2.5. Peripheral Interface Adapter (8255)
Peripheral interface adapters are used to make a interface
between the CPU and the peripheral devices. It is also known as
I/O (Input / output) port. Because the CPU uses these devices to get input or give output to the external devices like printer,
modem, mouse etc.
For example the Intel 8255A is a general-purpose programmable
I/O device designed to use with Intel microprocessors. It has 24
I/O pins, which can be individually programmed in groups of
individual sizes.
2.6. Timer (8253)
You may have noticed that when the computer is off, its time
counting is not off. The timer IC does this operation. It keeps the
timing information of the computer continuously even if the
computer is off. It is battery operated when the computer off. It has
several counters, which counts the clock pulses generated by an
external oscillator. As this timer IC is connected with the CPU
through the data bus so the CPU can collect the counted value of
clock pulses from the IC and convert the clock pulse count to
seconds and minutes.
The Intel 8253 is programmable counter/timer device designed for
use as an Intel microcomputer peripheral. It is organized as 3
independent 16-bit counters, each with a count rate of up to 2.6
MHz.
2.7. Floppy Disk Controller Chip (8272)
Whenever a computer wants to interface with an outside device, it
needs a controller board to act as a “go-between” to allow the
outside device-a floppy, in this case-to talk with the CPU. XT-type
machines generally had a separate controller board. AT-type
machines usually put the floppy and hard disk controller function
on the same board. Some motherboards (PS/2s, in particular) put
the floppy controller function right on the motherboard.
On most modern clones, the floppy controller is integrated on a
single add-in card that serves as floppy controller, dual serial port,
parallel port, joystick interface, and IDE host adapter.
Whether your floppy controller is a separate board, part of the
floppy/hard disk controller, or integrated into the motherboard, the
main chip on a floppy controller board is probably the Zilog 765,
NEC 765, or Intel 8272.
