Fetch Execute Cycle

A more complete form of the Instruction Fetch Execute Cycle can be broken

down into the following steps:

1. Fetch Cycle

2. Decode Cycle

3. Execute Cycle

4. Interrupt Cycle

1. Fetch Cycle

The fetch cycle begins with retrieving the address stored in the Program

Counter (PC). The address stored in the PC is some valid address in the

memory holding the instruction to be executed. (In case this address does

not exist we would end up causing an interrupt or exception).The Central

Processing Unit completes this step by fetching the instruction stored at

this address from the memory and transferring this instruction to a special

register - Instruction Register (IR) to hold the instruction to be executed.

The program counter is incremented to point to the next address from

which the new instruction is to be fetched.

2. Decode Cycle

The decode cycle is used for interpreting the instruction that was fetched in the Fetch Cycle. The operands are retrieved from the addresses if the need be.

3. Execute Cycle

This cycle as the name suggests, simply executes the instruction that was fetched and decoded

Why 8086 microprocessor do not have op-code fetch cycle?

Every processor has an op-code fetch cycle. Otherwise, it would not be able to fetch instructions. In the case of the 8086, the three status lines S2, S1, and S0 will have high, low, and low values to indicate an op-code fetch.


If the frequency of the crystal connected to 8085 is 6MHz calculate the time to fetch and executed NOP instruction?

At a crystal frequency of 6MHz, the 8085 microprocessor has a clock frequency of 3MHz, or a period of 333 nanoseconds. The NOP instruction requires four clock cycles, three to fetch and one to execute, so the NOP instruction with a crystal frequency of 6MHz would take 1.333 microseconds to fetch and execute. This does not include wait states, each of which would add 0.333 microseconds to the timing.
