Full Marks : 50
The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words
as far as practicable.
Question no. 1 is compulsory. Answer any four questions from the rest.
(g) How many T-states are required for execution of STA 8050H instruction?
(i) 16 (ii) 10
(iii) 7 (iv) 13
2. (a) What is the role played by the ALU, Program Counter and the Instruction Register? 1+1+2
(b) Name the different flags inside the flag-register and mention the role of each. 3
(c) Explain indirect addressing mode for the 8085 microprocessor with proper examples. 3
4. (a) What is an assembly language programming (ALP)? Write an ALP for the 8085 microprocessor to
compare two 8-bit numbers which are stored in two memory locations and to place the larger number in
the first and the smaller number in the second memory location. 1+4
(b) What is a stack? What do the PUSH and POP instructions do? Explain the role of the stack in the
execution of a subroutine. 1+1+1+2
5. (a) Explain with the help of a suitable block diagram, how the multiplexed lower-order address bus and the
data bus can be demultiplexed using an 8-bit latch during the execution of an instruction. 3+3
(b) Draw a schematic diagram showing how one may generate the read/write control signals MEMR,
MEMW, IOR, IOW from the microprocessor generated signals IO/M, RD and WR . 4
6. (a) A 4096 × 8 ROM chip is to be interfaced with the 8085 microprocessor. Which of the address lines of
the 8085’s 16-bit address bus would be directly connected to the 4096 registers of the ROM chip? Show
with the help of a schematic diagram how one can decode the remaining address lines to generate an
active low signal to be used to select the ROM chip. 2+3
(b) What is a PPI device? Write a short note on the 8255A PPI device briefly explaining its different modes
of operation. 1+4
7. (a) Draw the block diagram of Harvard architecture for microcontrollers.
(b) Explain briefly with a diagram how IC 8051 is wired to external memory.
(c) Draw the block diagram of PIC 16F887 microcontroller. 4+3+3
