Features of 8085 Microprocessor


  • 8085 MPU is an 8-bit microprocessor i.e. it can accept, process and provide 8-bit data.
  • It operates on +5V power supply connected at Vcc.
  • Power supply ground is connected to Vss.
  • It has 8 data lines (D0 - D7).
  • It has 16 address lines (A0 - A15). It can access 2^16 = 64K of memory.
  • It has 8 bit I/O address. It can access 2^8 = 256 I/O ports.
  • It operates on clock cycle with 50% duty cycle.
  • It operates with a 3MHz clock frequency.
  • The lower 8-bit address bus (A0 - A7) and data bus (D0 - D7) are multiplexed to reduce number of external pins.
  • It has 8-bit accumulator, flag register, instruction register, six 8-bit general purpose registers (B, C, D, E, H and L) and two 16-bit registers (SP and PC).
  • It has five hardware interrupts. They are TRAP, RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5 and INTR.
  • It has serial I/O control which allows serial communication.
  • It has control signals (IO/M, RD, WR) to control bus cycles.
  • It has five addressing modes. They are: immediate, register, direct, indirect and implied.
  • It has powerful instruction set that can do various arithmetic operations and some logical operations.

Logical Group Instructions (Part-VI) - RLC, RRC, RAL, RAR

RLC: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the left by one bit. It will shift B0 to B1, B1 to B2,............B7 to B0 as well as to carry flag . Only CY flag is modified. It is a one byte instruction. Implied addressing mode is used. Before execution: After execution: Example: If A = 0101 0111 = 57H and CY = 1 RLC ; Now A = 10101110 = AEH and CY = 0. RRC: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the right by one bit. It will shift B7 to B6, B6 to B5,............B0 to B7 as well as to carry flag. Only CY flag is modified. It is a one byte instruction. Implied addressing mode is used. Before execution: After execution: Example: If A = 1001 1010 = 9AH and CY = 1 RLC ; Now A = 0100 1101 = 4DH and CY = 0. RAL: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the left by one bit along with the carry . It will shift B0 to B1, B1 to B2,............B7 to CY and CY to B0 . Only CY flag is modifi...

Program to pack the two unpacked BCD numbers

Statement: Pack the two unpacked BCD numbers stored in memory locations 2000H and 2001H and store the result in memory location 2002H. The least significant digit is stored at 2000H. Example: (2000H) = 04H (2001H) = 09H Result = (2002H) = 94H Program: LDA 2001H                        ; Obtain the most significant BCD digit RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left...

Program to exchange the contents of two memory locations

Statement: Exchange the contents of memory locations 2000H and 2001H. Example:  Initially, (2000H) = 34H (2001H) = 20H After exchanging, (2000H) = 20H (2001H) = 34H Program 1 using direct addressing instructions: LDA 2000H               ; Get the contents of location 2000H into accumulator MOV B, A                  ; Move the contents of accumulator into register B LDA 2001H                ; Get the contents of location 2001H into accumulator STA 2000H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2000H MOV A, B                  ; Move the contents of register B into accumulator STA 2001H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2001H HLT  ...
