data.
SOD (Serial output data line):
It is an output line through which the microprocessor sends output
serial data.
7. What is an Opcode?
The part of the instruction that specifies the operation to be performed is
called the operation code or opcode.
8. What is the function of IO/M signal in the 8085?
It is a status signal. It is used to differentiate between memory locations
and I/O operations. When this signal is low (IO/M = 0) it denotes the
memory related operations. When this signal is high (IO/M = 1) it denotes
an I/O operation.
9. What is an Operand?
The data on which the operation is to be performed is called as an
Operand.
10. How many operations are there in the instruction set of 8085
microprocessor?

• Branch group – JMP, JNZ, CALL.
• Stack I/O and Machine control group – PUSH, POP, IN, HLT.
12. Explain the difference between a JMP instruction and CALL instruction.
A JMP instruction permanently changes the program counter. A CALL
instruction leaves information on the stack so that the original program execution
sequence can be resumed.
13. Explain the purpose of the I/O instructions IN and OUT.
The IN instruction is used to move data from an I/O port into the
accumulator.
The OUT instruction is used to move data from the accumulator to an I/O
port.
The IN & OUT instructions are used only on microprocessor, which use a
separate address space for interfacing.
14. What is the difference between the shift and rotate instructions?
A rotate instruction is a closed loop instruction. That is, the data moved
out at one end is put back in at the other end. The shift instruction loses the data
that is moved out of the last bit locations.
15. How many address lines in a 4096 x 8 EPROM CHIP?
12 address lines.
16. Control signals used for DMA operation are ____________
HOLD & HLDA.
17. What is meant by Wait State?

The 8085 microprocessor has five interrupt inputs. They are TRAP, RST
7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5, and INTR. These interrupts have a fixed priority of
interrupt service.
If two or more interrupts go high at the same time, the 8085 will service
them on priority basis. The TRAP has the highest priority followed bye RST 7.5,
RST 6.5, RST 5.5. The priority of interrupts in 8085 is shown in the table.

perform these operations the microprocessor should
• Be able to select the chip
• Identify the register
• Enable the appropriate buffer
28. Define instruction cycle, machine cycle and T-state
Instruction cycle is defined, as the time required completing the execution
of an instruction. Machine cycle is defined as the time required completing one
operation of accessing memory, I/O or acknowledging an external request. Tcycle
is defined as one subdivision of the operation performed in one clock period
29. What is an instruction?
An instruction is a binary pattern entered through an input device to
command the microprocessor to perform that specific function
30. What is the use of ALE
The ALE is used to latch the lower order address so that it can be available
in T2 and T3 and used for identifying the memory address. During T1 the ALE
goes high, the latch is transparent ie, the output changes according to the input
data, so the output of the latch is the lower order address. When ALE goes low the
lower order address is latched until the next ALE.

32. Explain the signals HOLD, READY and SID
HOLD indicates that a peripheral such as DMA controller is requesting
the use of address bus, data bus and control bus. READY is used to delay the
microprocessor read or write cycles until a slow responding peripheral is ready to
send or accept data. SID is used to accept serial data bit by bit
33. Mention the categories of instruction and give two examples for each
category
The instructions of 8085 can be categorized into the following five
• Data transfer MOV Rd,Rs STA 16-bit

access the operands or data. The different types are as follows
• Immediate addressing
• Register addressing
• Direct addressing
• Indirect addressing
• Implicit addressing
37. What is the use of bi-directional buffers?
It is used to increase the driving capacity of the data bus. The data bus of a
microcomputer system is bi-directional, so it requires a buffer that allows the data
to flow in both directions.
38. Give the register organization of 8085
39. Define stack and explain stack related instructions
The stack is a group of memory locations in the R/W memory that is used
for the temporary storage of binary information during the execution of the
program. The stack related instructions are PUSH & POP
40. Why do we use XRA A instruction
The XRA A instruction is used to clear the contents of the Accumulator
and store the value 00H.
41. Compare CALL and PUSH instructions
CALL PUSH
When CALL is executed the
microprocessor automatically stores the
16-bit address of the instruction next to
CALL on the stack
The programmer uses the instruction
PUSH to save the contents of the register
pair on the stack
When CALL is executed the stack pointer

