What is Non-Maskable interrupts?

Correct Answer: An interrupt that can be turned off by the programmer is known as Maskable interrupt

Correct Answer: There are three types of buses Address bus: This is used to carry the Address to the memory to fetch either Instruction or Data Data bus: This is used to carry the Data from the memory Control bus: This is used to carry the Control signals like RD/WR, Select etc

Correct Answer: Byte contains 8 combinations of bits

Correct Answer: IEEE 1394 (Firewire) supports the maximum of 63 connected devices with speeds up to 400 Mbps

Correct Answer: Accumulator register, Temporary register, Instruction register, Stack Pointer, Program Counter are the various registers in 8085

Correct Answer: Bus Interface Unit and Execution unit, are the two different functional units in 8086

Correct Answer: Execution Unit receives program instruction codes and data from BIU, executes these instructions and store the result in general registers

Correct Answer: FIFO (First In First Out) stack is used in 8086 In this type of Stack the First Stored Information is retrieved first

Correct Answer: In 8086 Carry flag, Parity flag, Ausiliary caarry flag, Zero flag, Overflow flag, Trace flag, Interrupt flag, Direction flag, and Sign flag

Correct Answer: Use the concept of register-retiming divide the totla combinatorial delay in two segments such that individually the delay is less the clock period this can be done by inserting a flip-flop in the combinational path eg, clock period --- 5 ns total cominational delay ---- 7 then divide the 7ns path in two path of 4 or 3 (best resutls are obtained if delays are same for both path ie 35ns) by inserting a flip-flop in between
