Q:

Can 8259 he interfaced with 8085 via the trap pin?

Answer

Yes... so if 8529 gives interrupt then it will be serviced immediately but since INTA pin is left hanging the INSR bit will never be set.. and so whenever my interrupt occurs depending upon priority it will be serviced.. also the ISR address for all interrupts will be same ie 0024H..


Interrupt via trap is nonmaskable, so it will be serviced immediately.

Q:

What are the static and dynamic hazards in logic circuits?

Answer

If for a short period of time circuits goes to some different logic level then it is spposed to have then it is called static hazard. e.g., If the final logic value of output of given circuit becomes one vent if if is supposed to be zero then it is called static-0 Hazard and vice versa. Dynamic Hazard is the one in which the circuit output goes to some other logic level more than once then finally settling down to some appropriate level.

Q:

Give two ways of converting a two input NAND gate to an inverter.

Answer

One way is shorting the two inputs of the NAND gate and passing the input.


truth table:


A B output


1 1 0


0 0 1


The second way is passing the input to only one input (say A) of the NAND gate. Since the other input  (say B is floating, it is always logic one.


Truth table:


A B output


1 1 0 


0 1 1

Q:

Have you studied buses? What types?

Answer

There are three types of buses.


Address bus: This is used to carry the Address to the memory to fetch either Instruction or Data.


Data bus: This is used to carry the Data from the memory.


Control bus: This is used to carry the Control signals like RD/WR, Select etc.

Q:

What is Tri-state logic?

Answer

Three Logic Levels are used and they are High, Low, HIgh impedance state. The high and low are normal logic levels & high impedance state is electrical open circuit conditions. Tri-state logic has a third line called enable line.
