Assignment No 4 I/O Organization and DMA Controller

Course No. CSE211 Course Title: Computer Organization and Architecture

Q1. Enlist major differences that exist between central computer and the peripheral devices. What role does an interface play in resolving these differences? Q2. Quote some practical references to demonstrate isolated v/s Memory-mapped I/O. Q3. Strobe control mechanism for asynchronous data transfer does not ensure whether the data transmitted by source unit is accepted by destination unit. Suggest possible enhancement(s) to this mechanism to overcome this limitation? Q4. Design parallel priority interrupt hardware for a system with eight interrupt resources. Q5. How many characters per second can be transmitted over a 1200-baud line in each of the following modes? (Assume a character code of eight bits). (a) Synchronous serial transmission (b) Asynchronous serial transmission with two stop bits. (c) Asynchronous serial transmission with one stop bits. Q6. Consider a computer with priority interrupt hardware. Any one of many sources can interrupt the computer and any interrupt request results in storing the return address and branching to a common interrupt routine. Explain how a priority can be established in the interrupt service program? Q7. Design the architecture of DMA mode of operation and illustrate how various components namely, CPU, RAM, DMA Controller and I/O Peripheral interface each other. Q8 Why does DMA have priority over the CPU when both request a memory transfer?
