PARTA

Mark the correct answer on True/False answer sheet.

1) Register is one of the internal components of a microprocessor.

2) Register is a kind of temporary storage during the execution of the program.

3) Control unit in a microprocessor determines the Operation of a CPU either it reads from
or writes into memory or I/O.

4) Microprocessor understands binary codes.

5) Microprocessor needs an assembler to translate the assembly language to the

machine code.

6) Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) in a microprocessor is able to perform addition, subtraction

and several logic Operations.

7) Instructions written in C need an assembler to be translated from high level language

to machine code.

8) Microcomputer Systems can be built with a processor and input/output device without a
bus System and memory.

9) Interrupt is one of the control Signals of a microprocessor.

10 An example of application of the external request to the microprocessor is printing.

11 When the speed of a peripheral is slower than microprocessor, the microprocessor

requests the use of peripheral buses.

12 A microprocessor with 24-bit address bus and 8-bit data bus can address up to
512MB.

13 Supercomputer is designed with a microcontroller.

14 The Controller of aircraft is using both of microprocessor and microcontroller.

15 Secondary storage is directly accessible by a microprocessor.

16 Examples of main memory are hard disk and DVD ROM.

17 Primary memory is commonly used during the execution of the program.

content of memory pointed by D and
störe the result in D.

(SP)«- D ; Store content of double

accumulator D into memory pointed by
SP.

X<«- X - l ; decrease content of index

register X.
