57. Interface 8251 with 8085 Microprocessor.

58. Write short note on: RS 232C

NOTE: In GTU out of 70 marks generally 14 marks weightage is assigned

to Programming .

Programs are generally asked based on following topics:

• Timing delays.

• Conversions ( like Binary to BCD)

• Data transfer

• Arithmetic

• Logical

• Stack related

• Branching ( Call & JMP instructions)

NOTE: In Microprocessor figures are more important. If your figure is

perfect then no paper-checker is going to read your write-up.

 So concentrate more on figures rather than write-up.

***Best of Luck***
