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.

What is integration in Microprocessor?

A microprocessor has three major parts for it to function. I/O. arithmetic's and control. All of these parts interact to process data and the actual distance to do so becomes problematics as speed increases So these processes are implemented into one package as a unit therefore processes integration


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 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.


What is an electrical component that attaches to a printed circuit board and is designed to house a microprocessor?

An electrical component that attaches to a printed circuit board (PCB) and is designed to house a microprocessor is known as a microprocessor socket. This socket provides a secure connection for the microprocessor, allowing for easy installation and replacement without soldering. It typically features a grid of pins or contacts that align with the corresponding pads on the PCB, ensuring proper electrical connections for the microprocessor's operation.

What is the use of NOP instruction in 8085?

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.
