MOV DPTR,#4500H MOVX A,@DPTR INC DpH MOVX @DPTR,A What does the above program perform?
- A.
Copies the content of memmory location 4500H to 4501H
- B.
Copies the content of memmory location 4500H to 4600H
- C.
Copies the content of memmory location 4501H to 4500H
- D.
Copies the content of memmory location 4600H to 4500H
Correct Answer
B. Copies the content of memmory location 4500H to 4600HExplanation
The given program performs the task of copying the content of memory location 4500H to memory location 4600H. This is achieved by first loading the address of 4500H into the DPTR register using the MOV instruction. Then, the MOVX instruction is used to move the content of the memory location pointed by DPTR (4500H) into the accumulator register A. Next, the DPH register is incremented to point to the next memory location (4501H). Finally, the MOVX instruction is used again to move the content of the accumulator A into the memory location pointed by DPTR (4600H).Rate this question:

2's complement of the number 10H
- A.
20H
- B.
EFH
- C.
F0H
- D.
E0H
Correct Answer
C. F0HExplanation
The 2's complement of a number is obtained by taking the 1's complement (flipping all the bits) and then adding 1 to the result. In this case, the number is 10H, which is 00010000 in binary. Taking the 1's complement gives 11101111, and adding 1 gives 11110000, which is F0H in hexadecimal. Therefore, the correct answer is F0H.Rate this question:

What does the following instruction perform? CPL A
- A.
Compare the lower nibble of A with that of B
- B.
Complement Accumulator
- C.
Compare the lower nibble of A with upper nibble of A
- D.
None of These
Correct Answer
B. Complement AccumulatorExplanation
The instruction "CPL A" performs the operation of complementing the value in the Accumulator register. This means that all bits in the Accumulator are inverted, so if a bit was originally 0, it becomes 1, and if it was originally 1, it becomes 0. This operation does not involve any comparison with other registers or nibbles.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 6Explanation
The 8051 microcontroller has a total of 6 interrupt sources, including the RESET interrupt. Interrupts are signals that can interrupt the normal program flow and allow the microcontroller to respond to external events. These interrupt sources can be used for various purposes such as timer overflow, external hardware interrupts, and serial communication interrupts. The RESET interrupt is a special type of interrupt that is triggered when the microcontroller is reset. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.Rate this question:

- A.
EXTERNAL INT0(IE0)
- B.
TIMER 0
- C.
EXTERNAL INT1(IE1)
- D.
TIMER 1
Correct Answer
A. EXTERNAL INT0(IE0)Explanation
The highest priority interrupt in the 8051 microcontroller is the EXTERNAL INT0(IE0) interrupt. This interrupt is triggered by an external signal on the INT0 pin and has the highest priority among all the interrupts in the 8051. When this interrupt occurs, the microcontroller stops the current execution and jumps to the interrupt service routine associated with the EXTERNAL INT0 interrupt. This interrupt is commonly used for critical events that require immediate attention, such as external hardware events or real-time input signals.Rate this question:

Parity flag in 8051 is set when,
- A.
No. of 1s in Accumulator is odd
- B.
No. of 1s in Accumulator is even
- C.
No. of 0s in Accumulator is odd
- D.
No. of 0s in Accumulator is even
Correct Answer
A. No. of 1s in Accumulator is oddExplanation
The parity flag in the 8051 microcontroller is set when the number of 1s in the accumulator is odd. This means that if there are an odd number of 1s in the accumulator, the parity flag will be set to indicate this. Conversely, if there are an even number of 1s in the accumulator, the parity flag will not be set. The parity flag is used to perform parity checks, which are used to detect errors in data transmission.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 8Explanation
The correct answer is 8 because the PSW (Program Status Word) register is typically used to store the status of the processor. In most architectures, it consists of 8 bits which represent various flags such as carry, zero, overflow, etc. These flags are used to indicate the outcome of arithmetic and logical operations performed by the processor. Therefore, the total number of bits in the PSW register is 8.Rate this question:
