Control Unit
Generates signals within Microprocessor to carry out the instruction, which has been
decoded. In reality causes certain connections between blocks of the uP to be opened or closed,
so that data goes where it is required, and so that ALU operations occur.
Arithmetic Logic Unit
The ALU performs the actual numerical and logic operation such as „add‟ , „subtract‟ ,
„AND‟ , „OR‟ , etc. Uses data from memory and from Accumulator to perform arithmetic.
Always stores result of operation in Accumulator.
Registers
The 8085/8080A-programming model includes six registers, one accumulator, and
one flag register, as shown in Figure. In addition, it has two 16-bit registers: the stack pointer and
the program counter. The 8085/8080A has six general-purpose registers to store 8-bit data; these
are identified as B,C,D,E,H, and L as shown in the figure. They can be combined as register
pairs - BC, DE, and HL - to perform some 16-bit operations. The programmer can use these
registers to store or copy data into the registers by using data copy instructions.
Accumulator
The accumulator is an 8-bit register that is a part of arithmetic/logic unit (ALU). This
register is used to store 8-bit data and to perform arithmetic and logical operations.The result of
an operation is stored in the accumulator. The accumulator is also identified as register A.
Flags
The ALU includes five flip-flops, which are set or reset after an operation according
to data conditions of the result in the accumulator and other registers. They are called Zero(Z),
Carry (CY), Sign (S), Parity (P), and Auxiliary Carry (AC) flags. The most commonly used
flagsare Zero, Carry, and Sign. The microprocessor uses these flags to test data conditions.
For example, after an addition of two numbers, if the sum in the accumulator id larger
than eight bits, the flip-flop uses to indicate a carry -- called the Carry flag (CY) – is set to one.
When an arithmetic operation results in zero, the flip-flop called the Zero(Z) flag is set to one.
The first Figure shows an 8-bit register, called the flag register, adjacent to the accumulator.
However, it is not used as a register; five bit positions out of eight are used to store the outputs of
the five flip-flops. The flags are stored in the 8-bit register so that the programmer can
examiexamine these flags (dataconditions) by accessing the register through an instruction.
These flags have critical importance in the decision-making process of the microprocessor.The
conditions (set or reset) of the flags are tested through the software instructions. For example, the
instruction JC (Jump on Carry) is implemented to change the sequence of a program when CY
flag is set.
Program Counter (PC)
This 16-bit register deals with sequencing the execution of instructions. This register is a
memory pointer. Memory locations have 16-bit addresses, and that is why this is a16-bit register.
The microprocessor uses this register to sequence the execution of the instructions.The
function of the program counter is to point to the memory address from which the next byte is to
be fetched. When a byte (machine code) is being fetched, the program counter is incremented by
one to point to the next memory location
Stack Pointer (SP)
The stack pointer is also a 16-bit register used as a memory pointer. It points to a memory
location in R/W memory, called the stack. The beginning of the stack is defined by loading 16-
bit address in the stack pointer.
Instruction Register/Decoder
Temporary store for the current instruction of a program. Latest instruction sent here
from memory prior to execution. Decoder then takes instruction and „decodes‟ or interprets
the instruction. Decoded instruction then passed to next stage.
Memory Address Register
Holds address, received from PC, of next program instruction. Feeds the address bus with
addresses of location of the program under execution.
Control Generator
Generates signals within uP to carry out the instruction which has been decoded. In
reality causes certain connections between blocks of the uP to be opened or closed, sothat data
goes where it is required, and so that ALU operations occur.
Register Selector
This block controls the use of the register stack in the example. Just a logic circuit which
switches between different registers in the set will receive instructions from Control Unit.
A8 - A15 (Output 3 State)
Address Bus:The most significant 8 bits of the memory address or the 8 bits of the I/0
address,3 stated during Hold and Halt modes.
AD0 - AD7 (Input/Output 3state)
Multiplexed Address/Data Bus; Lower 8 bits of the memory address (or I/0 address)
appear on the bus during the first clock cycle of a machine state. It then becomes thedata bus
during the second and third clock cycles. 3 stated during Hold and Halt modes.
ALE (Output)
Address Latch Enable: It occurs during the first clock cycle of a machine state and
enables the address to get latched into the on chip latch of peripherals. The falling edge of ALE
is set to guarantee setup and hold times for the address information. ALE can also be used to
strobe the status information. ALE is never 3stated.
SO, S1 (Output)
Data Bus Status. Encoded status of the bus cycle:
S1 S0
0 0 HALT
0 1 WRITE
1 0 READ
1 1 FETCH
S1 can be used as an advanced R/W status.
RD (Output 3state)
READ: indicates the selected memory or 1/0 device is to be read and that the
Data Bus is available for the data transfer.
WR (Output 3state)
WRITE:indicates the data on the Data Bus is to be written into the selected memory
or 1/0 location. Data is set up at the trailing edge of WR. 3stated during Hold and
Halt modes.
READY (Input)
If Ready is high during a read or write cycle, it indicates that the memory or peripheral is
ready to send or receive data. If Ready is low, the CPU will wait forReady to go high before
completing the read or write cycle.
HOLD (Input)
HOLD:indicates that another Master is requesting the use of the Address and DataBuses.
The CPU, upon receiving the Hold request. will relinquish the use of buses as soon as the
completion of the current machine cycle. Internal processing can continue.The
processorcanregain the buses only after the Hold is removed. When the Hold is acknowledged,
the Address, Data, RD, WR, and IO/M lines are 3stated.
HLDA (Output)
HOLD ACKNOWLEDGE:indicates that the CPU has received the Hold request and that
it will relinquish the buses in the next clock cycle. HLDA goes low after the Hold request is
removed. The CPU takes the buses one half clock cycle after HLDA goes low.
INTR (Input)
INTERRUPT REQUEST is used as a general purpose interrupt. It is sampled onlyduring
the next to the last clock cycle of the instruction. If it is active, the Program Counter (PC) will be
inhibited from incrementing and an INTA will be issued. During this cycle a RESTART or
CALL instruction can be inserted to jump to the interrupt service routine. The INTR is enabled
and disabled by software. It is disabled by Reset and immediately after an interrupt is accepted.
