Question 3:
(a) A single-core uniprocessor system has 16 General purpose registers. The machine has RAM of size 1 M
memory words. The size of every general-purpose register and memory word is 32 bits. The computer uses
fixed-length instructions of size 32 bits each. An instruction of the machine can have two operands. One of
these operands is a direct memory operand and the other is a register operand. An instruction of a machine
consists of bits for operation code, bits for memory operand and bits of register operand. The machine has
about 64 different operation codes. The machine also has special purpose registers, which are other than
general purpose registers. These special purpose registers are – Program Counter (PC), Memory Address
Register (MAR), Data Register (DR) and Flag registers (FR). The first register among the general-purpose
registers can be used as Accumulator Register. The size of Integer operands on the machine may be assumed
to be equal to the size of the accumulator register. To execute instructions, the machine has another special
purpose register called Instruction Register (IR) of size 32 bits, as each instruction is of this size. Perform the
following tasks for the machine. (Make and state suitable assumptions, if any.)

explain the sequence of micro-operations to fetch and execute an addition instruction that adds the contents
of a memory operand with the contents of a register operand. The result is stored in the accumulator register.
Make and state suitable assumptions, if any. (5 Marks)
(b) Assume that you have a machine, as shown in section 3.2.2 of Block 3 having the set of micro-
operations as given in Figure 10 on page 62 of Block 3. Consider that R1 and R2 both are 8-bit registers and
contain 01111110 and 11010101 respectively. What will be the values of select inputs, carry-in input, and
the result of the operation (including carry-out bit) if the following micro-operations are performed on these
registers? (For each micro-operation you may assume the initial value of R1 and R2 as given above)
(2 Marks)
(i) Increment R2
(ii) Subtract R2 from R1
(iii) AND of R1 with R2
(iv) Shift left R1

(c) Consider that an instruction pipeline has four stages namely instruction fetch (INFE), Instruction
decode and Operand Fetch (IDOF), Instruction Execute (INEX) and store results (STRE). Draw an
instruction pipeline diagram showing the execution of five sequential instructions using this pipeline.

Question 4:

(a) Write a program using 8086 assembly Language (with proper comments) that accepts two different
digits as input from the keyboard. Each digit is converted to its binary equivalent value. These
converted digits are stored in registers BL and CL. The program then stores the smaller of these two
values in AL register. The program also checks if the present AL value is larger than all the values
contained in a byte array of size 6, which is stored in the memory. If so, then a value 1 is moved to DL
register, else a value 0 is moved to DL register. You may assume the byte array has the values 02h, 03h,
05h, 01h, 02h, 03h. Make suitable assumptions, if any. (7 Marks)

(b) Differentiate between the FAR and NEAR procedure calls in 8086 micro-processor. Assuming that a
stack is used for implementing procedure calls, explain how call and return statements of 8086
microprocessor would use stack for NEAR and FAR procedure calls and return from a call. Also,
assuming that two parameters are to be passed to a procedure using stack, explain how they will be
passed to the procedure and accessed in the procedure. You need not write the assembly code but draw
necessary diagrams to illustrate the concept. (7 Marks)

(c) Explain the following in the context of 8086 Microprocessor with the help of an example or a
diagram: (6 Marks)

This assignment has ten questions in this assignment. Answer all questions. You may use illustrations and
diagrams to enhance the explanations. Please go through the guidelines regarding assignments given in
the Programme Guide for the format of presentation.

Q1. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:

Whatever the type of job interview  a walk-in, a telephone interview or a regular in-person job interview,
preparation is the key. It is important that you keep yourself in a state of high motivation and readiness,
making optimum use of your time to equip yourself to excel. Here are a few things you’d like to do for sure, by
way of preparation.

You are certain to be asked specific questions about your potential employer, so make sure you’ve
done your homework on company information like company history, recent performance, their last
year's profits and latest product launches. Nothing is as disappointing as when a candidate shows
enthusiasm and then doesn’t even know the most basic facts and figures about the company. So,
where can you find all this information? The most likely place is the Internet. A visit to the company
website could help you get all the vital statistics, including products and services as well as a feel of
the company culture. You must also check out the annual report and look for a press or company
news page. Put their name into a search engine to see if they’ve had any recent interesting stories
written about them. It is also advisable to tap industry sources, trade journals, newspapers and other
business publications to give you good background knowledge of the industry as well as the
company.

