The document discusses the 8155 Programmable Interface Adapter chip. It can be used to interface I/O devices to a microprocessor like the 8085. The 8155 has programmable I/O ports, a timer, and memory. It is programmed by writing control words to its control register. An example is given of using an 8155 to read temperature data from an ADC and display it on LEDs using handshaking between the 8155 and ADC ports. Pseudocode is provided to initialize the 8155 ports and timer, trigger ADC conversions, read the temperature values, and continuously display updated values.
