Questions answered in these manuals
Is the 82C55A pin compatible with the NMOS 8255A?
Yes, the 82C55A is pin compatible with the NMOS 8255A.
What happens when the RESET pin is driven high?
A high on RESET initializes the control register to 9Bh and sets all ports (A, B, C) to input mode.
How many programmable I/O pins does the 82C55A have?
The 82C55A provides 24 programmable I/O pins.
What is the standby power consumption of the 82C55A?
The standby power (ICCSB) is 0.10 µA.
What happens to the address lines when a READ or WRITE signal falls on the 51864 mask version?
A falling edge on the READ or WRITE signal disables further changes on the address lines (AO and A1) during the operation.