Talk to people who work in the company or in similar companies / areas to gather as much
information as you can about the nature of work, responsibilities, work culture and work
requirements.

For the interview, you need to know your CV inside out. Go through your CV carefully and make notes on
how you will elaborate or illustrate what you have stated. You need to be ready with examples from your
experience to be able to substantiate all the claims you have made. Try to relate specific areas of your CV back
to the job description. It will make it clear to the interviewer why they should hire you. Also go through the
copy of your application carefully before the interview. The interview panel is likely to ask specific questions
about it.

Going for a job interview is no different from going for an exam. It is important that you go well
prepared and confident so that you can field any question that is put to you.

11
Before the Interview

Apart from finding out about the company and being thorough with your CV, it would be helpful to
follow these tips:

 Make a rational assessment of yourself before you go for the interview. Know your strengths and
weaknesses.
 Review your skills and abilities.
 Have a mock interview with a friend based on the common interview questions you’re likely to
face.
 If you are asked to bring certificates, references, etc, get them ready well in advance to avoid
having to chase around them on the morning of the big day.
 If you have filled up a statement of purpose as part of the application, be ready for some probing
questions based on this.
 Be sure you know the time, date and location of the interview.
 Decide how you will get there and when you need to set off to arrive in good time, anticipating
any delays. Visit the place once beforehand if possible.
 If you look good, you tend to feel good too. Avoid any last minute panic by preparing what
you’re going to wear the night before.
 Don’t go into the interview with lots of baggage - psychological or physical. Take the bare
minimum with you so you can concentrate on the interview, and nothing else.
 Prepare at least 5 questions that you would like to ask the panel about the company or your job.
You don’t have to ask them all. See for yourself what is most appropriate to ask during the
interview.

programming. (40 Marks)

Description:

Create a menu driven application that allows the user to manage the books in a library. The application
should enable users to perform the following operations:
1. Add a new book record.

2. Display all book records.

3. Search a book by its ISBN.

4. Search a book by its Author.

5. Search a book by its Title.

6. Update a book record.

7. Delete a book record.

8. Save book records to a file.

9. Load book records from a file.

10. Exit.

Implement the following functions:

 void addBook(Book books[], int *count)

 void displayBooks(const Book books[], int count)

 int searchBookByISBN(const Book books[], int count, const char *isbn)

 void updateBook(Book books[], int count, const char *isbn)

  void deleteBook(Book books[], int *count, const char *isbn)

 void saveToFile(const Book books[], int count, const char *filename)

 void loadFromFile(Book books[], int *count, const char *filename)

Menu
 Implement a menu-driven system that allows the user to choose the operation they want to perform.

File Handling
 Use file handling to save the book records to a file and load them back when the program starts.

Note: You must execute the program and submit the program logic, sample input and output along with

This assignment has two questions of total of 40 marks. Rest 10 marks are for viva voce.
Please go through the guidelines regarding assignments given in the programme guide for the
format of presentation.

Q1. Design a two bit counter circuit that counts from 0 to 2. It should have states 00, 01 and 10.
The initial state of the counter may be assumed to be 00. The counter will be in following
successive states: 00, 01, 10, 00, 01, 10, 00, 01, 10, 00 ... Use J-K flip flop to design the circuit.
You must design the circuit using state transition diagram and Karnaugh's maps. (10 Marks)

Q2. Write and run following programs using 8086 assembly language. (3 × 10 = 30Marks)

(a) Write and run an Assembly language program that converts a packed 4 digit BCD number that
has been stored in two consecutive byte locations in the memory, into an equivalent binary number.
The output should be stored in DX register. For example, if two consecutive byte locations have
BCD values (12)h and (34)h then output will be binary equivalent of (1234)10 which is (0000 0100
1101 0010)2. This binary value will be stored in DX register.

(b) Write and run (using appropriate calling program) a near procedure in 8086 assembly language
that checks if the input parameter has a value less than 5. If the value is less than 5 then subroutines
displays the line "Parameter value is less than 5" else it displays "Parameter value is >= 5".

(c) Write and run an 8086 assembly language program that finds the factorial of the value stored in
BH register. You may assume that BH register will store a maximum value 8. Thus, you need not
handle the overflow.
