Microprocessor 8080.

The document discusses the Intel 8080 microprocessor, an early 8-bit CPU released in 1974. It had an 8-bit data bus, 16-bit address bus, and clock speed up to 2 MHz. The 8080 was used in the commercially successful Altair 8800 personal computer. It consisted of a single chip containing an ALU, registers, control logic, and I/O buffers. While pioneering, it had limitations like a small instruction set and lack of direct I/O instructions compared to the improved 8085 microprocessor.

introduction
The 8080 microprocessor was released in 1974 and was the first microprocessor to
be used in a commercially successful personal computer, the Altair 8800. It had an
8-bit data bus, a 16-bit address bus, and a clock speed of up to 2 MHz .
What is 8080 Microprocessor ?
1-An 8080 microprocessor is an 8-bit parallel CPU, and
this microprocessor is used in general purpose digital
computer systems.
2-It is made up on a single large-scale integration chip
using Intel’s N-channel silicon gate MOS process.
3-The microprocessor 8080 consists of 40 pins and it
microprocessor transfers internal information and data
through an 8- bit, bidirectional 3-state data bus (D0-
D7).
4-The peripheral device addresses and memory
addresses are transmitted over a 16-bit 3-state
address bus (A0-A15).
8080 Microprocessor’s Architecture
The functional blocks of the microprocessor 8080 is shown in the
above architecture, and its CPU consists of the following functional
units:
• Address Logic and Register Array
• Arithmetic and Logic Unit
• Control Section and Instruction Register
• Bi directional, 3 State Data Bus Buffer
Arithmetic and Logic Unit
The ALU includes the following registers:
• An 8-bit Accumulator
• An 8-bit Temporary Accumulator (TMP)
• An 8-bit Temporary Register
• A Flag Register
Difference between 8080 and 8085 Microprocessor
Feature 8080 8085
Data bus width 8 bits 8 bits
Address bus width 16 bits 16 bits
Clock speed Up to 2 MHz Up to 3 MHz
