Question 1. (10 points)
Answer True or False for each of the following statements (1 point each)

1. The 3 units that make up the microprocessor are:

- The Data Transfer Unit
- The Externally Initiated Operations Unit T F
- The Internally Initiated Operations Unit

2. The data bus is bidirectional. Therefore, many devices can write to it

at the same time. T F

3. The Operating System is the first program to execute after startup

and the last program to quit. T F

4. An 8-bit microprocessor has 8 address lines. T F

5. A 128 K Byte memory chip has 17 address lines and 8 data lines T F

6. A compiler translates a program written in a high level programming

language into assembly T F

7. C++ is an example of Ultra-High Level programming languages T F

8. Chip select is an input of a memory chip used to determine the

upper part of the address of the chip. T F

9. It is possible to have F132H as the first address of a 1K memory

chip. T F

10. ALL Arithmetic and Logic operations in the 8085 use the
accumulator. T F

2.2 How would you change the connections above so that the address range becomes
E000 E7FF (4 Points)
- Draw a new picture of the decoder only.
- You may NOT use any other gates.
- You may change the decoder output that the memory chip is connected to.

2.3 Disconnect A13 from the input of the 74138 decoder. Draw a memory map that shows
the location(s) of the chip after the change. (7 Points)
