3. Write a ALP in 8085 to transfer 20 bytes of data in a table to another table by interchanging D1 and D4 bits of
each byte. (6) [2075 Baisakh]

Solution:

Hint:
To interchange D1 and D4 in each data byte
Data Byte: D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
ANDing by: 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 = 12H to check D4 and D1 bit
Possible result: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 00H (if D1=0 & D4=0 no need to interchange)
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 = 02H (if D1=1 & D4=0 complement both bits for interchange)
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 = 10H (if D1=0 & D4=1 complement both bits for interchange)
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 = 12H (if D1=1 and D4=1 no need to interchange)

11. Write a program to convert ten BCD numbers stored at 4350H to binary and store the result at 4360H. (8)
[2069 Bhadra]

Solution:

Hint:
Algorithm:
1. Load the BCD number in the accumulator
2. Unpack the 2 digit BCD number into two separate digits. Let the left digit be BCD1and the right one BCD2
3. Multiply BCD1 by 10 and add BCD2 to it
If the 2 digit BCD number is 72, then its binary equivalent will be 7 x OAH + 2 = 46H + 2 = 48H
Input : 72H (0111 0010)2
Output : 48H (in hexadecimal) (0011 0000)2
