Time: 3 Hours Total Marks: 100
Note: Attempt all Sections. If you require any missing data, then choose suitably.
SECTION A
1. Attempt all questions in brief. 2x10 = 20
Qno Questions CO
(a) List and briefly define the main structural components of a computer. CO1
(b) Differentiate between horizontal and vertical microprogramming. CO3
(c) Represent the following conditional control statements by two register CO1
transfer statements with control functions.
If(P=1) then (R1 R2) else if (Q=1) then (R1R3)
(d) Design a 4-bit combinational incremental circuit using four full adder CO2
circuits.
(e) Differentiate between Daisy chaining and centralized parallel CO5
arbitration.
(f) What is the transfer rate of an eight-track magnetic tape whose speed is CO5
120 inches per second and whose density is 1600 bits per inch?
(g) Register A holds the binary values 10011101.What is the register value CO2
after arithmetic shift right? Starting from the initial number 10011101,
determine the register value after arithmetic shift left, and state whether
there is an overflow.
(h) What is an Associative memory? What are its advantages and CO4
disadvantages?
(i) Differentiate between static RAM and Dynamic RAM. CO4
(j) What are the different types of instruction formats? CO3
SECTION B
2. Attempt any three of the following: 10x3 = 30
Qno Questions CO
(a) A digital computer has a common bus system for 8 registers of 16 bit CO1
each. The bus is constructed using multiplexers.
I. How many select input are there in each multiplexer?
II. What is the size of multiplexers needed?
III. How many multiplexers are there in the bus?
(b) Explain destination-initiated transfer using handshaking method. CO5
(c) Explain 2-bit by 2-bit Array multiplier. Draw the flowchart for divide CO2
operation of two numbers in signed magnitude form.
(d) A digital computer has a memory unit of 64K X 16 and a cache CO4
memory of 1K words. The cache uses direct mapping with a block size
of four words.
I. How many bits are there in the tag, index, block, and word
fields of the address format?
II. How many bits are there in each word of cache, and how
they are divided into functions? Include a valid bit.

3. Attempt any one part of the following: 10x1 = 10
Qno Questions CO
(a) A binary floating-point number has seven bits for a biased exponent. CO2
The constant used for the bias is 64.
I. List the biased representation of all exponents from -64 to +63.
II. Show that after addition of two biased exponents, it is necessary
to subtract 64 in order to have a biased exponent’s sum.
III. Show that after subtraction of two biased exponents, it is
necessary to add 64 in order to have a biased exponent’s
difference.
(b) Show the multiplication process using Booth algorithm, when the CO2
following binary numbers, (+13) x (-15) are multiplied.
