Q. 63 A software delay subroutine is written as given below :
DELAY : MVI H, 255D
MVI L, 255D
LOOP : DCR L
JNZ LOOP
DCR H
JNZ LOOP
How many times DCR L instruction will be executed ?
(A) 255 (B) 510

www.Easyengineering.net
(C) 65025 (D) 65279
Sol. 63 MVI H and MVI L stores the value 255 in H and L registers. DCR L decrements
L by 1 and JNZ checks whether the value of L is zero or not. So DCR L executed
255 times till value of L becomes ‘0’.
Then DCR H will be executed and it goes to ‘Loop’ again, since L is of 8 bit so
no more decrement possible and it terminates.
Hence (A) is correct option.
Q. 64 In an 8085 A microprocessor based system, it is desired to increment the contents
of memory location whose address is available in (D,E) register pair and store the
result in same location. The sequence of instruction is

INR M INX H
(C) INX D (D) INR M
XCHG XCHG
Sol. 64 XCHG& exchange the contain of DE register pair with HL pair So
now addresses of memory locations are stored in HL pair.
INR M& Increment the contents of memory whose address is stored
in HL pair.
Hence (A) is correct option

will be percentage of 3rd harmonic present in the output voltage (Vo3/Vo1max) ?

Q. 66 A 3-phase fully controlled bridge converter with free wheeling diode is fed from
400 V, 50 Hz AC source and is operating at a firing angle of 60c. The load
current is assumed constant at 10 A due to high load inductance. The input
displacement factor (IDF) and the input power factor (IPF) of the converter
will be
(A) IDF = 0.867; IPF = (B) IDF = 0.867; IPF = 0.552
0.828 (D) IDF = 0.5; IPF = 0.318
(C) IDF = 0.5; IPF = 0.478
Sol. 66 Given that
400 V, 50 Hz AC source, a = 60c, IL = 10
A so,
Input displacement factor = cos a = 0.5

,then each thyristor will be reverse biased for a period of
(A) 125c (B) 120c
(C) 60c (D) 55c
Sol. 68 Let we have

so Vs = 350 - 20 # 0.5 = 340 V

` 340 = 2 cos a

cos a = 55c
So each thyristor will reverse biased for 180c - 55c = 125c.
