The correct answer is
B, D, A, C

8051 Interrupt Priority Levels

This question requires ordering the given 8051 interrupts based on their priority level, from lowest to highest.

Understanding 8051 Interrupt Priorities

The 8051 microcontroller has a defined priority scheme for its interrupts. The standard priorities, listed from lowest to highest, are:

  • Timer Interrupt 1 ($TF1$)
  • External Interrupt 1 ($INT1$)
  • Timer Interrupt 0 ($TF0$)
  • External Interrupt 0 ($INT0$)

Mapping Interrupts to Labels

The provided labels correspond to the interrupts as follows:

  • A. Timer interrupt 0 ($TF0$)
  • B. Timer interrupt 1 ($TF1$)
  • C. External interrupt 0 ($INT0$)
  • D. External interrupt 1 ($INT1$)

Ordering Interrupts by Priority

By matching the labels to the established priority order (lowest first):

  • Lowest priority: $TF1$ is Label B.
  • Next priority: $INT1$ is Label D.
  • Next priority: $TF0$ is Label A.
  • Highest priority: $INT0$ is Label C.

The sequence representing increasing priority is therefore: B, D, A, C.
