Name and Function
I O PORT A PINS 0 – 3 Lower nibble of an 8-bit data output latch
buffer and an 8-bit data input latch
I READ CONTROL This input is low during CPU read operations
I CHIP SELECT A low on this input enables the 82C55A to
respond to RD and WR signals RD and WR are ignored
otherwise
System Ground
I ADDRESS These input signals in conjunction RD and WR
control the selection of one of the three ports or the control
word registers

I O PORT C PINS 4 – 7 Upper nibble of an 8-bit data output latch
buffer and an 8-bit data input buffer (no latch for input) This port
can be divided into 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 outputs and status signal inputs in conjunction with ports
A and B
I O PORT C PINS 0 – 3 Lower nibble of Port C
I O PORT B PINS 0 – 7 An 8-bit data output latch buffer and an 8-
bit data input buffer
SYSTEM POWER a 5V Power Supply
I O DATA BUS Bi-directional tri-state data bus lines connected to
system data bus
I RESET A high on this input clears the control register and all
ports are set to the input mode
I WRITE CONTROL This input is low during CPU write
operations
I O PORT A PINS 4 – 7 Upper nibble of an 8-bit data output latch
buffer and an 8-bit data input latch
No Connect
