6. Introduction
 Intel 8085 is an 8 bit microprocessor
introduced by Intel in 1977.
 The 8085 follows the von Neumann
architecture with a 16 bit address bus and
8 bit data bus.
 It can access 216 (65536) individual 8 bit
memory locations (64KB)
 Has built in register:
 A (accumulator), B,C,D,E,H and L (8 bit)
 Special purpose register: 16 bit program
counter, stack pointer, and 8 bit flag register

7. Von Neumann Architecture
 Share memory for program and data with
one data bus and one address bus
between processor and memory.
 Instruction and data have to be fetched in
sequential order, limiting the operation
bandwidth.
 Its design is simpler than that of
architecture.
 It is mostly used to interface to external
memory.

8. Harvard Architecture
 Uses physically separate memories for
instruction and data, requiring dedicated
buses for each of them.
 Instruction and operands can be fetched
simultaneously.
 Different program and data bus widths are
possible, allowing program and data
memory to be better optimized to the
architectural requirements.

15. Introduction
μp is a programmable integrated device that has
computing and decision making capability, similar
to CPU of a computer.
Can be:
 1) embedded in a larger system
 2) a stand alone unit controlling processor
μp communicates and operates in the binary
number 0 & 1, called bits.
Each μp has a fixed set of instructions in the form
of binary patterns called machine language.
The binary instructions are given abbreviated
names, called mnemonics, form the assembly
language.

16. Microprocessor
 A μp is a multipurpose,
programmable, clock-driven, register
based electronic device that reads
binary instructions from a storage
device called memory, accepts binary
data as input and process data
according to those instructions and
provides results as output.

17. Cont..
 A typical programmable machine can be
represented with 4 components:
 Microprocessor
 Memory
 Input
 Output
 These 4 components will form a system.
 The physical components --> hardware
 A set of instructions program
 A group of program is called software

18. Cont..
 The μp applications are clssified
primarily in two categories:
Reprogrammable system (PC)
Embedded system (washing
machine)
 In embedded system, μp is a part of
a final product and is not available for
reprogramming to the end user.

19. Binary Digits
 μp operates in binary digits, 0 & 1, known
as bits.
 Represented in terms of electrical voltage.
 A group of bits called a word.
 μp p with an 8 bit word is known as an 8
bit μp.

20. μp as a CPU
 Figure 1.2
 μp is a primary components of a computer.
 The computer has 4 components:
 Memory
 Input
 Output
 CPU
 CPU contains various registers to store data ,
the ALU to perform arithmetic and logical
operations, instruction decoders, counter and
control lines.

21. Arithmetic Logic unit
 Is the area of microprocessor where
various computing functions are
performed on data such as addition,
subtraction, logic operations (AND, Or and
exclusive OR).

22. Register Array
 This area of μp identified by letters such
as B, C, D, E,H and L.
 Used to store data temporarily during the
execution of a program and are accessible
to the user through instructions.

23. Control Unit
 Provides the necessary timong and control
signals to all the operations in the
microcomputer.
 Control the flow of data between μp and
memory and peripheral.

24. Memory
 Two types of memory:
 ROM (read only memory)
 RAM ( random access memory)

25. Input/Output
 Used to communicate with the outside
world.
 The I/O device is knows as peripherals.
 Input devices:
 Keyboard
 Switches
 ADC
 Output devices:
 LED
 DAC
 LCD

26. System Bus
 Is a communication path between
microprocessor and peripherals.
 A group of wires to carry bits.
 Three types of bus:
 Address bus
 Data bus
 Control bus

28. High Level Language
 Programming languages that are intended
to be machine –independent are called
high level language.
 Examples: BASIC, PASCAL, C, C++ and
Java.
 Instructions written in these langugaes are
called statements rather than mnemonics.
 Compiler is used to convert the
statements to binary languages.

29. Cont..
 This translation in the machine language is
called object code.
 Compiler requires large memory space because
the statements requires several machine codes
to translate it to binary.
 There is one to one correspondence between
the assembly language mnemonics and the
machine code. Thus assembly language are
compact and use less memory space.
 The advantage of high level language is in
troubleshooting (debugging) programs. Much
easier to find errors in a program, in high level
language.
 Application: traffic control-assembly language
 Application: video games, billing where memory
is not a limitation- high level language