flags are S-Sign flag, Z-Zero flag, AC-Auxiliary carry flag, P-Parity flag, CYCarry
flag
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
S Z AC P CY
44. How does the microprocessor differentiate between data and instruction
When the first m/c code of an instruction is fetched and decoded in the
instruction register, the microprocessor recognizes the number of bytes required
to fetch the entire instruction. For example MVI A, Data, the second byte is
always considered as data. If the data byte is omitted by mistake whatever is in
that memory location will be considered as data & the byte after the “data” will be
treated as the next instruction.
45. Compare RET and POP
RET POP
RET transfers the contents of the top two
locations of the stack to the PC
POP transfers the contents of the top two
locations of the stack to the specified register
pair
When RET is executed the SP is incremented
by two
When POP is executed the SP is incremented
by two
Has 8 conditional RETURN instructions No conditional POP instructions
46. What is assembler
The assembler translates the assembly language program text which is given as input
to the assembler to their binary equivalents known as object code. The time required to
translate the assembly code to object code is called access time. The assembler checks for
syntax errors & displays them before giving the object code.
47. What is loader
The loader copies the program into the computer’s main memory at
load time and begins the program execution at execution time.
48. What is linker
A linker is a program used to join together several object files into one large object
file. For large programs it is more efficient to divide the large program modules into
smaller modules. Each module is individually written, tested & debugged. When all the
modules work they are linked together to form a large functioning program.
49. Explain ALIGN & ASSUME
The ALIGN directive forces the assembler to align the next segment at an address
divisible by specified divisor. The format is ALIGN number where number can be 2, 4, 8
or 16. Example ALIGN 8.
The ASSUME directive assigns a logical segment to a physical segment at any given
time. It tells the assembler what address will be in the segment registers at execution
time. Example ASSUME CS: code, DS: data, SS: stack
50. Explain PTR & GROUP
A program may contain several segments of the same type. The GROUP directive
collects them under a single name so they can reside in a single segment, usually a data
segment. The format is Name GROUP Seg-name,…..Seg-name
PTR is used to assign a specific type to a variable or a label. It is also used to
override the declared type of a variable.
51. Explain about MODEL
This directive provides short cuts in defining segments. It initializes memory model
before defining any segment. The memory model can be SMALL, MEDIUM,
COMPACT or LARGE.
Model Code segments Data segments
Small One One
Medium Multiple One
Compact One Multiple
Large Multiple Multiple
52. Explain PROC & ENDP
PROC directive defines the procedures in the program. The procedure name must be
unique. After PROC the term NEAR or FAR are used to specify the type of procedure.
Example FACT PROC FAR. ENDP is used along with PROC and defines the end of the
procedure.
53. Explain SEGMENT & ENDS
An assembly program in .EXE format consists of one or more segments. The starts of
these segments are defined by SEGMENT and the end of the segment is indicated by
ENDS directive. Format Name SEGMENT
Name ENDS
54. Explain TITLE & TYPE
The TITLE directive helps to control the format of a listing of an assembled program.
It causes a title for the program to print on line 2 of each page of the program listing.
Maximum 60 characters are allowed. Format TITLE text.
TYPE operator tells the assembler to determine the type of specified variable in
bytes. For bytes the assembler gives a value 1, for word 2 & double word 4.
55. Define SOP
The segment override prefix allows the programmer to deviate from the default
segment
Eg : MOV CS : [BX] , AL
56. Define variable
A variable is an identifier that is associated with the first byte of data item. In
assembly language statement: COUNT DB 20H, COUNT is the variable.
57. What are procedures
Procedures are a group of instructions stored as a separate program in memory and it
is called from the main program whenever required. The type of procedure depends on
where the procedures are stored in memory. If it is in the same code segment as that of
the main program then it is a near procedure otherwise it is a far procedure.
58. Explain the linking process
A linker is a program used to join together several object files into one large object
file. The linker produces a link file which contains the binary codes for all the combined
modules. It also produces a link map which contains the address information about the
link files. The linker does not assign absolute addresses but only relative address starting
from zero, so the programs are relocatable & can be put anywhere in memory to be run.
59. Explain about passing parameters using registers with example
Procedures process some data or address variable from the main program, for
processing it is necessary to pass the address variables or data. This is called passing
parameters to procedures. In passing parameters using registers the data to be passed is
stored in registers & these registers are accessed in the procedure to process the data.
CODE SEGMENT
MOV AL, DATA
CALL PRO1
PRO1 PROC NEAR
MOV INPUT, AL
RET
PRO1 ENDP
CODE ENDS
60. What is recursive procedures
A recursive procedure is a procedure, which calls itself. Recursive procedures are
used to work with complex data structures called trees. If the procedure is called with
N=3, then the N is decremented by 1 after each procedure CALL and the procedure is
called until N=0.
61. What are libraries
Library files are collection of procedures that can be used in other programs. These
procedures are assembled and compiled into a library file by the LIB program. The
library file is invoked when a program is linked with linker program. when a library file
is linked only the required procedures are copied into the program. Use of library files
increase s/w reusability & reduce s/w development time.
62. What are Macros
Macro is a group of instruction. The macro assembler generates the code in the
program each time where the macro is called. Macros are defined by MACRO & ENDM
directives. Creating macro is similar to creating new opcodes that can be used in the
program
INIT MACRO
MOV AX, data
MOV DS
MOV ES, AX
ENDM
63. How do 8086 interrupts occur
An 8086 interrupt can come from any of the following three sources

