This document summarizes the organization and interfacing of input/output (I/O) subsystems in a computer. It discusses three main components: the CPU, memory, and I/O. The CPU communicates with memory and I/O devices via address, data, and control buses. There are two main methods for I/O access - memory mapped I/O, which treats devices as memory locations accessed via normal load/store instructions, and isolated I/O, which uses separate instructions. The document then describes the components and functioning of input, output, and bidirectional I/O modules.

Peter Nguyen General Information Computer generally consists of three subsystems Communication between subsystems by buses The processors sends out the address to be accessed in memory or the address of the I/O device via the address bus Data bus carries data between the subsystems Information sent on the control bus coordinates all data transfers The processor goes through an instruction cycle Fetch an instruction from memory, and decode the instruction, and execute the instruction
All instructions are fetched and decoded in the same way, but the execute cycle is different for every instruction Three Sections of the CPU
The register section, used for data storage The arithmetic/logic unit, performs computations on data with the CPU The control unit outputs signals to control the rest of the processor Types of Memory Chips
ROM, PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM are all read only memory chips (data does not change)
SRAM and DRAM, these are random access memory (data change or lost when the computer is turned off)
Two types of I/O access Memory mapped I/O
Treats I/O device as if it were a memory location The same instructions are used to access both memory and I/O devices, but memory and the I/O device cannot both use the same address Isolated I/O
Different instructions are used to access I/O devices and memory Requires an additional control line to distinguish between the two, but this allows memory and I/O devices to both use the same address Presentation Outline : Part I
Input Module Output Module Bi-directional Module An overall view within the organization of a simple computer
-Definition - _________________________ Memory is defined as homogeneous From the CPUs perspective, each location is read from and written to in exactly the same way Whats the correlation ? They are quite different but the comparisons is needed in order to understand the structure and organization of the computer Memory vs. I/O Every memory has a unique address
Each memory location is read from and written to in exactly the same way, performs the same function that is, its stores a data value or an instruction for use by the CPU Every I/O device has a unique address
Perform vastly different functions; even though, they are part of the same subsystem The major components of the Input Module
Input device (keyboard, mouse, ) Tri-state buffers Data bus
Enable logic (Address bus and Control Bus) An input device: (a) with its interface and (b) the enable logic for the tri-state buffers
The tri-state buffers are used in input device interfaces to make sure that no more than one device writes data to the bus at any time. What is Enable Logic ? Enable logic is the key to this design. Because of the unique address, enable logic must not enable the buffers unless it receives the correct address from the address bus. It must also get the correct control signals from the control bus. Components of the Output Module
Output device (monitor) Register Data bus
Enable Logic (Address bus and Control bus)
Output Device ___ The output devices read data from the bus, rather that write data to it, they do not need the buffers. The data can be made available to all output devices; only the device with the correct address will read it in. Load Logic In the Output Module the load logic plays the role of the enable logic in the input device interface. When this logic receives the correct address and control signals, it asserts the LD signal of the register, causing it to read data from the systems data bus. __ By doing so, the output device can then read the data from the register at its leisure while the CPU performs other tasks. Components of the bi-directional module
I/O device (hard disk drive) Two interfaces (one input, tri-state and one output, register) Logic elements (gates to check address on the address bus)
Bi-directional module I/O devices are much slower than CPUs and memory Timing problems exist when interacting with the CPU How does the CPU work around this processes ? Ready Normal inputs are high when the CPU outputs the address of the I/O device and the correct control signals, enabling the tri-state buffers of the I/O device interface, the I/O device sets READY low. The CPU reads this signal and continues to output the same address and control signals which cause the buffers to remain enabled. By having the extra clock cycles generated when READY is set low This is called wait states
Ready is good for small processes Many systems actually use the interrupts For larger computers
Interrupts
Direct memory access, DMA Interrupts Performs useful work while waiting for the much slower I/O devices Direct memory access (DMA) method used to bypass the CPU in the transferring process Building a Simple Computer
