Duration : 3 Hrs Max Marks: 100

Answer any five questions choosing at least two from each part

PART A
Q1.
a) Bring out the architectural differences between Von
Neumann & Harvard architecture. (6M)
b) With neat diagrams, give the details of program memory &
data memory of 8051. (8M)
c) Discuss the Port 0 Configuration of 8051. (6M)

8051 (8M)
b) Explain the following instructions
i) SETB ii) XCHD iii) DA A iv) DIV (8M)
c) Write an ALP to convert a 2-digit Hex number to BCD. (4M)

Q3. a) What are the different ranges associated with JUMP

instructions of 8051?. (6M)
b) Explain different interrupts with their priorities . (6M)
c) Assume that the INT1 pin is connected to a switch that is
normally high. Whenever it goes low , it should turn on the
LED. The LED is connected to P1.3 and is normally off. When
it is turned on it should stay on for a fraction of a second. As
long as the switch is pressed low, the LED should stay on.
(8M)
Q4. a) A door sensor is connected to the p1.1 pin and a buzzer is
connected to p1.7. Write an 8051 C Program to monitor the door
sensor & when it opens , sound the buzzer. You can sound the
buzzer by sending a square wave of a few hundred Hz. (8M)
b) Assuming that ROM space starting at 250H contains “ INDIA” . Write
a program to transfer the bytes in to RAM locations starting at 40H.
( 6M)
d) What are the two different ways of transferring a byte of data
serially. Write an 8051 C program to send out the value 44H serially
one bit at a time via P1.0. The LSB should go out first. (6M)

switch off heater to bring down the temperature. if the measured
temperature (TMeas) is below Tref Turn ON the heater to increase
the temperature. Use ADC 804 and temperature sensor LM35, with
Vref/2 = 1.28V at ADC to get digital O/P proportional to
temperature . (10M)
