1a Discuss how microcontrollers are classified based on
instruction set architecture and memory organization. 8 CO1 L2 1 1.4.3
Also, list the differences.
1b Write a program to put a random number in address 20h
and increment it until it equals a random number set in 7 CO2 L3 1 1.4.5
R5.
2a Check the status of bit location 22h and do the following
i. If the status is zero, then count the number of
zeros and ones of the data available in location 8 CO2 L3 1 1.4.5
2050h
ii. If the status is one, then find the average of
values stored from memory location 22h to 30h
2b Identify the addressing mode used by each of the
following instructions.
i) MOV A, R4 ii) MOVC A, @A+DPTR iii) MOV A, 7 CO2 L2 1 1.4.5

3a The government has released vaccination to the age
group of 18 to 44. A total of 10 people have registered for
the vaccination. It is required to schedule the vaccination
dates based on higher age to lower age. Develop an
assembly language program to arrange the age and
assign dates to each person, assuming one day one
person. (Assume the input to be age, and the dates
8 CO2 L3 2 2.1.2
available are from 1\7\2021 to 20\7\2021.)
Note: Display only the date as the month and year are
fixed in the given format.
0x40:Age1 0x41:date1

0x42:Age2 0x43:date2
Follow this pattern for display.

the following.
i)If SW=1, then display a 4-bit up-counter on LEDs
8 CO3 L3 1 1.4.5
connected to P2.0 to P2.3.
ii)If SW=0, then display right to left shift on LEDs
connected to P2.0 to P2.3.

5a Implement a single digit calculator (consider any 2
operations) by reading the data serially and also display 8 CO3 L3 2 2.1.2
the result on serial monitor.
5b Write an ALP to read the status of a switch connected to 7 CO3 L3 1 1.4.5
P1.0 and do the following.
i)If SW=1, then generate a 5KHz frequency on P2.0
ii)If SW=0, then generate a 3KHz frequency on P2.1
