    Microprocessors and Interfacing


    Assignment 1: Detailed Solution
    Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati

    Question-1: If [CS]=348AH, [IP]=4214H, then the 20-bit physical address from which the code is
    accessed will be
    (A) 455CAH (B) 0769EH (C) 390B4H (D) 38AB4H
    Correct Answer: D
    Detailed Solution: Effective address= Base address of CS register X 10H + Address of IP
    = 348AH X 10H + 4214H
    = 38AB4H

    Question-2: Setting of direction flag in 8086 causes,


    (A) The microprocessor to operate in single stepping mode
    (B) The microprocessor to operate in break point mode
    (C) The microprocessor string operations in auto increment mode
    (D) The microprocessor string operations in auto decrement mode
    Correct Answer: D
    Detailed Solution: If directional flag is set (1), then the string data is accessed from higher memory location
    towards lower memory location.

    Question-3: In order to read a word from the memory location 5000AH in a single bus cycle, the status of
    the 8086 signals A0 and BHE should be

    (A) A0  0, BHE  0
    (B) A0  0, BHE  1
    (C) A0  1, BHE  0
    (D) A0  1, BHE  1

    Correct Answer: A
    ̅̅̅̅̅̅ = 0 is used as a memory enable signal
    Detailed Solution: As a word is to be read from the memory, 𝐵𝐻𝐸
    and the memory location 5000AH is even, A0 = 0 for even address.

    Question-4: If [BX]=0050H, [DS]=2000H, [00500H]=80H, [20050H]=08H, [CX]=5000H, then after


    MOV CL,[BX] instruction is executed the contents of CX will be
    (A)0050H (B)5008H (C) 5080H (D) 0008H
    Correct Answer: B
    Detailed Solution: [DS] X 10H + [BX]
    = 20000H + 0050H

    = 20050H

    After the execution of MOV CL,[BX] which copies the contents of the memory at address
    BX to CL, the contents of CX will be 5008H.

    Question-5: Before the execution of POP instruction the stack pointer points to FFFFH. The contents of
    the stack pointer after execution of POP instruction will be
    (A) FFFFH (B) 0000H (C) 0001H (D) 0002H
    Correct Answer: C
    Detailed Solution: After the execution of POP instruction, the stack pointer is automatically incremented
    by 2 to point to the next word on the stack.

    Question-6: If [AL]=35H and [BL]=39H, after the execution of the following instructions
    ADD AL, BL
    AAA
    the contents of AL will be

    (A) 6EH (B) 3EH (C) 14H (D) 04H


    Correct Answer: D
    Detailed Solution: Numerical data coming into a computer from a terminal is usually in ASCII code. In this
    code, the numbers 0 to 9 are represented by the ASCII codes 30H to 39H. The 8086 allows to add the
    ASCII codes for two decimal digits without masking off the “3” in the upper nibble of each. After the
    addition, the AAA instruction is used to make sure the result is the correct unpacked BCD.
    If the addition produces a decimal carry (AF=1), the AH register is incremented and the carry (CF) and
    auxiliary carry (AF) flags are set to 1. If the addition did not produce a decimal carry, CF and AF are
    cleared to 0 and AH is not altered. In both cases, the high-order 4 bits of AL are cleared to 0.

    Question-7: Which of the following is unpacked BCD number


    (A) 23 (B) 2B (C) 08 (D) 0A
    Correct Answer: C
    Detailed Solution: Unpacked BCD number contains only one decimal digit per byte. The digit is stored in
    the least significant 4 bits and rest of the bits are 0.

    Question-8: The WAIT instruction causes the 8086 to enter into ideal state until
    (A) The LOCK pin is made LOW
    (B) The LOCK pin is made HIGH
    (C) The TEST pin is made LOW
    (D) The TEST pin is made HIGH
    Correct Answer: C
    Detailed Solution: If the TEST pin is Low, execution continues otherwise the processor waits in an "idle"
    state.

    Question-9: If [AX]=009BH, after the execution of CBW instruction the contents of AX will be
    (A) 009BH (B) FF9BH (C) 0000H (D) 9B9BH
    Correct Answer: B
    Detailed Solution: CBW converts the signed value in the AL register into an equivalent 16 bit signed value
    in the AX register by duplicating the sign bit to the left. This instruction copies the sign (bit 7) in the source
    operand into every bit in the AH register.

    Question-10: Which of the following is not an 8086 maximum mode signal?

    (A) LOCK (B) S0 (C) ALE (D) QS0

    Correct Answer: C
    Detailed Solution: ALE is a minimum mode signal.
