E.g. 8085, 8086, 8255, 8051, 6800, 8257, 8251 and many more...
Its a Programmable Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller.
Neither the 8155 nor the 8255 are considered to be microprocessors. The 8155 is an integrated RAM, IO, and Timer device designed for the 8085. The 8255 is an Programmable IO controller.
8237 provides better performance, compared to 8257. The distinctive feature of 8237 chip is that it provides, many programmable control and dynamic reconfigurability features which enhance the data transfer rate of the system remarkably
The old workhorse 8255 PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interface) is a good place to start.
8255 is a programmable peripheral device, a chip used to control peripheral devices connected to/with in a computer in the 8086 based machines. It's a general purpose i/o controller, produced by Intel. More details: http://www.electronics.dit.ie/staff/tscarff/8255PPI/8255.htm http://www.wantronix.de/pdf/decision/8255pci.pdf
The 8257 is a three channel DMA controller.
hi,dear u can increase the i/p, o/p number of ports by interfacing it with chip 8255,, that's the main idea, further how to interface it with the processor (preferably 8086),,,u must have a look of configuration and working of 8255,, for that you can chek this follow this linkhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/24040301/8255-Programmable-Peripheral-InterfaceRegards: Badeekh Akbar.
It is an IC ie. 8255. it is used with in a combination with a microprocessor for the application of complex control algorithms. it is used coz of incapability of a micro-controller to achieve the same.....
