A. The 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor.
B. It has a 16-bit address bus, allowing it to access 64 KB of memory.
C. It has 40 pins.
D. It uses a multiplexed address/data bus.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
This section analyzes the given statements about the 8085 microprocessor to determine their accuracy.
The 8085 is indeed an 8-bit microprocessor. This designation refers to the size of its data bus and the internal registers, which are typically 8 bits wide.
The 8085 possesses a 16-bit address bus. This allows it to generate unique addresses for memory locations. With 16 address lines, it can access $2^{16}$ unique memory locations.
Calculating the total memory capacity:
Therefore, the statement that it can access 64 KB of memory is accurate.
The standard package for the 8085 microprocessor has 40 pins. These pins are used for various functions including address, data, control signals, power, and clock.
The 8085 utilizes a multiplexed address/data bus. The lower 8 bits of the address bus (lines AD0 to AD7) are shared (multiplexed) with the 8-bit data bus (lines D0 to D7). This multiplexing reduces the number of pins required on the chip.
All four statements (A, B, C, and D) regarding the 8085 microprocessor are correct.
