Doubt using 82C55

Main Question or Discussion Point

I have a basic doubt about the usage pf 82C55.

Wanted to know when exactly it is used. Eg: For a keyboard you have to use a 82C55 but for a LCD it is not necessary. So when exactly do we use it??

Can you give us some links to application notes for that PPI part? What are your thoughts on when and why it is used?
