QUIZ # 1: Instruction Fetch and Execute Cycle & Bus
Max Marks = 25; Max Time: 25 minutes
BUS = 16
Please write your answers in the space provided. MP lines RAM

Statement
Above diagram shows a microprocessor (MP) and its connection to the RAM via Bus of 16 lines. The
following table A shows a piece of assembly language code for the MP microprocessor and table B shows
data values at some memory locations (all numbers are Hex):

TABLE A - INSTRCUTIONS
No. Memory Address Instruction Machine Code Comments
1 F1FD LOAD B12D 10 B12D Move the contents of address
location B12D into AC
2 F1FE SUB B12E 11 B12E AC  AC - Contents of
address location B12E
3 F1FF ADD B12F 01 B12F AC  AC + Contents of
address location B12F
4 F200 SUB B130 11 B130 AC  AC - Contents of
address location B130
5 F201 STORE B12D 00 B12D Store value of AC at location
B12D

TABLE B – DATA
ADDRESS CONTENTS
B12D 05
B12E 02
B12F 07
B130 04

Initially Program Counter (PC) = F1FD, Accumulator (AC) = 0 and

Instruction Register (IR) = ?. For Questions 1-4 please give one line description otherwise you will get
0
1. What is the word size for MP? (1 Point) 6*4 = 24 (code in IR)

2. What will be the size of IR register in bits? (1 Point) 24

3. What is the size of AC in bits? (1 Point) 24 = word = data size

4. Does the bus has enough lines for address and data, please explain in one line? (2 Point)
Yes. May be more than one fetches needed
