Give example for Non-Maskable interrupts?
Trap is known as Non-Maskable interrupts, which is used in emergency condition.

Give examples for Micro controller?
Z80, Intel MSC51 &96, Motorola are the best examples of Microcontroller.

What is clock frequency for 8085?
3 MHz is the maximum clock frequency for 8085.

Give an example of one address microprocessor?
8085 is a one address microprocessor.

Give examples for 8 / 16 / 32 bit Microprocessor?
8-bit Processor - 8085 / Z80 / 6800; 16-bit Processor - 8086 / 68000 / Z8000; 32-bit Processor - 80386 / 80486

What is meant by a bus?
A bus is a group of conducting lines that carriers data, address, & control signals.

What are the various registers in 8085?
Accumulator register, Temporary register, Instruction register, Stack Pointer, Program Counter are the various registers in 8085

Why crystal is a preferred clock source?
Because of high stability, large Q (Quality Factor) & the frequency that doesn’t drift with aging. Crystal is used as a clock source most of the times.

In 8085 which is called as High order / Low order Register?
Flag is called as Low order register & Accumulator is called as High order Register.

Name 5 different addressing modes?

TCS Latest Placement Paper Questions - 2014 (7)

1. Dinalal divides his property among his four sons after donating Rs.20,000 and 10% of his remaining property. The amounts received by the last three sons are in arithmetic progression and the amount received by the fourth son is equal to the total amount donated. The first son receives as his share RS.20,000 more than the share of the second son. The last son received RS.1 lakh less than the eldest son. 10. Find the share of the third son.  a) Rs.80,000 b) Rs.1,00,000 c) Rs.1,20,000  d) Rs.1,50,000 Ans: Assume the amounts received by the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sons are a+d, a, a-d (as they are in AP) Now Eldest son received Rs.20,000 more than the 2nd son.  So He gets a+d+20,000 Last son received 1 lakh less than the eldest son. So (a+d+20,000) - (a-d) = 1,00,000  ⇒ 2d = 80,000  ⇒ d = 40,000 So Amounts received by the 4 sons are a + 60,000, a+40,000, a, a - 40,000 It was given that the youngest son's share is equal to 20,000 + 1 2 (His ...
