KEYBOARD DESCRIPTION:
Vinytics 8085 kit has 28 keys and six-seven segment display to communicate with the outside world. As
kit is switched ON ,a message –‘ESA85’ is displayed on the display and all keys are in command mode.
The keyboard is as shown below:
• RESET:- Reset the system.
• VCT INT:- Hardware interrupt via keyboard, RST 7.5.
• SHIFT:- Provides a second level command to all keys.
• GO:- To execute a program.
• SI:- To execute the program on single step mode.
• EXREG:- EXAMINE REGISTER; allows user to examine and modify the contents of different
register.
• PRE:- Previous is used as an intermediate terminator in case of examine memory.
• DEL:- DELETE the part of the program or data with relocation, by one or more bytes.
• INS:- Inserts the part of the program or data with relocation, by one or more bytes.
• B.M:- BLOCK MOVE allows user to move a block of memory to any RAM area.
• FILL:- Allows user to fill RAM area with a constant.
• REL:- RELOCATES a program written for some memory area and to be transferred to other
memory area.

• APPARATUS- 8085 microprocessor kit ,8253 interfacing card , connecting leads, 50 pin FRC cable
and CRO.
• DIAGRAM:

CRO

Microprocessor

• THEORY- 8253 is named as programmable interval Timer. So it consist of three identical 16 bit
counter or Timer. These Timer/counter can work as counter or can provide accurate time delay.The
8253 can be used in 6 modes as given below:
MODE 0 : Interrupt on terminal count.
MODE 1 : Programmable line-shot.
MODE 2 : Pulse generator.
MODE 3 : Squarewave generator.
MODE 4 : Software triggered strobe.
MODE 5 : Hardware triggered strobe.

To generate the square wave 8253 is operated in mode 3. Counter 0 can be used for this purpose.
The count value which should be loaded in counter 0 to generate the square wave of 1ms can be calculated
as:

Each counter of 8253 is to be initialized separately by transferring separate control word for each counter to
control word register.

➢ SC1 and SC0 are used for selecting the counter.

➢ RL1 & RL2 are used to select counter Read Load Operation.
➢ The M2, M1 and M0 are for mode selection.
➢ D0 bit is used to select type of counter i.e BCD or Binary Counter.
To generate square wave with the help of 8253, required control word is 00110111 = 37H. The port address

Unique interrupt signal is generated by each keyboard entry.
The 8279 can be used in two modes: .
A) 2-KEY LOCKOUT
B) N-KEY ROLLOVER
A) 2-Key lockout:- In this mode the key must be relased before another key press. Code of that key will
store to the FIFO RAM.
B) N-Key rollover:- In this mode if 2 keys are pressed simultaneously both keys are recognized and
their codes are stored to internal buffer in order in which they were pressed. We will use polling to read
the keycode from the 8279 FIFO whenever the key is pressed. Here , the keys are named such that
keycodes will be equl to their hex value i.e. keycode of the key E is 0EH. The position of the key in the
keyboard matrix decides its key code. Key ‘2’ is placed at the junction of the row 0 and column 2. Hence
its code will be 02H as calculated below:
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
CNTL & Shift Key Status Row Code Return Code
Which is equal to (00000010) = 02H

Interfacing details: 8- Return Lines (RL0 – RL7 ) of 8279 are connected to the columns of matrix
keyboard and output lines (A0- A3 and B0 – B3) are connected to drive the LED segments. 3 – scan lines
( SL0 – SL2 ) are connected to the decoder ( 74LS156) , to generate 8 – decoded signals. 6 output lines of
the decoder are connected to six seven segment LEDS. Two output lines of the decoder are not used.

PROCEDURE:-
1) Connect the 8279 peripheral card to the 8085 kit by 50 pin.
2) Keep the switch S1 in OFF position to enable single stepping.
3) Now ON the kit and enter the program as given for each experiment starting address for
entering the program is 8000H
4) Steps to enter the program:-
• Switch on the power supply and kit will display “ESA8085”.
• Press reset ~ examine memory ~ program starting memory address ~ next ~ opcode ~ next
and so on ESAto the end of program opcodes
• To execute the program press Reset ~ go ~ starting address ~ending address~ execute buttons
• To check the result press Reset ~ examine memory ~Memory address(where the result has
been stored in program) ~Next.

RESULT: We have seen the Hex code of the key pressed from matrix keyboard on display
