Q2(b) : Briefly define the role of following registers of 6800 microprocessor :

Program Counter
Instruction Register
Accumulator Register
ANSWER:
Program counter: program counter is 16 bit register that always hold the address of
next instruction to be executed.
Instruction register: it is special purpose register to hold the instruction fetched from
memory.
Accumulator register: accumulator register hold the data for manipulation like logic
,store, output, input ,arithmetic ,load
Q2(C): Briefly define following pin function of 6800 microprocessor :
DBE
R/W
CLOCK
TSC
IRQ
RESET
Answer:
1. DBE data bus enable pin number 36:
This pin input controls the data bus drives in the 6800 microprocessor, A high input on the
DBE pin enables the data lines, whiles a low input disables or three state the data lines ,
because data transfers to and from memory and I/P occurs during the time the Q2 clock is high
,the DBE pin is many times connected to the Q2 lines of the clock.
2. R/W: read/write control, pin number 34:
This pins output is control line that signals an external device (Ram, Row, PIA, Whether the
6800MPU is reading or writing. A HIGH output from the R/W line signals a read whereas A
LOW output signals that a write operation is under way.
3. CLOCK (Q1 and Q2) pin number 3 and 37
These input pins receive non overlapping clock signals from the external system clock
circuitry.
4. TSC Three state control pin number 39
When the TSC input pin is driven high by an external device , all address lines and R/W line
will be three stated. The TSC line is used with DMA configurations. When DMA Is not used
the TSC pin may be grounded.
5. IRQ Interrupts request line
The microprocessor can be interrupts from the normal execution of instruction and asked to
execute some other instruction.
6. RESET:
When reset pin id driven from high to low, the 6800 microprocessor sets the I flag to 1 and
jumps to the rest or restart interrupts service routine pointed to by FFFEH AND FFFFH.

The reset input is typically used to initialize or restart the system.

Q3 (A): Program can generally be developed much faster using high level languages
than using assembly languages. You have to counter this advantage with number of
advantage assembly languages.
The high level language is a medium of communication that is independent of a given
computer. Programs are written in English like words, and they can be executed on a
machine using a translator (a Compiler or a translator), they are easy to understand.
The program written in high level language when converted into machine code by the
compiler , yields many unnecessary instructions , the program written in directly in assembly
language is usually is usually shorter and faster than the one converted from a high level
language by the compiler.
Q3 ( B): Briefly describe pipeline architecture of 8086 microprocessor. Mention the jobs
performed by Bus Interface Unit (BIU) &Execution Unit (EU).

The only difference between the 8086 and the 8088 microprocessors is that BIU
of 8088 can transfer only 8 bits data at one time.
Two main parts to the microprocessor
1- The bus interface unit (BIU)
2- The execution unit (EU)
Jobs performed by bus interface unit ( BIU ):
It is interface to the outside world.
It is performs BUS operation such as
1. instruction fetching
2. reading operand from memory
3. reading operands to memory
4. Inputting or outputting data to I/O peripherals.
Its jobs also include instruction queuing & address generation.

Jobs of execution unit:

Fetching instructions.
Fetching operands from general purpose registers
Executing instructions
Generates operand addresses & passes them to the BIU.
Q3 C : Draw the software model of 8086 microprocessor.

Q4 (A) : What is the word shown in figure below ? Express the result in hexadecimal
form . Is it stored at even or an odd address boundary?
Address
Memory
(Hex)

(Binary)

0072C

1111 1110

0072B

1010 1010

Answers
The most significant byte of the word is stored at address 0072C and equals to
11111101= FD H
Its least significant byte is stored at address 0072B and is
10101010=AA H
Together these two byte give the word
11111101101010101= FDAA H
Expressing the address of the least significant byte in binary from gives
0072B= 00000000011100101011

Since the rightmost bit (LSB) is logic 1 , the word is stored at an odd address boundary in
memory.
Q4 (b): what would be 'offset' required to map to physical location 002B3(16) if the
segment base address is 0029 (16).

Q. # 08 (A) Write a short program to transfer a word from an input device whose address
is 10A0 H, into DX.
IN AX, 10AOH
MOV DX, AX

(B) Provide a complete interpretation of the content of CS: 0050 H , including an

appropriate diagram.

