Application Programming Logic
1. Configure 8155
2. 8085 sends SOC command to ADC
3. 8085 communicates with ADC using
PortC in handshake mode
4. 8085 reads 8-bit temperature value from
port A
5. 8085 displays the temperature value on
the LED display
1. Configure 8155 I/O Ports
Port A as INPUT port
Port B as OUTPUT

3. 8085 communicates with ADC
using Port C in handshake mode
Port A used to input 8-bit data from ADC
Port C used for handshaking
ALT D3 D2 PC5 PC4 PC3 PC2 PC1 PC0
ALT3 1 0 O O O STBA BFA INTRA
EOC OE
ADC resets EOC to LOW at end of
conversion
8155 sets BF to 1 to enable ADC output latch
8085 is waiting for BF to be SET to 1 and
Reads port A by making RD signal active (0)
At the end of read cycle RD goes HIGH (1)
This resets BF signal to 0.
8085 waits for BF signal to be RESET and
starts conversion process again
8085 is waiting for BF
To know the status of BF signal 8085 reads
status register of 8155
