Digital Logic and Microprocessors Questions
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This arithmetic instruction in 8086 adds two binary operands and a carry and places the result in the destination.
-
Register
-
Memory
-
Direct
-
Indirect
-
Register indirect
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This addressing mode in 8086 is the way to specify the location of an operand to memory.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A NOR gate outputs ON (logic 1) only when all inputs are OFF (logic 0). The NOR operation is equivalent to NOT-OR: it outputs 1 only when all inputs are 0, and outputs 0 if any input is 1. This makes it the logical complement of the OR gate.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This bit of status register in the architecture of 8087 co-processor is used for over flow error that indicates a result which is too large to be represented.
-
LOD SB
-
LOD SW
-
STO SB
-
MOV AX, 54H
-
HLT
C
Correct answer
Explanation
STO SB meand Store Byte to String. This instruction is used in 8085 to store a byte from AL into a string location in memory.
-
Flag register
-
Control system
-
ALU
-
Instruction decoder
-
GPRs
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This main part of Execution Unit is a 16-bit register having 16 flip flops that shows the condition or changes produced by the execution of an instruction.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This data transfer instruction in 8086 microprocessor is used to copy data from source memory location to destination.
-
A19/S6
-
INTR
-
NMI
-
BHE/S7
-
RESET
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Pin 8086 is a bus high enable signal that shows the data transfer over the higher order (D15-D8) data bus.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This pair of registers in general purpose registers is used as a memory pointer in data segment and is also used for based indexed and register indirect addressing modes.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This instruction in 8086 microprocessor is used for signed multiplication.
-
STC no operand
-
STD no operand
-
STI no operand
-
CLC no operand
-
CLD no operand
C
Correct answer
Explanation
STI stands for Set Interrupt. This is a flag manipulation instruction in 8086, which is the interrupt flag set by the instruction that helps processor to identify the maskable interrupt on INTR pin.

Explanation
It is a physical device which performs a logical operation on one or more logical inputs.
-
Multiplexer
-
Magnitude comparator
-
Register
-
Cache memory
-
Parity generator
C
Correct answer
Explanation
An array of flip-flops is known as register. So, this is the correct answer.
-
Demultiplexer
-
Multiplexer
-
Magnitude Comparator
-
SR Flip-Flop
-
JK Flip Flop
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Demultiplexer has a single input data and multiple output. So, this a correct option.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Stack are 16-bit segment registers used to contain data and return addresses of procedures or subroutines.
