Best Answer

The 8085 is an 8-bit computer, therefore the length of the general registers B, C, D, E, H, and L is 8 bits. Some registers, however, can be paired, specifically BC, DE, and HL, to hold and use 16 bit values for certain operations.

What is the purpose of INSTRUCTION REGISTER in 8085 Microprocessor?

In 8085 general purpose registers are used to hold data like any other registers. In 8085 there are six types of special registers called general purpose registers. The general purpose registers in 8085 are B, C, D, E, H and L. Each register can hold 8 bit data. Apart from above functions these registers can also be used to work in pairs to hold 16 bit data. They can work in pairs such as B-C, D-E, H-L to store 16 bit data. The H-L pair work as a memory pointer. A memory pointer holds the address of a particular memory location. They can store 16 bit address as they work in pairs.

What is the reason for naming microprocessor as 8085 and microcontroller as 8051?

b/c the 8085 microprocessor is the first 8 bit microprocessor which Intel is produces in 1877 and this is the first general purpose 8 bit microprocessor. there was an 8 bit general purpose register before 8085 named as 8008 but this microprocessor is not functional 8 bit microprocessor
