02․ 8085 microprocessor has how many pins

1)  30.

2) 39.

 3) 40.

4) 41.

 Intel 8085 NMOS microprocessor is a 8 bit, 40 pins IC. It is a 40 pin I.C. package fabricated on a single LSI chip. The Intel 8085 uses a single + 5 V DC supply for its operation.Its clock speed is about 3 MHz. The clock cycle is 320 ns. It has 80 basic instructions and 246 opcodes.

2. How are microcontrollers classified on the basis of internal bus width?

a) 8,16,32,64 bits
b) 4,8,16,32 bits
c) 8,16 bits
d) 4,16,32 bits 

Answer: b
Explanation: A microcontroller is classified as a 4 bit microcontroller if it executes a nibble at a time. It is called an 8 bit controller if it executes a byte at a time and is called 16 or 32 bit controller if it executes 2 and 4 bytes at a time respectively.

3. Give the names of the buses present in a controller for transferring data from one place to another?

a) data bus, address bus
b) data bus
c) data bus, address bus, control bus
d) address bus 

Answer: c
Explanation: There are 3 buses present in a microcontroller they are data bus (for carrying data from one place to another), address bus (for carrying the address to which the data will flow) and the control bus (which tells the controller to execute which type of work at that address may be it read or write operation).

04․ In 8085 name/names of the 16 bit registers is/are

1) stack pointer.

2) program counter.

3) both A and B.

4) none of these

Program counter (PC) and Stack pointer (SP) are basically used to hold 16 - bit memory addresses. PC stores the 16-bit memory address of the next instruction to be fetched. SP can be used to temporarily store the 16 - bit memory address as well as data. So PC and SP are 16-bit registers.

4. What is the file extension that is loaded in a microcontroller for executing any instruction?

a) .doc
b) .c
c) .txt
d) .hex 

Answer: d
Explanation: Microcontrollers are loaded with .hex extension as they understand the language of 0’s and 1’s only.

5. What is the most appropriate criterion for choosing the right microcontroller of our choice?

a) speed
b) availability
c) ease with the product
d) all of the mentioned 

Answer: d
Explanation: For choosing the right microcontroller for our product we must consider its speed so that the instructions may be executed in the least possible time. It also depends on the availability so that the particular product may be available in our neighboring regions or market in our need. It also depends on the compatibility with the product so that the best results may be obtained.
