Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 3:
The instruction RST 7 is a:

a. Restart instruction that begins the execution of a program.

b. One-byte call to the memory address 0038H.

c. One-byte call to the memory address 0007H.

d. Hardware interrupt.

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution:

When RST 7 instruction encountered corresponding ISR starting at memory location 7*8 =
(56)10 = (38)16 is executed.

QUESTION 6:

Multiply 03H and B2H (two 8-bit numbers) stored in memory locations 2200H and 2201H
by repetitive addition and store the result in memory locations 2300H and 2301H. The
output in 2300H and 2301H is

a. 04H and 16H

b. 16H and 02H

c. 03H and 16H

d. 16H and 03H

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution: (2200H) = 03H ; (2201H) = B2H

Result = B2H + B2H + B2H = 216H ; (2300H) = 16H ; (2301H) = 02H

QUESTION 7:

QUESTION 8:
An interrupt in which the external device supplies it’s address as well as the interrupt
request is _______________ interrupt

a. Vectored
b. Maskable
c. Non- Maskable
d. Designated
Correct Answer: A

Detailed Solution:

QUESTION 9:
How many 8-bit characters can be transmitted per second over a 9600 baud serial
communication link using asynchronous mode of transmission with one start bit, eight
data bits, two stop bits, and one parity bit?

a) 600

b) 800

c) 1000

d) 1200

Correct Answer: b

Detailed Solution: "9600 baud" means that the serial port is capable of transferring a
maximum of 9600 bits per second.
Total Data To send = 1 bit(start) + 8 bits (char size) + 1 bit (Parity) + 2 bits (Stop) = 12
bits.
Number of 8-bit characters that can be transmitted per second = 9600/12 = 800.

QUESTION 10:
The interrupt control logic

a) manages interrupts

b) manages interrupt acknowledge signals

c) accepts interrupt acknowledge signal

d) all of the mentioned

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution: The interrupt control logic performs all the operations that are
involved within the interrupts like accepting and managing interrupt acknowledge signals,
interrupts.

QUESTION 11:
At the end of ISR, the instruction should be

a. HLT

b. RET

c. END

d. NOP

Correct Answer: B

Detailed Solution:

After the execution of the ISR , the control must go to the previous program which was
being executed. To execute it RET is placed at the end of ISR.

QUESTION 15:
The contents of the accumulator is BAH, after execution of SIM instruction

a. Reset the RST 7.5 flip-flop memory

b. Set the RST 7.5 flip-flop memory
c. Reset the RST 6.5 flip-flop memory

Correct Answer: a

Detailed Solution: Bit 4 of the accumulator in the SIM instruction allows explicitly
resetting the RST 7.5 memory
