8085 Microprocessor Features
Intel 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor. It is a 40 pin IC package fabricated on a
single Large Scale Integration (LSI) chip
The Intel 8085 uses a single +5V DC supply for its operation. Its clock speed is
about 3MHz
It has 16 bit address bus and hence can address up to 2^16 = 65536 bytes (64KB)
memory locations through A0-A15.
The first 8 lines of address bus and 8 lines of data bus are multiplexed AD0 –
AD7. Data bus is a group of 8 lines D0 – D7.
(Bus is a common channel through which bits from any sources can be transferred to the destination.)
Address Bus: It is a group of conducting wires which carry addresses only. It is unidirectional, The length of
the address bus is 16 bit.
Data Bus: It is a group of conducting wired which carry data only. It is bidirectional. The length of the data bus
is 8 bit, ranging from 00 H to FF H. (H denotes Hexadecimal).
Control Bus: It is a group of conducting wires, which is used to generate timing and control signals to control
all associated peripherals, the microprocessor uses control bus to process data.some of the control signals are:
Control signals
Memory Read: Reads data (or instruction) from memory.
