26. Compare Microprocessor and Microcontroller.
Answer:
Sl. No Microprocessor Microcontroller
1 Microprocessor contains
ALU,general purpose
registers,stack pointer, program
counter, clock timing circuit
and interrupt circuit.
Microcontroller contains the circuitry of
microprocessor and in addition it has
built- in ROM, RAM, I/O devices, timers
and counters.
2 It has many instructions to
move data between memory
and CPU.
It has one or two instructions to move
data between memory and CPU.
3 It has one or two bit handling
instructions.
It has many bit handling instructions.
4 Access times for memory and
I/O devices are more.
Less access times for built-in memory
and I/O devices.
5 Microprocessor based system
requires more hardware.
Microcontroller based system requires
less hardware reducing PCB size and
increasing the reliability.
27. What is multiplexing and what is its advantage? How the address and data lines are
demultiplexed in 8085?
Answer: Multiplexing is transferring different information at different well defined times
through same lines. A group of such lines is called multiplexed bus. The advantage of
multiplexing is that fewer pins are required for microprocessors to communicate with outside
world.The low order address and data lines of 8085 are demultiplexed using an external 8-bit D-
Latch (74LS373) and the ALE signal of 8085, as shown in fig.
D0 - D7
Fig: Demultiplexing of address and data lines in 8085 processor
At the beginning of every machine cycle, ALE is asserted high and then low. Also the
low byte of address is given out through ADo -AD7 lines. Since the ALE is connected to
Enable of Latch, when ALE is asserted high and then low the addresses are latched into
the output lines of the latch. Now the lines ADo -AD7 are free for data transfer.
28. Explain the generation of control signal in 8085 microprocessor.
29. Write a note on segment register. How physical address is generated in 8086.
30. Draw the internal block diagram of 8255 and explain each block.
OR,
Write the basic operation of DMA.
OR, Draw and explain the functional block diagram of 8253/8254.
