Assignment #02

System design and Programming Questions: Make sure your circuit

interface diagrams are drawn neatly. Use an open source tool like
mcu8051ide or edsim51di to write and execute the 8051 based
programs. Each question carries 6 marks.
Q1. Show the complete interface of two 16KB EPROM chips with 8086, such that the
memory address space assigned to EPROM chips is F8000H to FFFFFH. Use basic
logic gates only for address decoding purpose.
Q2. Interface a seven segment LED connected in common cathode configuration,
with 8086 operating in minimum mode. The seven segment LED is interfaced at an
address of 7FH. Use basic logic gates for address decoding. Write the instructions
needed to display a number 5 on the LED, using fixed port and variable port
addressing scheme.
Q3. Interface 8253 timer having the base address of 0810H with 8086. The 8086 is
operating at a frequency of 5 MHz. Use basic logic gates for address decoding.
Program counter 0 to (i) generate high output signal at its OUT pin after one
millisecond, (ii) read the content of counter using counter latch command and read
back command.
Q4. For 8051, configure port P1 to read switches at P1.0 and P1.1. If P1.0 is high,
turn on a relay connected to P2.5 by sending a logic high output. If P1.0 is low, clear
P2.5. If the status of P1.1 is high, turn off the relay connected to P2.6 by sending a
logic low output. If P1.1 is low, set P2.6 to a high state.
Q5. A washing machine is designed for a voltage range of 180-240 volts. If the
voltage is above 240V or below 180V, the washing machine will shut down by
turning off a relay connected to port P1.0. Assume that the voltage can be read at
Port 0 in the range of 0-255V. Write a program for 8051 to implement this operation.
