Examinations
The examination will be of 2 hours duration and will be held in the official examination period at the end of the
semester at a date to be advised. The exam covers all work from the lectures (as per the syllabus), the practical sessions
and tutorials during the semester.
A deferred examination may be granted if a student is unable to sit for an examination because of illness. An
application for a deferred examination must be accompanied by a doctors certificate and must be lodged with your
division office within seven days of the examination.
Plagiarism
Please note that the University has a policy on plagiarism. Plagiarism is the copying of work or data of other people
without giving them due acknowledgment. This includes word-for-word copying of sentences or whole paragraphs
from books, articles, etc, without clearly indicating where you got the material from. It also includes using very close
paraphrasing of sentences or paragraphs without due acknowledgment.
Deliberate plagiarism is regarded as a serious form of academic misconduct and offenders (both the person copying and
the person knowingly supplying the information) are liable to be penalized by a fail for the particular assignment or the
entire course. Repeated plagiarism may result in your expulsion from the University.
For a more complete definition of plagiarism refer to the section on Academic Misconduct in the University Calendar
or for definitions of plagiarism, educative process, penalties and of the procedures which will be followed in a case of
suspected plagiarism see the University Web page www.unisa.edu.au/adminfo/policies/manual/index.htm Section 5 Academic Misconduct, 5.1.2 Plagiarism.erterter
What else can I help you with?
How do you load 32 bit data in 8085 microprocessor?
The 8085 is an 8 bit microprocessor. It cannot directly handle 32 bit data. That said, it is possible to write a routine that can handle 32 bit data, just 8 bits at a time.
What is the use of command MOV A A in 8085 microprocessor?
The MOV A,A instruction in the 8085 does nothing, not even change flags. It only consumes time, specifically four clock cycles plus applicable wait states.
What is meaning of 8085 microprocessor?
8085 is a 8 bit microprocessor designed by Intel.
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 subroutine in 8085?
in 8085 microprocessor a subroutine is a separate program written aside from main program ,this program is basically the program which requires to be executed several times in the main program. the microprocessor can call subroutine any time using CALL instruction . after the subroutine is executed the subbroutine hands over the program to main program using RET instruction.
What is dsp?
A digital signal processor (DSP) is a type of microprocessor - one that is incredibly fast and powerful. A DSP is unique because it processes data in real time. This real-time capability makes a DSP perfect for applications where we won't tolerate any delays
What is hardware interrupt of 8085 microprocessor with vector interrupt?
In the 8085 microprocessor, a hardware interrupt is a signal from an external device that temporarily halts the CPU's current operations to allow the device to communicate with the processor. A vector interrupt specifically refers to an interrupt that has a predefined memory address (vector) associated with it, which the processor jumps to when servicing the interrupt. For instance, the 8085 has several hardware interrupts, such as INTR, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, and RST 5.5, each with its own unique vector address, allowing for efficient and organized handling of multiple interrupt sources. This mechanism enables real-time processing and responsiveness to external events in embedded systems.
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.
Why 8085 microprocessor's AD BUS go into high impedence state before switching as a data data bus?
The 8085 microprocessor's AD bus goes into high impedance state before switching as a data input bus because you don't want two bus drivers driving the bus at the same time. You give the bus time to float between transfer of control, otherwise there will be large power transients at switchover, and you could damage the drivers.
Intel 8253 memory chip interface to 8085?
Intel 8253 is a programmable timer and it can be interfaced to 8085. This can be used as a real time clock, square wave generator and this is possible because 8253 can create accurate time delays.
Draw a schemetic to demultiplex bus ad0-ad7 using any octal latch in 8085 microprocessor?
The 8085 microprocessor is used IC 74LS373 to latch the address of 8085. Basically latch is consists of 8 flip flops. Generally we used D-flip flops (Delay).The clock of these flip flops are connected together and available as a output pin called enable.Working : The address will appear on AD0 AD7 lines. The ALE will go high and forcingEnable = 1. This will make latch enable and ready to work. Before address disappears ALE = 0. This will make latch disable. AD0 - AD7 will now be used as data bus.Hence, AD0 - AD7 (low order) address bus of the 8085 microprocessor is multiplexed (time-shared) with the data bus. The buses need to be demultiplexed.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of 8086 microprocessor?
the advantages of 8086 microprocessor over 8085A microprocessor is that 1)it is a 16 bit microprocessor 2)the disadvantages in 8085A microprocessor like low speed,limited number of registers,low memory addressing capability,less powerful instruction set have been overcome in 8086 registers
