(251.473)8
=(1010_1001.1001_1101_1000)2
=(A9.9D8)16

(b). Convert the following from Hexadecimal to decimal

(C98.45)16
= 12*162 + 9*161 + 8*160 + 4 * 16-1 + 5 * 16-2

Q #2. Do the following arithmetic

(20-Points)

(a) Do the following computation in 2s complement arithmetic and convert result back into
decimal
i.

64 71 in 2s complement

64 = (01000000)2
71 = (01000111)2

-71 = (10111001)2

01000111 + 10111001 = 11111001 (Carry out is ZERO so Result will be ve)

(11111001)2 = -7
ii. 34 + 55 in 2s complement
34 = (0100010)2 , -34 = (1011110)2
55 = (0110111)2
1011110 + 0110111 = 0010101 (Carry out is ONE so Result will be +ve)

Assignment #1

(0010101)2 = 21
(b) Do the following computation in BCD arithmetic and convert result back into decimal
i.

35+49

35 = 00110101

, 49 = 01001001

00110101 + 01001001 = 01111110 (1110 > 9 so add correction factor of 6 = 0110)

01111110 + 00000110 = 10000100
Result in Decimal = 84
ii. 73-57
73 = 01110011

, 57 = 01010111

01110011 - 01010111 = 00011100 (1100 > 9 so subtract correction factor of 6 = 0110)

00011100 - 00000110 = 00010110
Result in Decimal = 16
Q #3. Show how the following 8-bit , 16-bit and 32-bit data in hex is stored in a byte

addressable memory starting from address 0x01F6. Data will be stored in same
sequence it is written.

Q # 4.

(a). Compute value of 20-bit Physical address for following Base and Offset pairs:

Page 5 of 7

EE2323

Assignment #1

0x1050 : 0x1236

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

Physical Address = 0x10500 + 0x1236 = 0x11736

0xA125 : 0x4075

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

Physical Address = 0xA1250 + 0x4075 = 0xA52C5

0x0A68 : 0x70B6

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

Physical Address = 0x0A680 + 0x70B6 = 0x11736

0xB1AB : 0x802A

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

Physical Address = 0xB1AB0 + 0x802A = 0xB9ADA
Which of the physical addresses are alias of each other ?
Address pairs (0x1050 : 0x1236) and (0x0A68 : 0x70B6) are alias of each other because
they map to the same physical address in memory
(b). Compute the unknowns in following physical address calculations:

0x850A : 0x1245 = PA ?

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

Physical Address = 0x850A0 + 0x1245 = 0x862E5

0xD765 :

= 0xDABC0

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

0xDABC0 = 0xD7650 + Offset
Offset

= 0xDABC0 0xD7650

? :

0xCD21 = 0x32D21

Physical Address = (Seg. Base << 4) + Offset

0x32D21 = (Seg. Base <<4) + 0xCD21
Seg. Base << 4 = 0x32D21 0xCD21 = 0x26000
Seg. Base

= 0x2600
