This document discusses interfacing a matrix keyboard with a microprocessor and using a Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) 8255 chip. It describes how a matrix keyboard with 4 rows and 4 columns can be interfaced using only one input and output port on a microprocessor like the 8085. Even with a larger 8x8 matrix, only one input and output port would be needed. It then describes the PPI 8255 chip, which has 3 8-bit I/O ports that can be programmed for input or output. The ports and their modes can be selected using control lines and writing a control word to the chip's control register.

Course Title: Microprocessor and its Application Paper: CMS-A-CC-4-10-TH Unit: Interfacing Peripheral Devices and Applications Semester: 4th Semester Name of the Teacher: Amitava Biswas Name of the Department: Computer Science In a matrix keyboard there are keys which are arranged in the form of a matrix which consists of several rows and columns. In the figure which is stated below significantly indicates the interfacing process of a matrix keyboard which consists four rows and four columns respectively. We connect a key at the intersection of every rows and columns. Hence there is a total of 4 × 4 = 16 keys in the given matrix. The lines of the columns get connected to Gnd through pull-down resistors.
Even there is a matrix size were to be 8 × 8, for a sum total of 64 keys, only one output port and one input port would be sufficient. The processor sends logic 1 on row 0 by the other row results in exit of logic 0 carried by the instructions MVI A, 00000001B OUT PC Then the processor will start to read the input port. Presently, according to the given Byte pattern, logic 1 is sent out only on row 0. But no key is pressed on this row. As such, the input port receives the value 0000 from the keyboard because of the pull-down resistors as shown in the circuit diagram. The reader might think about the key 9 that is pressed on row 2. But logic 0 is sent out presently on row 2. Hence only logic 0 is received on column 1 via the pressed key. The processor compares the value that is read from the input port with 0000. If both are same, it means that no key is pressed on row 0. And in this way, all rows will get scanned one after another till the last row to detect the actual key pressed. Thus the keyboard will get interfaced by the 8085 microprocessor.
Programmable peripheral interface 8255
PPI 8255 is a general purpose programmable I/O device designed to interface the CPU with its outside world such as ADC, DAC, keyboard etc. We can program it according to the given condition. It can be used with almost any microprocessor.
It consists of three 8-bit bidirectional I/O ports i.e. PORT A, PORT B and PORT C. We can assign different ports as input or output functions.
Block diagram –
It consists of 40 pins and operates in +5V regulated power supply. Port C is
further divided into two 4-bit ports i.e. port C lower and port C upper and port C can work in either BSR (bit set rest) mode or in mode 0 of input-output mode of 8255. Port B can work in either mode or in mode 1 of input-output mode. Port A can work either in mode 0, mode 1 or mode 2 of input-output mode.
It has two control groups, control group A and control group B. Control group A consist of port A and port C upper. Control group B consists of port C lower and port B. Depending upon the value if CS’, A1 and A0 we can select different ports in different modes as input-output function or BSR. This is done by writing a suitable word in control register (control word D0-D7).
