What else can I help you with?
What interrupt is best to avoid because it is used as a connection between two interrupt controller chips?
In an IBM PC or compatible computer, IRQ2 should not be used because it is internally cascaded from the second 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller, so as to provide IRQ8 through IRQ15.
What is the lowest priority interrupt in the 8085 microprocessor?
The lowest priority interrupt in the 8085 microprocessor is INTR, unless you also consider the software interrupts, RST 0 through RST 7, which are even lower.
WHAT are vectored interrupts and their call locations?
Vectored interrupts are a mechanism used in computer systems where each interrupt is assigned a unique vector, or address, that points to a specific interrupt service routine (ISR). When an interrupt occurs, the processor uses the vector to quickly locate the corresponding ISR in memory, allowing for efficient handling of the interrupt. This method speeds up the interrupt handling process by eliminating the need for the processor to search through a table of ISRs. Call locations for these vectors are typically defined in a specific area of memory, often known as the interrupt vector table.
Why used interrupts?
An interrupt is a signal from hardware (h/w interrupt) or software (s/w interrupt) to indicate the occurence of an event. It indicates the need of a change in execution. Interrupt handling or servicing of the interrupts depends upon the design of the operating system. A routine which will be called for servicing the interrupt is known as interrupt service routine or ISR and the request for the ISR through an interrupt is known as interrupt request or IRQ. Interrupt is a mechanism used for implementing the multitasking concept. It will use the concept of context switching, for servicing the request.
What is physical starting address and ending address of interrupt vector table of 8086?
The 8086 interrupt table is from 0000h to 03FFh for interrupt 0 through interrupt 255. It is common practice to design systems that use only the lower-numbered interrupts and then use the upper part of the interrupt table for code or data.

How does a device get the cpu attention?
A device gets the CPU's attention through interrupts, which are signals sent to the processor indicating that it requires immediate attention. When a device needs to communicate or request service, it sends an interrupt request (IRQ) to the CPU. The CPU then pauses its current tasks, saves its state, and addresses the interrupt by executing the corresponding interrupt handler. Once the interrupt is serviced, the CPU resumes its previous tasks.
What are Interrupts and their types?
In computing, an interrupt is an asynchronous signal indicating the need for attention or a synchronous event in software indicating the need for a change in execution.A hardware interrupt causes the processor to save its state of execution and begin execution of an interrupt handler. Software interrupts are usually implemented as instructions in the instruction set, which cause a context switch to an interrupt handler similar to a hardware interrupt.Interrupts are a commonly used technique for computer multitasking, especially in real-time computing. Such a system is said to be interrupt-driven.An act of interrupting is referred to as an interrupt request (IRQ).Types of Interrupts1. Level-triggeredA level-triggered interrupt is an interrupt for which an unserviced interrupt is indicated by a particular state, high level or low level, of the interrupt request line. A device wishing to signal an interrupt drives the line to its active level, and then holds it at that level until serviced. It ceases asserting the line when the CPU commands it to or otherwise handles the condition that caused it to signal the interrupt.2. Edge-triggeredAn edge-triggered interrupt is an interrupt signalled by a level transition on the interrupt line, either a falling edge (high to low) or a rising edge (low to high). A device wishing to signal an interrupt drives a pulse onto the line and then releases the line to its inactive state. If the pulse is too short to be detected by polled I/O then special hardware may be required to detect the edge.Edge-triggered interrupts do not suffer the problems that level-triggered interrupts have with sharing. Service of a low-priority device can be postponed arbitrarily, and interrupts will continue to be received from the high-priority devices that are being serviced. If there is a device that the CPU does not know how to service, it may cause a spurious interrupt, or even periodic spurious interrupts, but it does not interfere with the interrupt signalling of the other devices. However, it is fairly easy for an edge triggered interrupt to be missed - for example if interrupts have to be masked for a period - and unless there is some type of hardware latch that records the event it is impossible to recover. Such problems caused many "lockups" in early computer hardware because the processor did not know it was expected to do something. More modern hardware often has one or more interrupt status registers that latch the interrupt requests; well written