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.

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.


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.


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.


Specify the crystal frequency required for an 8085 system to operate at 1.1mhz?

The crystal frquency in an 8085 system is twice the desired clock frequency, so a crystal of 2.2 MHz is required to operate at 1.1 MHz.Note: Clock frequency is not the same as instructions per second, because the instructions in an 8085 take a variable number of clock cycles, between 4 and 18, to execute.


What is exciter in electrical?

An exciter in electrical engineering refers to a device that provides the necessary excitation current to the field winding of a synchronous machine, such as a generator. This excitation current is essential for establishing the magnetic field required for the generator to produce electrical power. Exciters can be either rotating (mounted on the same shaft as the generator) or static (using solid-state technology), and they play a critical role in regulating the output voltage and stability of the generator.

How clock signal are generated in 8085 and what is the frequency of the internal clock?

Early microprocessor neded clock input to be given externally, i.e. an extra clock generator chip is necessary. the clock generator chip had two pins between which a crstal or an RC circuit could be connected for the generation of basic frequency desired. however, microprocessor, that were designed after 1978(Intel 8085, M6809, etc.) had the clock generator circuit embedded in the microprocesor chip.

What is the function clock out pin in 8085 microprocessor?

In the 8085 microprocessor, the clock out pin (often labeled as CLK OUT) provides a clock signal that can be used to synchronize external devices or circuits. This output clock signal is derived from the internal clock of the microprocessor and operates at a frequency determined by the oscillator connected to the clock input pin. It allows other components in a system to operate in sync with the microprocessor's timing, ensuring proper data transfer and communication.
