Department of Information and Communication Technology Course: ICT-3205: Computer Architecture and Microprocessor

The document discusses 8085 microprocessor instructions and writing assembly language programs. It covers arithmetic operations performed by the 8085 like addition, subtraction, increment, and decrement. It also discusses the modular design approach for writing programs by breaking tasks into small independent units. Finally, it outlines the 7 steps for writing a program which includes understanding the problem, designing a flowchart, translating to mnemonics, machine code, execution, and debugging. The document provides an introduction to 8085 instructions and the process of writing assembly language programs.

Arithmetic Operations
The 8085 microprocessor performs various arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction,
increment, and decrement. These arithmetic operations have the following mnemonics:

Writing Assembly Language Programs


Any program, no matter how large, begins with mnemonics. And just as several person contribute to the
construction of a hundred –story building, so the writing of a large program is usually the work of a team.
In addition, the 8085 instruction set contains only 74 different instructions, some of them used quite
frequently.

In a hundred story building, most of the rooms are similar. If one knows the basic fundamentals of
constructing a room, one can learn how to tie these rooms together in a coherent structure. However,
planning and forethought are critical. Before beginning to build a structure, an architectural plan must be
drawn. Similarly, to write a program, one needs to draw up a plan of logical thoughts. A given task should
be broken down into small units that can be built independently. This is called the modular design
approach.

Writing a program is equivalent to giving specific commands to the microprocessor in a sequence to


perform a task. The italicized words provide clues to writing a program. Let us examine these terms:

 Perform a Task – What is the task you are asking it to do?

 Sequence – What is the sequence you want it to follow?

 Commands – What are the commands (instruction set) it can understand?

These terms can be translated into steps as follows:

Step 1: Read the problem carefully.

Step 2: Break it down into small steps.

Step 3: Represent these small steps in a possible sequence with a flowchart – a plan of attack.

Step 4: Translate each block of the flowchart into appropriate mnemonic instructions.

Step 5: Translate mnemonics into the machine code.

Step 6: Enter the machine code in memory and execute. Only on rare occasions is a program successfully
executed on the first attempt.
Step 7: Start troubleshooting (Debugging a program).