edge-driven interrupt software often checks such registers to ensure events are not missed.3. HybridSome systems use a hybrid of level-triggered and edge-triggered signalling. The hardware not only looks for an edge, but it also verifies that the interrupt signal stays active for a certain period of time. A common use of a hybrid interrupt is for the NMI (non-maskable interrupt) input. Because NMIs generally signal major -- or even catastrophic -- system events, a good implementation of this signal tries to ensure that the interrupt is valid by verifying that it remains active for a period of time. This 2-step approach helps to eliminate false interrupts from affecting the system.4. Message-signaledMain article: Message Signaled InterruptsA message-signalled interrupt does not use a physical interrupt line. Instead, a device signals its request for service by sending a short message over some communications medium, typically a computer bus. The message might be of a type reserved for interrupts, or it might be of some pre-existing type such as a memory write.Message-signalled interrupts behave very much like edge-triggered interrupts, in that the interrupt is a momentary signal rather than a continuous condition. Interrupt-handling software treats the two in much the same manner. Typically, multiple pending message-signalled interrupts with the same message (the same virtual interrupt line) are allowed to merge, just as closely spaced edge-triggered interrupts can merge.5. DoorbellIn a push button analogy applied to computer systems, the term doorbell or doorbell interrupt is often used to describe a mechanism whereby a software system can signal or notify a computer hardware device that there is some work to be done. Typically, the software system will place data in some well known and mutually agreed upon memory location(s), and "ring the doorbell" by writing to a different memory location. This different memory location is often called the doorbell region, and there may even be multiple doorbells serving different purposes in this region. It's this act of writing to the doorbell region of memory that "rings the bell" and notifies the hardware device that the data is ready and waiting. The hardware device would now know that the data is valid and can be acted upon. It would typically write the data to a hard disk drive, or send it over a network, or encrypt it, etc
What is the configuration of cascade amplifier?
In a cascade amplifier, two identical or non identical amplifiers are cascaded ,i.e., connected in series through a capacitor. They are mostly common emitter amplifiers that are cascaded together.The final gain of the cascaded amplifier is the product of the first amplifier's gain and the second amplifier's gain. However, the bandwidth of the cascaded version becomes lesser than the individual gains.
Why 8086 INTR input is automatically disabled when the 8086 is reset?
The 8086 microprocessor disables the INTR (interrupt request) input upon reset to ensure a stable and predictable startup state. This prevents any pending interrupt requests from being acknowledged immediately after the reset, which could lead to unintended behavior or system instability. By clearing the interrupt flags and disabling INTR, the processor can initialize its internal state and configure its operation before handling interrupts. After reset, the INTR input can be re-enabled through software instructions.
What is difference between vectored and non vectored interrupts?
Vector interrupt --> when processor directly call the respective isr when interrupt occurs so, address of respective isr is usually save in register. Non interrupt Vector --> In this case when interrupt occurs the processor calls a generic isr and in generic isr uaer has to call respective isr by checking status register.
What are the 12 interrupts in 8085?
An interrupt in the 8085, like in most computers, is a request to execute code out of sequence, usually by an external event, such as a signal from an IO device. In the 8085, an interrupt is almost exactly like a CALL instruction, except that the accumulator and flags register is also pushed on the stack. (Recall that the CALL instruction only pushes the return address on the stack.)This means that to return from an interrupt you must also pop the accumulator and flags, and this is done simply with the IRET instruction, as opposed to the RET instruction. In the 8085, the interrupt addresses are located in low memory, though the actual interrupt address could be anywhere if the interrupting device is capable of generating the three byte CALL sequence instead of the simpler INTx sequence, or the even simpler INTx.5 sequence.
What is a sentence using the word interrupt?
Sorry to interrupt, but the files are ready to be photocopied. I wish you would not interrupt me while I am deep in meditation. How dare you interrupt my sentence again, you imbecile! This is the last time you will interrupt our dinner, Jenny, before I come over there and smash that phone through your face. If you interrupt the teacher while she is speaking, you will get a warning. Don't interrupt me today, I have far too much work to be getting on with.
