How does a microprocessor know whether the next byte is an instruction or data?

A microprocessor know whether the next byte is an instruction or data because the microprocessor knows for what it is looking. The bus, on the other hand, for an 8085 based system, knows an opcode from data by looking at S0 and S1 when IO/M- is low. If both are high, it is an opcode, otherwise it is data.


Where is microprocessor placed in computer?

The central processor unit (microprocessor) is placed on the motherboard. The cooler, necessary to refrigerate the microprocessor is placed behind it.


What is a 8085 microprocessor?

The 8085 microprocessor is an 8-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1976. It is a popular microprocessor used in many early computer systems and embedded devices. The 8085 has a 16-bit address bus and an 8-bit data bus, with a clock speed ranging from 2 to 3 MHz. It has a total of 74 instructions in its instruction set architecture.


What is the role of clock generator in microprocessor?

The clock signal in a microprocessor allows synchronization of several components of the microprocessor. The correctness of the computation of the microprocessor depends upon efficient and balanced distribution of the clock signal. The clock generator generates the clock signal.


Who is Marician Hoff?

hi bye i hate yo! Marcian Hoff was one of the inventors for the microprocessor. The microprocessor is like the engine for the computer. When you turn on the computer the microprocessor helps the computer start.

Why is data bus bidirectional but address bus is unidirectional?

since data can be read /write from/to the microprocessor, hence data bus is bidirectional. if data is required read from microprocessor then it will be pointing to a memory location by the address bus, by indicating which location data its required to read. similarly to write a data to a location, again the microprocessor will be to that particular location by holding that address in address bus. hence it will be unidirectional.
