The Microprocessor And Interfacing paper involves a thorough and comprehensive understanding on part of the students of the basics and more complicated and technical aspects of Microprocessors and Interfacing. The course starts off with an idea of the evolution of microprocessors and the various applications they can be put to. This is followed by 8086 queue and the various functions of it. Other topics in this course include procedures and macros, modular programming, memory mapped I/O and direct I/Os, Read Operation, TMS 4500, decoding and interfacing and so on. The paper is quite comprehensive in its selection of topics and can also be scoring if the student attempts the questions and answers them correctly. Internal block diagrams, DA convertor operations, interrupt responses of processors, 8259 chips and so on are also part of the course structure. Students must be familiar with circuit diagrams as they are commonly asked questions on them and this is an area which can be particularly scoring for students.
