1. Give three features to differentiate between a microprocessor and a microcontroller.

(6 marks)

No Microprocessor Microcontroller 1 mark

A chip that contains all the components of a each
1 A chip that contains only the processor
computer

Need other chips to make a working No need other chips to make a working
2 system system

3 More flexible Less flexibility

Can have very few I/O or many I/O devices

Less component count in system
using the same processor chip

1. A Harvard architecture microcomputer system has 4 Kilowords (1 word is 2 bytes) of

Flash type Code Memory, and 1 Kilobytes of EEPROM both are located at base address
0x0000. There is also 64 Kilobyte Data Memory located at base address 0x0000. The
Data Memory consists of 32 General Purpose Registers which occupy the lowest 32
locations, followed by 64 Special Function Register, and 4 kilobyte Internal RAM. State
the beginning address and the end address of the components by filling in the following
table:

End address of Flash $FFF

Beginning address of EEPROM 0x0000

End address of EEPROM $3FF

Beginning address of General Purpose Registers 0x0000

End address of General Purpose Registers 0x001F

Beginning address of Special Function Registers $0020

End address of Special Function Registers $005F

Beginning address of Internal RAM $0060

End address of Internal RAM $105F

2. Given the content of registers as below,
Register Content
R20 $93
R21 $BC
R22 $10
Find the result after executing of the following instructions (show the register and it values
for each of executed instruction). These instructions are executed sequentially.
(8 Marks)

Instruction Results (hex) 1 mark

R20 = D7
SUB R20,R21 1 mark
R22 = CD
ADC R22,R21
1 mark each for
correct value
MULS R20,R21 R1=0A R0=E4 0.5 mark for use