• Condition produced by instruction
64. What are the 8086 interrupt types
Dedicated interrupts
• Type 0: Divide by zero interrupt
• Type 1: Single step interrupt
• Type 2:Non maskable interrupt
• Type 3: Breakpoint
• Type 4: Overflow interrupt
Software interrupts
• Type 0-255
65. What is interrupt service routine
Interrupt means to break the sequence of operation. While the CPU is executing a
program an interrupt breaks the normal sequence of execution of instructions & diverts
its execution to some other program. This program to which the control is transferred is
called the interrupt service routine.
66. Define BIOS
The IBM PC has in its ROM a collection of routines, each of which performs some
specific function such as reading a character from keyboard, writing character to CRT.
This collection of routines is referred to as Basic Input Output System or BIOS.
67. Explain PUBLIC
For large programs several small modules are linked together. In order that the
modules link together correctly any variable name or label referred to in other modules
must be declared public in the module where it is defined. The PUBLIC directive is used
to tell the assembler that a specified name or label will be accessed from other modules.
Format PUBLIC Symbol.
68. Explain DUP
The DUP directive can be used to initialize several locations & to assign values to
these locations. Format Name Data_Type Num DUP (value)
Example TABLE DW 10 DUP (0). Reserves an array of 10 words of memory and
initializes all 10 words with 0. array name is TABLE.
69. Compare Procedure & Macro
Procedure Macro
Accessed by CALL & RET instruction Accessed during assembly with name given
during program execution to macro when defined
Machine code for instruction is put only once
in the memory
Machine code is generated for instruction
each time when macro is called
With procedures less memory is required With macro more memory is required
Parameters can be passed in registers,
memory locations or stack
Parameters passed as part of statement which
calls macro
70. What is the purpose of segment registers in 8086?
There are 4 segment registers present in 8086. They are
1. Code Segment (CS ) register
2. Data Segment (DS ) register
3. Stack Segment (SS ) register
4. Extra Segment (ES ) register
The code segment register gives the address of the current code segment. ie.
It will points out where the instructions, to be executed, are stored in the memory.
The data segment register points out where the operands are stored in the
memory.
The stack segment registers points out the address of the current stack, which
is used to store the temporary results.
If the amount of data used is more the Extra segment register points out
where the large amount of data is stored in the memory.
71. Define pipelining?
In 8086, to speedup the execution of program, the instructions fetching and
execution of instructions are overlapped each other. This technique is known as
pipelining.
In pipelining, when the n th instruction is executed, the n+1 th instruction is
fetched and thus the processing speed is increased.
72. Discuss the function of instruction queue in 8086?
In 8086, a 6-byte instruction queue is presented at the Bus Interface Unit
(BIU). It is used to prefetch and store at the maximum of 6 bytes of instruction
code from the memory. Due to this, overlapping instruction fetch with instruction
execution increases the processing speed.
73. What is the maximum memory size that can be addressed by 8086?
In 8086, an memory location is addressed by 20 bit address and the address
bus is 20 bit address and the address bus is 20 bits. So it can address up to one mega
byte (2^20) of memory space.
74. What is the function of the signal in 8086?
BHE signal means Bus High Enable signal. The BHE signal is made low when
there is some read or write operation is carried out. ie . When ever the data bus of
the system is busy i.e. whenever there is some data transfer then the BHE signal is
made low.
75.What are the predefined interrupts in 8086?
The various predefined interrupts are,
DIVISION BY ZERO (type 0) Interrupt.

Based Indexed addressing modes
String addressing modes
(c) I/O addressing modes
Direct addressing mode
Indirect addressing mode
(d) Relative addressing mode
(e) Implied addressing mode
78. How single stepping can be done in 8086?
By setting the Trace Flag (TF) the 8086 goes to single-step mode. In this mode, after
the execution of each instruction s 8086 generates an internal interrupt and by writing
some interrupt service routine we can display the content of desired registers and
memory locations. So it is useful for debugging the program.
79. State the significance of LOCK signal in 8086?
If 8086 is working at maximum mode, there are multiprocessors are
present. If the system bus is given to a processor then the LOCK signal is made
low. That means the system bus is busy and it cannot be given of any other
processors. After the use of the system bus again the LOCK signal is made high.
That means it is ready to give the system bus to any processor.
80. What are the functions of bus interface unit (BIU) in 8086?
(a) Fetch instructions from memory.
(b) Fetch data from memory and I/O ports.
(c) Write data to memory and I/O ports.

