List of Practicals
Group A: Advanced 8085 microprocessor & Microcontrollers
A1. Experiments for 8085 and 8255

Any one experiment from 1 & 2 and 3 & 4

.
1. 16-bit Data manipulation (Addition, subtraction) Display result on Address field
2. Write ALP for Addition, Subtraction of two, 8-bit hex numbers. Note: Use Read
Keyboard Utility for inputting the hex numbers and display for the result on the
Address field.

 (ii) Write ALP to display binary count in UP sequence on the 8 LEDs

4. Interfacing 8 switches and 8 LEDs to 8255

(i) Write ALP read the status of the switches and display on the LEDs.
(ii) Write ALP so that when the first switch is made ON all the LEDs should
glow and when the second switch is made OFF all the LEDs should
become off.

A2. Experiments for 8031/8051/89C51

Any two experiments from 1, 2 and 3

1. 8031/51/89C51 assembly language programming:

nos., to rotate a 32- bit number, finding greatest/smallest number from a block of
data, decimal / hexadecimal counter)

2. Study of IN and OUT port of 8031/51/89C51 by Interfacing switches, and LEDs:

Interface 4 LEDs to one of the microcontrollers PORT.
Write ALP to display bit pattern on LED’s.

3. Interface 4 switches and 4 LEDs to one of the microcontrollers PORT.

Develop various types of logic to control LEDs depending on the
status/states/conditions of the 4 switches.
For example:
Write ALP such that when all four switches are ON all four LEDs should glow.
But when any two switches become OFF then all four LEDs should become OFF.
And so on……
