Chapter 11: Input/Output Organisation
Lesson 01:
Input-Output devices (Peripheral devices) and IO
organisation
Objective
• Learn about different I/O peripheral devices
used in a computer
• Understand how using memory mapped or
IO mapped organisation a processor accesses
and addresses the I/O peripheral devices

Division of I/O system organization into two
major components
1. The I/O devices themselves
2. The technologies used to interface the I/O
devices to the rest of the system

Deployment of the input-output subsystem
and IO bus(es) in a computer
• Processor must be able to send commands to the
I/O devices
• Read data from them
• Most systems use a mechanism called memory-
mapped I/O for this
• The processor interfaces I/O devices like a
memory

Processor access in memory mapped
organization
• By common buses, memory and common accessing
instructions for a memory location, and I/O device
registers

Processor access in IO mapped organization
• Special instructions to control I/O devices
• Separate control signals, which are issued when
processing instructions for the I/O operations
