This document discusses input/output interfaces in microprocessor systems. It begins by introducing I/O interfaces and their purpose of enabling communication between microprocessors and peripheral devices like keyboards, displays and printers. It then describes two common approaches to I/O - isolated I/O which uses separate I/O instructions, and memory-mapped I/O which treats I/O devices as memory locations. The document proceeds to discuss I/O instructions, providing examples for 8088 and 80x86 processors. It also discusses implementing I/O in high-level languages like Pascal, Delphi, C/C++ using inline assembly instructions. Finally, it provides examples of simple I/O circuits and software to interface switches and LED
