The NOP instruction is short for no-operation. It is an executable instruction that does nothing to the processor, its registers, or its flags. It is useful in timing loops, or to provide room for patchabilty of a piece of code.

The NOP (No Operation) instruction takes time but does nothing to the data or the status of the microprocessor. When executed in a loop, it can take substantial time, from microseconds, to milliseconds, to seconds.

What is NOP Instruction stands in 8085 microprocessor?

The NOP instruction is a no-operation instruction. It does nothing to the state of the machine, except to use some time. In the case of the 8085, it uses four clock cycles plus however many wait states are need to access the NOP instruction from memory.

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.
