Group – C
4. (a) Describe briefly the interrupt system of 8085.What is the function of
the SIM instruction?
(b) Illustrate the steps and timing of data flow when the instruction and
data with codes (MVI A, 40H: 3EH and 40H) stored in location 8000H
and 8001H, is being fetched. If the clock frequency is 5 MHz, how much
time is required to execute this instruction?

them after 10 ms. Assume that a delay subroutine is available and Hex
address of Port A = 80 H.
6 + 6 = 12
7. (a) What is the purpose of the operational command words of 8259?

(c) Write down the control word for the following in
Mode 0 :
Port A = Input, Port B = Not used, Port CU = Input, Port CL= Output.
(2 + 4) + (3 + 3) = 12
