Design and draw a 3 x 8 decoder using NOT gates and AND gates and explain its working. 8m Jun2007
Decoder converts one type of coded information to another form. A decoder has ‘n’ inputs and an enable line (a sort of selection line) and 2n output lines. Let us see diagram of 3×8 decoder which decodes a 3 bit information and there is only one output line which gets the value 1 or in… Read More »

Explain any five DOS function calls supported by INT 21H in the 8086 assembly language with an example of each call. 10m jun2006
(d) Explain, with an example of each call, any five DOS function calls supported by INT 21H in the 8086 assembly language. 10 DOS Function Calls (Using INT 21H) INT 21H supports about 100 different functions. A function is identified by putting the function number in the AH register. For example, if we… Read More »
Write a program to evaluate the following expression using an accumulator machine: A = B + C * D * E + F 7m jun2006
Write a program to evaluate the following expression using an accumulator machine: A = B + C * D * E + F 7m jun2006 Accumulator Architecture: An accumulator is a specially designated register that supplies one instruction operand and receives the result. The instructions in such machines are normally one-address instructions. The popular… Read More »
Explain the process of handling an interrupt that occurs during a program? 9m jun2006
Explain the process of handling an interrupt that occurs during the execution of a program, with the help of an example. 9m jun2006 Interrupt Handling and Instruction Cycle On the occurrence of an interrupt, an interrupt request (in the form of a signal) is issued to the CPU. The CPU on receipt of interrupt… Read More »
What is the significance of FAT? What are the limitations of FAT 16? 4m jun2006
What is the significance of FAT? What are the limitations of FAT 16? 4m jun2006 FAT The FAT maps the usage of data space of the disk. It contains information about the space used by each individual file, the unused disk space and the space that is unusable due to defects in the disk. Since… Read More »
