Correct Answer: Program counter holds the address of either the first byte of the next instruction to be fetched for execution of the address of the next byte of a multi byte instruction, which has not been completely fetched In both the cases it gets incremented automatically one by one as the instruction bytes get fetched Also Program register keeps the address of the next instruction
4. In 8085 which is called as High order / Low order Rigister?
Correct Answer: Microprocessor is a program-controlled device, which fetches the instructions from memory decodes and executes the instructions Most Micro Processors are single-chip devices
Correct Answer: SIM is Set Interrupt Mask Used to mask the hardware interrupts RIM is Read Interrupt Mask Used to check whether the interrupt is Masked or not
7. Give two ways of converting a two input NAND gate to an inverter.
Correct Answer: One way is shorting the two inputs of the NAND gate and passing the input truth table: A B output 1 1 0 0 0 1 The second way is passing the input to only one input (say A) of the NAND gate Since the other input (say B is floating, it is always logic one Truth table: A B output 1 1 0 0 1 1
8. What are set up time & hold time constraints? What do they signify? Which one is critical for estimating maximum clock frequency of a circuit?
Correct Answer: Suppose your flip-flop is positive edgetriggered time for which data should be stable prior to positive edge clock is called setup is called setup time constraint Time for which data should be stable after the positive edge of clock is called as hold time constraint If any of these constraints are violate d then flip-flop will enter in meta stable state, in which we cannot determine the output of flip-flop there are two equation: 1 Tcq + Tcomb > Tskew + Thold 2 Tcq + Tcomb > Tskew + T - Tsetup Tcq is time delay when data enters the flip flop and data comes at output of flip flop Tcomb is the logic delay between two flip flop Tskew is the delay of clock to flip flop: suppose there are two flip flop, if clock reaches first to source flip flop and then after some delay to destination flip flop, it is positive skew and if vice versa then negative skew so if you take 2 eq you will see that setup time is the determining factor of clock's time period
9. How to clear Computer Motherboard CMOS password?
Correct Answer: Intel's 80386 was the first 32-bit processor, and since the company had to backward support the 8086 All the modern Intel-based processors run in the Enhanced mode, capable of switching between Real mode (just like the real 8086) and Protected mode, which is the current mode of operation