The source segment base value is the code segment CS register and the source of the offset is
0050H so the PA = CS:0050H
Q # 09 (A) List the differences between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor.
The only difference between an 8088 microprocessor and an 8086 microprocessor is the BIU.
In The 8088, the BIU data bus path is 8 bits wide versus the 8086's 16-bit data bus. Another
difference Is that the 8088 instruction queue is four bytes long instead of six.
The important point to note, however, is that because the EU is the same for each processor,
the Programming instructions are exactly the same for each. Programs written for the 8086 can
be run On the 8088 without any changes.
Q #09 ( b) Is 8086/8088 TTL compatible? Explain your answer?
Yes, 8088/8086 microprocessor is compatible.
if the noise immunity figure is de-rated to 350 mv from 400 mv.
( C )What information appears on the address / data bus of the 8088 while ALE is active?
Address bits A7-A0
( D ):- Explain the operation of the TEST pin and the wait instruction?
TEST pin is input which is tested by WAIT.

(E )Describe bus buffering and latching.

Before the 8088/8086 microprocessor can be used with memory or I/O interfaces, their
multiplexed bus must be demultiplexed.
Buses need to be buffered for large systems. Because the maximum fan-out is 10, the
system must be buffered if it contains more than 10 other components.
74LS 373 Latches are used to demuliplex the address /data bus (AD7_ AD0)
connection and multiplexed address/status connection ( A19/S6 A16/S3 )
Q# 10 (A) Why it is essential to understand bus timing ? Draw a block diagram in which
clock generator (8284A) and 8086 microprocessor illustrates the connection for the
clock and reset signals.
It is essential to understand bus timing before choosing a memory or I/O device for interfacing
with 8086/8088 microprocessor, and it is provides insight into the operation of the bus signals
and basic read and write timing of the 80886.8088.

( b) illustrate and explain simplified 8086/8088 write bus cycle.

The three buses of the 8086 and 8088 address bus ,data mcontrol fuction exactly the same way
as those of any other microprocessor .if data are written to the memory , the microprocessor
outputs the memory address on the addressbus,oututs the data to be written into memory on
the data bus , and issue a write ( WR) to memory and
The 8086 and

=0

=1 for the 8088 .

( c ) compare minimum mode versus maximum mode of operation for the 8086/8088
microprocessor
There are two available mode of the operation for the 8088/8086 microprocessor, Minimum
mode and Maximum mode. Min mode is obtained by the connection of the selection pin
MN/MX to + 5 v and max. Mode is selected by grounded.
Maximum mode is used when ever a coprocessor is connected to the system.
In Minimum mode the signal of the I/O is generated by the processor so it costs less minimum
mode allow the eight bit peripherals to be used with the 8088/8086 without any special
consideration.

Q #. 11 (a) Explain the characteristics of I/O interface

Interface devices are grouped according to several different characteristics
1. Analog/Digital: if the device uses a digital data format this simplifies the interface to the
computer, but most nature signals occur naturally in analogue form. There is need to process
signals using an A/D converter ( I/P) and D/A converter (O/P) in order to connected the
computer/ microprocessor to the outside world.
2- Electrical characteristics: of the device to be connected to the to the computer may vary
enormously.

3- Operating speed: the speed of operation of the device affects the interface design
4- Data availability: the interface may be able to provide or receive data continuously or data
transfer may be restricted to discrete time intervals.
5. Data timing: data may need to be transmitted to or received from the computer at regular
time intervals or irregularly.

(b) Contrast a memory mapped I/O system with an isolated I/O system
Memory mapped I/ O: any instruction that reference to memory can accomplish the I/O
transfer.
Isolated I/ O: the data transfer between microprocessor and the I/O device takes places using
special I/P instruction IN & OUT
( c ) Explain the term handshaking as it applies to computer system.
Handshaking :
Many I/O devices accept or release information at a much slower rate
than the microprocessor; another method of I/O control called Handshaking or polling
synchronizes the I/O device with the microprocessor. An example device that requires
handshaking is a parallel printer that sends 100 cps . its clear that the processor can send 100
CPS to the printer , so to slow the processor down to match the speed of the of the printer .
The computer printer devices is facilitated using parallel I/O device PPI .As the printer is an
output device , one can program port B of PPI as output port in handshake mode ( i.e. mode 1 )
in this case m few lines of port C serve the purpose of handshake line , where as the printer can
intimate the computer about its status on port A of PPI , which is programmed as simple input
in mode 0 . the printer port physically appears to the near of CPU casing as female D-Type 25
Pin connector .

