PIN DIAGRAM OF 8085 MICROPROCESSOR WITH DESCRIPTION

7) Describe the pin out of 8085 microprocessor with neat description

8085 is a general purpose microprocessor having 40 pins and works on single
power supply. To study the pin diagram we group the signals into 5 categories:
1.Power Supply
2.Clock Signals
3.Interrupt Signals
4.Address and Data bus
5.Control and Status signals
6.Serial I/O Port
7.DMA Request Signals

Power Supply Signal and clock signal:

VCC:-Vcc is to be connected to +5V power supply.
Vss:-Ground reference
X1 and X2:- This pin is used for providing the clock frequency to the
microprocessor. Generally Crystal oscillator or LC oscillator is used to generate
the frequency. The frequency generated here is internally divided into two.As we
know that the basic operating timing frequency of the microprocessor is 3 MHz
so 6 MHz frquency is applied.

Serial Input Output port:SID and SOD:-These pins are used for serial data communication.

Interrupt Signal:Pin 6 to 11:- These pins are used for interrupt signals. Generally and external
devices are connected here which requests the microprocessor to perform a
particular task.
There are 5 pins for hardware interruptsTRAP, RST7.5, RST 6.5, RST5.5 and INTR
INTA is used for acknowledgement. Microprocessor sends the acknowledgement
to external devices through the INTA pin.

Address Bus and DATA Buses:AD0-AD7:-These are multiplexed address and data bus. So it can be used to carry
the lower order 8 bit address as well as the data. Generally these lines are
demultiplexed using the Latch.
During the opcode fetch operation, in the first clock cycle the lines deliever the
lower order address bus A0-A7.
In the subsequent IO/M read or write it is used as data bus D0-D7. CPU can read
or write data through these lines.
A8-A15:- These are address bus used to address the memory location.
