75

Architecture of P 8085

76

1. Data Bus:
Data bus Bi Directional -a group of eight lines D0 to D7 used for data flow. Data flow in both directions between the MPU and memory and peripheral devices. MPU using the data bus to perform the second function: transferring binary information. Eight data lines enable the MPU to manipulate 8-bit data ranging from 00 to FF (28 = 256 numbers). The largest number that can appear on the data bus is 1111 1111.

77

Why Data Bus Bi directional


microprocessor has to fetch (read) the data from memory or input device for processing and after processing, it has to store (write) the data to memory or output device. Hence the data bus is bi-directional.

78

2. Address Bus:
Unidirectional address bus a group of 16 lines generally identified as A0 to A15. Address bus bits flow in one directionfrom the MPU to peripheral devices. MPU consisting of ALU,Accumulator and General Purpose Register-using the address bus for identifying a peripheral or a memory location
79

Why the Address Bus Unidirectional


The address is an identification number used by the microprocessor to identify or access a memory location or I / O device It is an output signal from the processor. Hence the address bus is unidirectional

80

3. Control Bus
Control bus Unidirectional-carrying synchronization signals and providing timing signals to Memory, Input and Output devices MPU generates specific control signals for every operation performed. Control signals used to identify a device type which the MPU is communicating.
81

4. Register
8085 having 6 general-purpose 8 bit registers B,C,D,E,H & L to store 8-bit data for program execution. B,C,D,E,H,L registers combined as register pairs-BC, DE, and HL-for performing some 16-bit operations

82

REGISTERS IN 8085
1. Accumulator register-high order register 2. Temporary register, 3. Instruction register, 4. Stack Pointer-16 bit address register 5. Program Counter
83

Register pairs in 8085

1.B-C register pair 2. D-E register pair 3.H-L register pair

84

Register, Accumulator and Flag

85

Accumulator
Accumulator an 8-bit register for arithmetic/logic unit (ALU). Accumulator used to store 8-bit data and to perform arithmetic and logical operations. The result of an operation is stored in the accumulator.

86

Purpose of Accumulator in 8085


Accumulator used by 8085 for temporary data storage & manipulation of data and instructions A-an accumulator for execution of a program

87

Flag
Flag is a flip flop used to store the information about the status of the processor and the status of the instruction executed most recently.

88

Status Flags in 8085


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Flags for testing the data conditions. Sign (S), Zero (Z), Parity (P), Carry (CY), Auxiliary Carry (AC) flags.

89

List of Flags in 8085


1. Sign flag S-sign of a value calculed by arthmatic or logical instructions 2. Zero flag-Z, normally set to 0: and set to 1 if the logical operation is 0 3. Carry flag-CY set when there is carry operation 4. Auxiliary flag AY-set to carry operation similar to CY, but from lower half to uper half 5. Parity flag-P, set to 1 if the parity is even

90

1 Byte and 2 Byte Instruction


Instructions in Computer in Binary Codes or Machine instruction Instruction of one word size or 8 Bits called 1 Byte Instruction Instruction in two word size of 16 bits is called 2 Byte instruction

91

Why Clock required in uP


Clock is necessary for synchronizing various internal operations or devices in the microprocessor and to synchronize the microprocessor with other peripherals in the system. 8085 has the clock generation circuit on the chip but an external quartz crystal or L C circuit or RC circuit should be connected at the pins XI and X2. Maximum internal clock frequency of 8085 is 3.03 MHz.

Interrupts in Microprocessor
Types and Function

94

Interrupt

Interrupt is a signal sent by an external device to the processor so as to request the processor for doing a particular task or work
95

Interrupts
An emergency asynchronous signal to a Microprocessor where the external device (I/O devices) get the attention of MP when pressing a key on the keyboard or clicking a button on the mouse triggers an interrupt 2 types of Interrupts-Maskable (delayed or rejected) and Non-maskable (cannot be rejected) Also classified as Vectored-Hard wired and Non Vectored-software operated.. 8085 has 5 External Interrupts
96

Interrupt Inputs in 8085-5 nos.


1. INTR interrupt-Non Vectored 2. RST 5.5,6.5 and 7.5-maskable interrupts 3. TRAP-A non maskable Vectored automatic interrupt

97

8085 Interrupts
TRAP RST7.5 RST6.5 RST 5.5 INTR

8085

98

Software
Software interrupts are program instructions. These instructions inserted at desired locations in a program. While running a program, if software interrupt instruction is encountered then the processor executes an interrupt service routine
99

Software Interrupts
RST0, RST1, RST2, RST3, RST4, RST5, RST6, RST7

100

Hardware
If an interrupt is initiated in a processor by an appropriate signal at the interrupt pin, then the interrupt is called Hardware interrupt

101

Distinction between software and hardware Interrupt


Software interrupt is initiated by the main program, but the Hardware interrupt is initiated by an external device. In 8085, the Software interrupt cannot be disabled or masked but the Hardware interrupt except TRAP can be disabled or masked.

102

Five Hardware Interrupts in 8085


1. INTR is maskable 8080A compatible interrupt. 2. RST5.5 is a maskable interrupt for registering into Stack 3. ST6.5 is a maskable interrupt. 4. RST7.5 is a maskable interrupt 5. Trap is a non-mask able highest priority interrupt.
103

What is masking and why it is required


Masking is preventing the interrupt from disturbing the current program execution. When the processor is performing an important job (process) and if the process should not be interrupted then all the interrupts should be masked or disabled. In processor with multiple 'interrupts, the lower priority interrupt can be masked so as to prevent it from interrupting, the execution of interrupt service routine of higher priority interrupt.

Core memory (Magnetic memory)


Use small magnetic ceramic rings, the cores, through which wires are threaded to store information via the polarity of the magnetic field Such memory is often just called core memory Each ring stores one bit (a 0 or 1). To select a memory location, X & Y lines are driven with half the current required to cause this change.

PROM
o PROMs (Programmable Read-Only Memory) written to (programmed) via a special device, a PROM programmer. o Writing often takes the form of permanently destroying or creating internal links (fuses or antifuses) with the result that a PROM can only be programmed once.
140

2.EPROM
o EPROM's (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) be erased by exposure to ultraviolet light then rewritten via an EPROM programmer. Repeated exposure to ultraviolet light will eventually destroy the EPROM but it generally takes many (greater than 1000) exposures before the EPROM becomes unusable. EPROM's can be easily identified by the circular 'window' in the top which allows the UV light to enter. Once programmed, this window is typically covered by a label to prevent accidental erasure.
