The document describes an 8085 microprocessor tutorial on interrupts. It contains questions about interrupt handling, the stack, and a breakpoint routine example. Specifically:
1) It asks true/false questions about interrupt acknowledgement and disabling.
2) Given a main program and subroutine, it asks about stack contents after a CALL, and locations where registers are stored during an interrupt.
3) For a program with a breakpoint routine, it asks about stack contents, register locations, stack pointer value, and return address.

EE309 Computer Organization, Architecture and Microprocessors: Tutorial Sheet IV The 8085: Interrupts
1. Gaonkar 4Ed., Chapter 12
Check whether the following statements are true or false: (a) If the 8085 microprocessor is interrupted while executing a 3-byte instruction (assuming the interrupt is enabled), the processor will acknowledge the interrupt request immediately, even before the com- pletion of the interrupt. (b) When an 8085 system is reset, all interrupts including the TRAP are disabled. (c) When the 8085 microprocessor acknowledges an interrupt, it disables the interrupt system (except TRAP). (d) If the instruction RST 4 is written in a program, the program will jump to location 0020h without any external hardware. 2. Gaonkar 4Ed., Chapter 12 The main program is stored beginning at 0100h. The main program at 0120h has called the subroutine at 0150h, and when the microprocessor is executing the instruction at 0151h (LXI), it is interrupted: start: 0100h LXI SP, 0400h 0103h EI ··· 0120h CALL 0150h ··· sub: 0150h PUSH B 0151h LXI B, 10FFh 0154h MOV C, A ··· 015Eh POP B 015Fh RET
(a) Specify the contents of stack location 03FFh after the CALL instruc- tion. (b) Specify the stack locations where the contents of registers B and C are stored. (c) When the program is interrupted, what is the memory address stored on the stack ?
A program is stored in memory from 2000h to 205Fh. To check the first segment of the program up to location 2025h, a breakpoint routine call is inserted at location 2026h. The breakpoint routine is as follows: breakpoint: PUSH PSW ; Save registers PUSH B PUSH D PUSH H keycheck: CALL keyboard ; Check for a key CPI 0Ah ; Is it key A ? JNZ zero key ; If not, check Zero key LXI H, 0007h ; Load Stack Pointer displacement count DAD SP ; Place memory address of (A) in HL MOV A, M OUT port 1 ; Display Accumulator contents DCX H ; Point HL to the location of the flags MOV A, M OUT port 2 ; Display flags JMP keycheck ; Go back and check the next key zero key: CPI 00h ; Is it the Zero key ? JNZ keycheck ; If not, go and check key program POP H ; Retrieve registers POP D POP B POP PSW RET If the stack pointer is initialized at 2099h, answer the following questions: (a) Specify the contents of memory locations 2098h and 2097h. (b) Specify the memory locations where the accumulator contents and the flags are stored when the microprocessor executes instruction PUSH PSW in the breakpoint routine. (c) Specify the memory locations where HL register contents are stored after executing the instruction PUSH H. (d) Specify the contents of the stack pointer when the breakpoint routine returns from the keyboard routine. (e) What address is placed in the program counter just after the instruc- tion RET is completed ?
