Today, we're diving into I/O instructions of the 8085 microprocessor. Who can tell me what I/O stands for?
Input/Output?
Exactly! I/O refers to the way a microprocessor interacts with external devices. The 8085 supports unique port addresses for these operations. Can anyone guess how many unique I/O addresses it supports?
Is it 256, sir?
Correct! It supports addresses from 00H to FFH. Now, can anyone explain how we input data from an I/O port?
You use the IN instruction.
Right! The syntax is IN Port_Adr. For example, IN 05H reads data from port 05H into the accumulator. Let's remember: 'I in the accumulator'. What do you think the OUT instruction does?
It sends data to an I/O port.
Exactly! The syntax is OUT Port_Adr. Well done everyone! Letβs recap. We learned that I/O instructions help the 8085 interact with external devices through specific addresses using IN and OUT.

Letβs discuss real examples. If I say 'IN 05H', what is happening in the microprocessor?
It reads 8 bits from port 05H into the accumulator.
Correct! Now, what about 'OUT 0AH'?
We send the accumulator content to port 0AH.
Exactly! Can someone tell me the importance of these instructions in a practical context?
They allow the microprocessor to interact with hardware like keyboards, displays, and sensors.
Well said! Such interactions are essential for computer applications. Remember, I/O instructions are the gateways for data transfer between the microprocessor and its environment.
So, without these instructions, the microprocessor wouldnβt communicate with external devices?
Absolutely! Thatβs the key takeaway for today. Letβs summarize: The IN instruction reads from a port to the accumulator, and the OUT instruction sends data from the accumulator to a port.
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
This section details the I/O instruction set of the 8085 microprocessor, including how to read data from an input port and output data to an output port. The section also describes the two types of I/O addressing: memory-mapped I/O and I/O-mapped I/O.
Detailed
I/O Instructions
The 8085 microprocessor uses special instructions to facilitate communication with external devices through I/O ports. This section highlights the key aspects of these I/O instructions, which are essential for enabling data transfer between the internal accumulator and I/O ports. The two types of I/O addressing are identified: memory-mapped I/O and I/O-mapped I/O. In the 8085 architecture, a total of 256 unique I/O port addresses are supported (from 00H to FFH).
Input from Port
- IN Port_Adr: This instruction allows the microprocessor to read an 8-bit byte from a specified port address and store it in the accumulator. For example,
IN 05Hreads data from I/O port address 05H into the accumulator.
Output to Port
- OUT Port_Adr: This instruction is used to send the contents of the accumulator to a specified 8-bit port address. For instance,
OUT 0AHsends the data from the accumulator to I/O port address 0AH.
Understanding I/O instructions is critical for working with input and output devices, allowing for interaction with peripheral systems.

Chapter Content
These instructions are used to transfer data between the Accumulator and an I/O port. The 8085 uses memory-mapped I/O or I/O-mapped I/O. It supports 256 unique I/O port addresses (from 00H to FFH).
Detailed Explanation
The I/O instructions of the 8085 microprocessor facilitate communication between the processor and peripheral devices (like keyboards, printers, etc.). Each device has an I/O port, which is like an address for the device. The 8085 can work with these devices using specific addresses from 00H to FFH. The term 'memory-mapped I/O' indicates that I/O devices are treated like memory locations, allowing the CPU to access them in a similar way by using read and write commands.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine your computer's USB ports as specific addresses for different devices like a mouse, keyboard, or printer. Just as you can use a different address to send data to each device, the 8085 can send data to a specified I/O port. For instance, when you click a key on the keyboard, the signal is sent via its dedicated address, similar to the I/O instructions used in the microprocessor.

Chapter Content
Input from Port:
- IN Port_Adr: Read an 8-bit byte from the specified 8-bit Port_Adr and store it in the Accumulator.
Numerical Example: IN 05H. Reads data from I/O port address 05H into Accumulator A.
Detailed Explanation
The IN instruction allows the processor to receive data from an I/O port. When the instruction 'IN Port_Adr' is executed, the 8085 reads an 8-bit byte from the specified port address and places that byte into the Accumulator, which is the main register for data storage during processing. This allows the CPU to use the data it receives for further operations.
Examples & Analogies
If you consider a vending machine, the input port might be likened to a button you press to get a snack. When you press the button (IN command), the machine retrieves the snack (data) and stores it in a designated area (the Accumulator) for your later enjoyment.
Output to Port

Chapter Content
Output to Port:
- OUT Port_Adr: Send the content of the Accumulator to the specified 8-bit Port_Adr.
Numerical Example: OUT 0AH. Sends data from Accumulator A to I/O port address 0AH.
Detailed Explanation
The OUT instruction enables the processor to send data out to an I/O port. When 'OUT Port_Adr' is executed, the CPU transfers the data currently in the Accumulator to the specified port address. This data could be anything from character outputs to control signals for devices like monitors or printers.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the OUT instruction as sending a letter to a friend. Just like putting a letter into a mailbox (the OUT command) to deliver a message to your friend's address (the port), the CPU sends data from the Accumulator to the specified I/O port for output operations.
