The HOLD pin indicates that an external device wants the 8085 to stop and allow the external device to drive the bus. The acknowledge of control transfer is HLDA, however, it is important to note that HLDA does not mean the current cycle is complete - it means that the current cycle is the last cycle, at which point the 8085 will release the bus. (One half clock cycle later.)

Basic DMA operation and 8237 DMA Controller?
In the 8085, DMA (Direct Memory Access) is controlled with HOLD and HLDA. The HOLD signal is a request to release the bus. The HLDA signal is the 8085's acknowledgement of that request. HLDA means that the 8085 will release the bus in one half clock cycle, i.e. at the end of T3. The 8085 will remain in that hold state until HOLD is released, at which point it will take control of the buses again. The HOLD'ing device has complete control and can access any memory or I/O. Often, the 8237 DMA controller is used to provide sequencing of the operation. The 8237 DMA controller interfaces between up to four peripheral devices and the 8085. It provides an address register for each device so that the device does not need to do so. The device only needs to indicate that a byte of data is available, or is required, and the 8237 will take care of storing or fetching the byte.
What is dma operation in 8085?
DMA->Direct Memory Access. I/O device can access the memory without the help of CPU. So that there is faster access by the device. I/O device signals microprocessor by HOLD signal.
Status signal in microprocessor 8085?
S0,S1 and IO/M are the status signal of 8085 mpu
What types of operations is DMA used to accelerate?
DMA operations
What is the function of CLKOUT pin in microprocessor 8085?
The CLK signal in the 8085 is the system clock, which is the External Input Frequency or Crystal divided by two. It can be used to develop bus control logic, because it is essentially the inverse of ALE for one half clock cycle.
What is function of hold pin in 8085 microprocessor?
The HOLD pin on the 8085 is an external request for control of the bus. Upon receipt of HOLD, the 8085 will complete its current cycle and assert HLDA (HOLD Acknowledge), and then it will float the address, data, and control bus one half clock cycle later. The external hardware is then free to use the bus. When it is done, it releases HOLD, the 8085 releases HLDA, and the 8085 takes control of the bus and continues with the next cycle. HOLD is used by external DMA controllers, such as the 8257, to transfer data to and from memory on behalf of high speed peripherals, without requiring 8085 attention to that data transfer.
What is DMA in 8085 in microprocessor?
DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, in regards to 8085 MP. It consists of 2 pins, namely, HOLD and HLDA. The former of which indicates the processor that either a peripherial or any IO device, is requesting the processor to hold its current activites and give the control of buses to IO devices. HLDA, on the contrary, is the acknowledgement from the microprocessor to the concerned IO device sending the request.
What is the Intel 8085?
Intel 8085 is a microprocessor that is used in various electronics devices.
What is the significance of x1 and x2 clock signal input of 8085?
X1 and X2 are connect to a crystal.
In what all situations DMA is used?
DMA (Direct Memory Access) can be used during the CPU's "busy time", such as when the CPU is processing a read/write cycle, the DMA will take over to perform other tasks while the CPU is busy.
What power supply is used in microprocessor 8085 programming?
+5v necessary for microprocessor 8085.
What is used to connect CPU directly to RAM?
DMA
