FUNCTION
The PPI-X Port A Data Register is used to write or read 8 bit data to port A of the 82C55
Programmable Peripheral Interface device PPI-X.
The PPI can be configured to operate in several modes. Further details may be found by
reference to the device manufacturer's 82C55 data sheets in the appendices.
The eight data bits of port A are data input, data output or bi-directional data I/O according to the
PPI mode:
Mode 0 Input or Output
Mode 1 Input or Output
Mode 2 Bi-Directional Input/output
The modes and programming of PPI operations are outlined in chapters 4 and 6 with the Digital
I/O connections shown in chapter 3.
