Study Notes

I/O Devices and Basic Hardware for Interfacing Circuitry

  • Plug-in cards are commonly used to provide more ports for interfacing with external devices.
  • Ports that interface with slower devices than the main processor do not have issues with slower data transfer.
  • Intel architecture uses 16 bit addressing for I/O, but only 10 address pins are used to reduce hardware decoding requirements.
  • Buffers are TTL ICs that allow a signal to pass through without altering the logic value of the signal, increasing the DC drive characteristics of the signal.
  • Buffers isolate the microprocessor from any outside signals and prevent damage to it from changes in voltage along signal lines.
  • Two types of buffers exist: one-in one-out buffers and Tri-state buffers that have an additional control signal and turn output into a high-impedance state when de-activated.
  • Tri-state buffers are useful in circuits that only allow the passage of signals when a particular state is active, while bi-directional buffers allow control over the direction of data flow.
  • Latches are mainly made up of D-type flip-flops that hold a signal until another strobed signal is applied or power is removed.
  • Latches hold a signal at a particular logic level until a change is requested, making them preferred over buffers in situations where the receiving end requires more time to process the signal.
  • Latches can be level-triggered or edge-triggered, with edge-triggered latches used to avoid ambiguity.
  • Basic input ports are tri-state buffers connected to a data bus line, with the control signal usually a combination of _IORD and the selected port address obtained using address decoding.
  • Basic output ports are latches that hold data until the device is ready to read it, with the control signal usually a combination of _IOW and the selected port address obtained using address decoding.
