Intel 8255A, the Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) interfaces the peripheral components to the system bus for parallel data transfer. It is a general-purpose input/output device that can be used with almost all microprocessors. It can be used to transfer data under various conditions from simple input/output to interrupt input/output.
