include integrated LEDs, you must manually connect them, making sure to include current-limiting resistors to prevent damage to the LEDs from excessive current.
Examples & Analogies
Connecting the LEDs is similar to attaching speakers to a stereo system. Just as you need to ensure the speakers are wired correctly and protected from loud sound by using proper wiring, it’s essential to ensure that LEDs are correctly connected and protected to avoid burning them out.
Connecting Switches to Input Ports
Unlock Audio Book
Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
- Connect switches to the input port(s) (e.g., Port B or Port C) if they are not integrated. Ensure pull-up/pull-down resistors are used as needed.
Detailed Explanation
You also need to connect input devices, such as switches, to the designated input ports of the 8255. If the switches are not built into the trainer kit, they must be connected externally. Additionally, it’s crucial to use pull-up or pull-down resistors to set a known default state for the switches to ensure reliable readings by the microprocessor.
Examples & Analogies
This process is akin to setting up a remote control to turn on a TV. Just like a remote needs to be connected to the TV via batteries or wires to function properly, switches need to be properly connected to ensure they send accurate signals to the input ports.
Calculating the 8255 Control Word

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
- Calculate the appropriate 8255 Control Word (I/O Mode Set Word) based on the desired port configurations for each program (e.g., Port A Output, Port B Input, etc.).
Detailed Explanation
Before starting any programming tasks, you need to calculate the Control Word for the 8255. This Control Word defines how each of the ports will operate (output or input) and whether they will be in a specific mode. Different combinations of bits in the Control Word will configure the 8255 appropriately for your needs.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this calculation as creating a recipe for a dish. Just as a recipe outlines the ingredients and their quantities needed to achieve a specific flavor, the Control Word outlines how the ports should be configured to achieve the desired functionality from the 8255.
Writing Control Word to CWR
Unlock Audio Book
Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
- Write the Control Word to the 8255's Control Word Register (CWR) using an 8085 assembly program. This is usually the first step in any 8255 application.
Example: MVI A, 88H (Load desired Control Word into Accumulator)
OUT 83H (Output Accumulator content to CWR at address 83H)
Detailed Explanation
The final step in setting up the 8255 is writing the calculated Control Word into its Control Word Register (CWR). You accomplish this by writing a simple assembly program for the 8085 that performs these operations sequentially. The first instruction loads the Control Word into the accumulator, and the second instruction outputs this value to the CWR.
Examples & Analogies
This step is similar to sending an order to a restaurant. After deciding what you want to eat (calculating the Control Word), you tell the waiter your order (writing to the CWR). The waiter then takes your order to the kitchen, which is analogous to the port configurations activating based on your specifications.
