Algorithm for Interfacing of PPI Devices by Using 8088 Microprocessor

Presently Micro-controller (MCU) is being widely used in almost every field of science and engineering. The knowledge of MCU, which was once the monopoly of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, has now a demand for the people of all science and engineering disciplines. It is also the requirement of ABET that engineering students must demonstrate a knowledge of data acquisition, processing and control in which use of computers, Microprocessors are essential [1]. Therefore, a strong curriculum surrounding MCUs at various levels of education are being introduced in different Universities, Colleges and Schools [2-3]. For successful implementation of MCU courses in all required levels of education, it is essential to have suitable EduKits for teaching and learning micro-controller programming as well as for real time application development [4-5]. Different types of training tool for micro-controller teaching and learning are available in the market from different Microprocessor manufacturing companies as well as from third party companies [6]. For example: Motorolla, Intel, microchip, Zilog, Atmel etc. offer Microprocessor training board with different features.