( d ) Draw the I/O map of personal computer illustrating many of the fixed I/O areas.

Q# 12. ( a ) write a series of instruction that will output AA16 to an output port located
at address C000H of the I/O address space
SOLTION
MOV DX, C000 ; DX register must be loaded with address of the output port .
MOV AL, AA
OUT DX, AL

; Data to be output must be loaded into AL.

; Data is sent at output address C000H.

( b ) suppose data are to be read from two byte wide input ports at address FF H and A9
H respectively and then output as word wide output as word output port at address
FAFD H . Write a sequence of instruction to perform this input/output operation.
Solution:
IN AL.AA

; first read byte from the port address AAH into AL.

MOV AH, AL

; and move it to AH

IN AL, A9

; other byte can be read into AL

MOV DX, FAFD

; load DX with variable address

OUT DX, AX

; send contents of AX at output FAFD

Q# 13 ( a ) the 82C55 PPI has how many programmable I/O PIN CONNECTION . list
the pins that belong to group A & group B in the 82C55. Also mention two pins which
accomplish internal I/O port section.
The 82C55 has 24 programmable I/O.
Group A consist:
1- port A
2- upper half of port C (PC7-PC4)
3- A1,A0,WR
Group b consist from :
1- port B (PB7-PB0)
2- lower half of port c(PC3-PC0_
3- RD
4- RESET
5- CK
6- VCC
7- GND
. Two pins accomplish internal I/O port address is A0 and A1

(b ) what three modes of operation are available to the 82C55 PPI? Mention the purpose
of STB signal is strobes input operation of the 82C55
Mode 0: Latched I/O
Mode 1: strobes I/O
Mode2: bi-directional I/O.
(c) How is the interrupt request pin (INTR) enabled input mode of operation of the
82C55?
The INTR pin becomes logic 1 when the STB input returns to logic 1, and it is cleared when
the data are input from the port by the microprocessor.
(d) In strobe output operation of the PPI, what is the purpose of ACK signal?
The ACK signal is an output that signals that the data have been removed from the port.
Q.# 14 By considering all aspects of microprocessor based application design explain
- System specification
- block level system design
- Software design
- Hardware design
- Hardware and software integration
-prototype
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION:
The specification states that functions that the system must perform but does
not necessarily cover how the functions are implemented.
BLOCK DIGRAM:
This includes:
Selecting microprocessor type
Determination of I/O and memory requirements
Division of tasks between hardware and software
Software design:
It is often proceeds in parallel with the hardware design.
The software may be written in assembly language or in a high level language or in
combination of two.
Depending on the type of the computer used for the software development, it may be
possible to debug parts of the software with out hardware.
HARDWARE DESGIN
It consists of selection of:
Microprocessor
Memory (RAM & ROM )
Peripheral IC's
Design circuitry to connect them together to from the system
HARDWARE & SOFTWARE INTERGATRION
Hardware debugging usually begins by testing the system with short test programs

 After the hardware is able to execute these test program the hardware /software
integration begins.
The actual application software replaces the test programs and the complete system is
debugged.
This can be cheapening task, since there are often both hardware and software
problems to be found and is not always clear which it which.
Several types of test equipment are available for assisting in this process:
1- LOGIC ANALYZER: which captures a trace of the bus activity and displays
the sequence of bus cycles that were executed?
2- IN CIRCUIRT EMULATORS: which pugs into the microprocessor socket
and allows the operation of the system be controlled and monitored.
Q. # 15 (a) Discuss the function of an interrupt in a microprocessor based system and
explains the interrupts structure of the Intel family of microprocessors
1) interrupts provide a mechanism for changing the program environment.
2) Transfer program control is initiated by the occurrence of an event internal to the
microprocessor or an event in its external hardware .
3) For instance when an interrupt signals occurs indicating that an external device , such as
printer , requires services , the microprocessor must suspend what it is doing in the
main part of the program and pass control to a special routine (Interrupt services routine
) that performs the function required by the device .
4) When the microprocessor terminates execution in the main program, it remembers the
location where it left off and then it picks up execution with first instruction in services
routine. After this routine run to completion, program control is returned to the point
where the microprocessor originally left the main body of program.
5) Interrupts are practically useful when interfacing I/O device that provide data at
relatively low data transfer rates.
The interrupts of the entire Intel family of microprocessor include :
- Hardware pins that request interrupt (INTR & NMI) and one hardware pin (INTA) that
acknowledges the interrupt requested through INTA.
- In addition to the pins , the microprocessor also has software interrupts
INT,INTO,INT3, and BOUND
- Two flags bits , IF ( Interrupt flag) and TF ( Trap flag) , are also used with the interrupt
structure and a special return instruction IRET ( or IRED in 80386/higher )
- Hardware , software , and internal interrupts are serviced in priority basis.
- Internal interrupts are the highest priority group.
- Next lowest is the nonmaskable interrupts.
- Next lowest is software interrupts
- External hardware interrupts are the lowest priority group.