i. Minimum mode (or) Uniprocessor system
ii. Maximum mode (or) Multiprocessor system
84. Explain the process control instructions
STC – It sets the carry flag & does not affect any other flag
CLC – it resets the carry flag to zero &does not affect any other flag
CMC – It complements the carry flag & does not affect any other flag
STD – It sets the direction flag to 1 so that SI and/or DI can be decremented
automatically after execution of string instruction & does not affect other flags
CLD – It resets the direction flag to 0 so that SI and/or DI can be incremented
automatically after execution of string instruction & does not affect other flags
STI – Sets the interrupt flag to 1. Enables INTR of 8086.
CLI – Resets the interrupt flagto0. 8086 will not respond to INTR.
85. Explain REPEAT-UNTIL statements
REPEAT-UNTIL statements allow executing a series of instructions repeatedly until
some condition occurs. The REPEAT defines the start of the loop & UNTIL the end of
the loop. UNTIL has a condition when the condition is true the loop is terminated
86. What is multiprogramming?
If more than one process is carried out at the same time, then it is know as
multiprogramming. Another definition is the interleaving of CPU and I/O
operations among several programs is called multiprogramming.
To improve the utilization of CPU and I/O devices, we are designing to
process a set of independent programs concurrently by a single CPU.
This technique is known as multiprogramming
87. Differentiate between absolute and linear select decoding?
Absolute decoding Linear decoding
All higher address lines are defined
to select the memory or I/O device
Few higher address lines are
decoded to select the memory or I/O
device
More h/w is required to design

91. What is the use of 8251 chip?
Intel’s 8251A is a universal synchronous asynchronous receiver and transmitter
compatible with Intel’s Processors. This may be programmed to operate in
any of the serial communication modes built into it. This chip converts the
parallel data into a serial stream of bits suitable for serial transmission. It is also
able to receive a serial stream of bits and converts it into parallel data bytes to be
read by a microprocessor.
92.What are the different types of methods used for data transmission?
The data transmission between two points involves unidirectional or
bi-directional transmission of meaningful digital data through a medium. There are
basically there modes of data transmission
(a) Simplex
(b) Duplex
(c) Half Duplex
In simplex mode, data is transmitted only in one direction over a single communication
channel.For example, a computer (CPU) may transmit data for a CRT display unit in this
mode.
In duplex mode, data may be transferred between two transreceivers in both directions
simultaneously.
In half duplex mode, on the other hand, data transmission may take pace in either
direction, but at a time data may be transmitted only in one direction. For example, a
computer may communicate with a terminal in this mode. When the terminal sends data
(i.e. terminal is sender). The message is received by the computer (i.e the computer is
receiver). However, it is not possible to transmit data from the computer to terminal and
from terminal to the computer simultaneously.
93.What are the various programmed data transfer methods?
ii) Synchronous data transfer
iii) Asynchronous data transfer
iv) Interrupt driven data transfer
94. What is synchronous data transfer?
It is a data method which is used when the I/O device and the microprocessor
match in speed. To transfer a data to or from the device, the user program issues
a suitable instruction addressing the device. The data transfer is completed at the
end of the execution of this instruction.
95. What is asynchronous data transfer?
It is a data transfer method which is used when the speed of an I/O device
does not match with the speed of the microprocessor. Asynchronous data transfer is
also called as Handshaking.
96. What are the functional types used in control words of 8251a?
The control words of 8251A are divided into two functional types.
1. Mode Instruction control word
2. Command Instruction control word
Mode Instruction control word :-This defines the general operational
characteristics of 8251A.
Command Instruction control word:-The command instruction controls the
actual operations of the selected format like enable transmit/receive, error reset and
modem control.
97. What are the basic modes of operation of 8255?
There are two basic modes of operation of 8255, viz.
1. I/O mode.
3. BSR mode.
In I/O mode, the 8255 ports work as programmable I/O ports, while
In BSR mode only port C (PC0-PC7) can be used to set or reset its individual
port bits. Under the IO mode of operation, further there are three modes of operation of 8
255, So as to support different types of applications, viz. mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2.
Mode 0 - Basic I/O mode
Mode 1 - Strobed I/O mode
Mode 2 - Strobed bi-directional I/O
98. Write the features of mode 0 in 8255?
1. Two 8-bit ports (port A and port B) and two 4-bit ports (port C upper and lower)
are available. The two 4-bit ports can be combined used as a third 8-bit port.
2. Any port can be used as an input or output port.
3.Output ports are latched. Input ports are not latched.
4. A maximum of four ports are available so that overall 16 I/O configurations are
possible.
