designing of model in Proteus for interfacing 8085 with display

Introduction
As discussed earlier, 8085 microprocessor was introduced by Intel in the year 1976. This microprocessor is an update of 8080 microprocessor. The 8080 processor was updated with Enable/Disable instruction pins and Interrupt pins to form the 8085 microprocessor. Let us discuss the architecture of 8085 microprocessor in detail.

Features of 8085 microprocessor
Before knowing about the 8085 architecture in detail, lets us briefly discuss about the basic features of 8085 processor.

8085 microprocessor is an 8-bit microprocessor with a 40 pin dual in line package. The address and data bus are multiplexed in this processor which helps in providing more control signals. 8085 microprocessor has 1 Non-maskable interrupt and 3 maskable interrupts. It provides serial interfacing with serial input data (SID) and serial output data (SOD).

It has a set of registers for performing various operations. The various registers include

· Accumulator (register A)

· Registers: B, C, D, E, H and L

· Stack pointer

· Program Counter

· Temporary register

· Instruction register

Architecture of 8085 microprocessor
8085 consists of various units and each unit performs its own functions. The various units of a microprocessor are listed below

· Accumulator

· Arithmetic and logic Unit

· General purpose register

· Program counter

· Stack pointer

· Temporary register

· Flags

· Instruction register and Decoder

· Timing and Control unit

· Interrupt control
