The control word written to the CNFG Register to configure portB for
input in mode1 is shown as follows. Notice that port B does not have
extra input or output lines left from portC when ports A and B are both
enabled for handshaking.
During a mode 1 data read transfer, the status of the handshaking lines
and interrupt signals can be obtained by reading port C. The portC
status-word bit definitions for an input transfer are shown as follows.
Port C status-word bit definitions for input (port A and port B):
Bit Name Description
7–6 I/O Input/Output—These bits can be used for general-
purpose I/O when port A is in mode 1 input. If these
bits are configured for output, the port C bit set/reset
function must be used to manipulate them.
5 IBFA Input Buffer for Port A—A high setting indicates that
data has been loaded into the input latch for port A.
4 INTEA Interrupt Enable Bit for PortA—Setting this bit
enables interrupts from portA of the 82C55A. This bit
is controlled by setting/resetting PC4.
3 INTRA Interrupt Request Status for PortA—When INTEA
and IBFA are high, this bit is high, indicating that an
interrupt request is pending for portA.
2 INTEB Interrupt Enable Bit for PortB—Setting this bit
enables interrupts from portB of the 82C55A. This bit
is controlled by setting/resetting PC2.
1 IBFB Input Buffer for Port B—A high setting indicates that
data has been loaded into the input latch for port B.
