Ans.
The status signals can be used by the system designer to track the internal
operations of the processor. Also, it can be used for memory expansion (by providing
separate memory banks for program & data and selecting the bank using status signals).
Q31. What is interrupt acknowledge cycle?
Ans.
The interrupt acknowledge cycle is a machine cycle executed by 8085 processor to
get the address of the interrupt service routine in-order to service the interrupt device.
Q32. What is Software interrupts?
Ans.
The Software interrupts are program instructions. These instructions are 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.
Q33. What is Hardware interrupt?
Ans.
If an interrupt is initiated in a processor by an appropriate signal at the interrupt pin,
then the interrupt is called Hardware interrupt.
Q34. What are the modes in which 8086 can operate?
Ans.
The 8086 can operate in two modes and they are minimum (or uniprocessor) mode
and maximum (or multiprocessor) mode.
Q35. What is the data and address size in 8086?
Ans.
The 8086 can operate on either 8-bit or 16-bit data. The 8086 uses 20-bit address to
access memory and 16-bit address to access I/O devices.
low.
Q36. Write the flags of 8086.
Ans.
The 8086 has nine flags and they are:
1. Carry Flag (CF)
Q37. Explain the function of M/IO’ in 8086.
Ans.
The signal M/IO‘ is used to differentiate memory address and I/O address. When
the processor is accessing memory locations, M/IO‘ is asserted high and when it is
accessing I/O mapped devices, M/IO‘ is asserted
2. Parity Flag (PF)
3. Auxiliary carry Flag (AF)
4. Zero Flag (ZF)
5. Sign Flag (SF)
6. Overflow Flag (OF)
7. Trace Flag (TF)
8. Interrupt Flag (IF)
9. Direction Flag (DF)
Q38. What are the interrupts of 8086?
Ans.
The interrupts of 8085 are INTR and NMI. The INTR is general maskable interrupt
and NMI is non-maskable interrupt.
