PAPERIII

NOTE :

J8809

This paper is of two hundred (200) marks containing four (4) sections.
Candidates are required to attempt the questions contained in these sections
according to the detailed instructions given therein.

SECTION - I
Note :

This section contains five (5) questions based on the following

paragraph. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30)
words and each carries five (5) marks.
(5x5=25 marks)

Microprocessors came in use from 1971 with the design of 4004 microcontrollers
at INTEL. 4004 was a 4bit device. Soon 8bit microprocessors dominated the scene.
The players from 8-bit microprocessors were 8085, 6800, 6502, Z80 and so on.
Microprocessors contain CPU, registers and timing and control circuits. The addressable
capabilities of 8bit microprocessors are limited to 64 kB, beside its 8bit data handling
capacity. This led to the development of higher microprocessors like 8086, 80286 from
Intel and other manufacturers. However, spread sheets, CAD and other scientific and
commercial applications required still higher versions of microprocessors. This led to
the development of 32bit and 64bit microprocessors. The main use of a microprocessor
is as a CPU of a computer system which requires an operating system for its operation.
The large addressing capacity, more onchip functionality, higher speed etc. are all
possible due to developments in VLSI technology.