(b) Explain the operation of software interrupts instruction INT, INTO, INT3 &
BOUND.
Answer:
INT: INT instruction calls the interrupts service procedures that begins at address represented
in vector number
INTO: INTO instruction checks the overflow flag (OF), if OF =1, the instruction calls the
procedure whose address is stored in interrupt vector type number 4.
If OF = 0, then the INTO instruction performs no operation and next sequential instruction in
the program executes.
INT3: INT3 instruction is often used as a breakpoint interrupt because it is easy to insert a 1byte instruction into a program, breakpoints are often used to debug faulty software.
BOUND: The BOUND instruction which has two operands, compares a register with two
words of memory data for example, if the instruction BOUND AX, DATA is executed, AX is
compare with the contents of DATA and DATA +1 and also with DATA+2 and DATA+3 if AX
is les than the contents of DATA and
DATA+1.
the type 5 interrupt occurs. If AX is greater than DATA+2 and DATA +3 , a type 5 interrupt
occurs. If AX is within the bounds of these two memory word no interrupts occurs.
( c ) what is 8295A? Also mention how many 8295 a are required to have 64 interrupt
inputs.
8259A is programmable interrupts controller that adds eight interrupt inputs to the
microprocessor.
It required a master 8295A and eight 8295A slaves.
Q. # 16 ( a ) The interrupt vectors and vector table are crucial to an understanding of
hardware and software interrupts .At what memory address is the interrupts vector table
is located?
In the first 1 k byte at location 00000000 H-000003FFH
( b ) describe the function of the following dedicated interrupts of 8086 microprocessor:
- Divider Error
- Single step or trap
- Over flow
- Bound
Answer
Type 0 _ Divider Error: Occurs whenever the result of a division overflows or whenever
an attempt is made to divide by zero
Type 1 Single step or Trap: occurs after the execution of each instruction if the trap
(TF) flag bit is set. Upon accepting this interrupt the TF bit is cleared so the interrupt
service procedure executes al full speed.
Type 4 overflow: is a special vector used the INTO instruction. The INTO instruction
interrupts the program if an overflow condition exits as reflected by the overflow flag (OF)
Type 5 BOUND: is an instruction that compares register with boundaries stored in the
memory. If the contents of the register is greater than or equal to the first word in memory
and less than or equal to the second word, no interrupt occurs because the contents of the
register is within bounds. If the contents of the register of the register is out of bounds, a
type 5 interrupt execute

(b) Explain
(I) In how many ways DMA process may be initiated and be terminated.
To initiate the DMA process, we use HOLD signal.
To terminate the DMA process, we use EOP signal.
(ii) The sequence of events as DMA is required by an I/O device.
The DMA I/O technique provides direct memory access to the memory,
while the p is temporarily disabled. This allows data to be transferred between memory & the
I/O devices at a rate that is limited only by the speed of the memory components in the system
or the DMA.
This process can be done by using the HOLD pin (input) that is used to request a DMA
action and the HOLD pin is an output that acknowledges.

(iii) What happens when DMAC receives DMA request from another channel while it is
serving one?
The 8237 DMA controller supplies the memory and I/O with control signals and
memory address information during the DMA transfer, the 8237 DMA controller is capable of
DMA transfers at rates of up to 1.6MB per sec. so, DMAC receive DMA from another
channel, this means that, the channel is capable of addressing a full 64k-byte section of
memory and can transfer up to 64k-bytes with a single programming.

Q. 18
The device we discussed in this lecture fall into two classes: microprocessors & single
chip microcomputers (microcontrollers).
(i) What are the characteristics required chip microcomputer?
A practical p controlled the system would almost certainly be implemented a single chip computer since the application relatively simple at high value market, so , it is possible to
