8085 Timing Diagram
Timing Diagram is a graphical representation. It represents the execution time taken by each instruction in a graphical format. The execution time is represented in T-states.
Instruction Cycle:
The time required to execute an instruction is called instruction cycle.
Machine Cycle:
The time required to access the memory or input/output devices is called machine cycle.
T-State:
The machine cycle and instruction cycle takes multiple clock periods. A portion of an operation carried out in one system clock period is called as T-state.
1. Opcode fetch cycle (4T) 2. Memory read cycle (3 T) 3. Memory write cycle (3 T) 4. I/O read cycle (3 T) 5. I/O write cycle (3 T)
Each instruction of the 8085 processor consists of one to five machine cycles, i.e., when the 8085 processor executes an instruction, it will execute some of the machine cycles in a specific order.
The processor takes a definite time to execute the machine cycles. The time taken by the processor to execute a machine cycle is expressed in Tstates.
One T-state is equal to the time period of the internal clock signal of the processor.
The instructions which have more than one byte word size will use the machine cycle after the opcode fetch machine cycle.
The I/O write machine cycle is executed by the processor to write a data byte in the I/O port or to a peripheral, which is I/O, mapped in the system. The processor takes, 3T states to execute this machine cycle.
