Why stack pointer is 8-bit in microcontroller?
On 8-bit processors it is 16 bit, but in some processors (MosTek 65xx) the upper eight bit is constant 00000001.
What still uses 8 and 16 bit processors?
Embedded processors still use 8 and 16 bit, especially if it's legacy hardware being supported. General purpose desktops have been 32 or 64 bit for awhile.
What is 16 bit or 32 bit?
This refers to how the CPU processors the information, 32 bit is more current than 16 bit and much faster. 16 bit is obsolete because we not gave 64 bit systems.
Why 8088 is slower than 8086?
The 8088 is slower than the 8086 because the 8088 is running an 8-bit bus, while the 8086 runs a 16-bit bus. The two processors are the same, 16-bit processors, but the 8088 requires twice as many memory accesses to do the same amount of work as the 8086.
What does it mean for a computer to have a 16-bit processor?
When you say that a computer has a 16 bit processor, you mean that the fundamental data size of the accumulator and registers is 16 bits. Examples of 16 bit processors include the DEC PDP-11, the Intel 8086/8088, and the MODCOMP Classic, circa 1980.
Is Intel core 2 duo a 64-bit processor?
Yes, however this Intel processor is backwards compatible with earlier Intel processors and can run 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit instructions.
Will Windows 95 run on a 16-bit system?
No. Windows 95 requires a 32-bit processor (a 386 or higher). 286 and under processors won't work.
Is the Intel Core 2 Duo a 64-bit processor?
All Intel Core 2 processors are capable of running in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode.
Why are programme counter and stack pointer register 16 bit registers?
The program counter (PC) and stack pointer (SP) registers are 16-bit registers in the 8085 and in the 8086/8088 because that is how Intel designed the processors.
What is 16-bit register set?
This refers to the width of the processor. A byte has 8 bits and codes 0 to 28-1 (255). Most computers have 32 bit processors.
Word size of todays processors?
Modern Computers have a word size of 16, 32 or 64 bits.
How many generation of microprocessor and their uses?
the evolution of microprocessors has been broadly divided into 4 generations. first generation microprocessors- the first generation of microprocessors were introduced in 1971-1973. they used monolithic IC and P-MOS technology. This technology has slow speed, not supported with TTL. Due to the lack of pins, signals has to be multiplexed. Example-4004 & 4040 Second generation microprocessors- these microprocessors were introduced in 1973-1978. they were designed using N-MOS technology. faster speed and higher density packaging than P-MOS technology. it had more powerful instruction set, ability to handle large memory space and had better interrupt handling capability. Example-8080 & 8085 Third generation microprocessors- these were introduced between 1978-1980. They were basically 16 bit processor and were made by using H-MOS technology. It had flexible input-output port addresses. Example- 8 bit-8086 16 bit- 80286, 80386 & 80486. Fourth generation microprocessor- these were introduced after 1980. It had 2kb main memory, 16 mb physical memory, 1 tb virtual memory for enhancing speed. Example- celeron and further invented processors.
