The key features of the Intel 8085 microprocessor, often detailed in the standard textbook and presentations by Ramesh Gaonkar, include its architecture as an 8-bit general-purpose processor. It is widely used in academic curricula to teach the fundamentals of computer organization. Core Hardware Features 8-Bit Data Bus: It processes 8 bits of data at a time. 16-Bit Address Bus: This allows it to address up to ( 2162 to the 16th power ) of memory. Single Power Supply: It operates on a single DC power supply.
Clock Frequency: Typically operates at a maximum frequency of
, with an internal clock generator (it uses an external crystal of which is divided by 2 internally).
40-Pin DIP: It is housed in a 40-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP). Architecture & Registers microprocessor 8085 ppt by gaonkar new
Multiplexed Address/Data Bus: To save pins, the lower 8 bits of the address bus ( ) are multiplexed with the 8-bit data bus ( ), appearing as
Internal Registers: Includes an 8-bit Accumulator, six general-purpose 8-bit registers (B, C, D, E, H, L) which can be used in pairs (BC, DE, HL), a 16-bit Program Counter (PC), and a 16-bit Stack Pointer (SP).
Flag Register: Contains 5 status flags: Sign (S), Zero (Z), Auxiliary Carry (AC), Parity (P), and Carry (CY). Instruction & Interrupt System The key features of the Intel 8085 microprocessor,
Instruction Set: Features 74 operation codes (opcodes) and 246 instructions.
Addressing Modes: Uses five distinct modes—Immediate, Register, Direct, Indirect, and Implied.
Interrupts: Supports five hardware interrupts: TRAP (highest priority, non-maskable), RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5, and INTR. Slide 1: Title Slide
Serial I/O: Includes Serial Input Data (SID) and Serial Output Data (SOD) lines for simple serial communication.

If you find a PPT claiming to be "by Gaonkar new," check for these bonus slides that likely were added by modern educators updating the original material:
Avoid files named only 8085_ppt_final.pptx without author attribution. If the first slide does not cite "Reference: R.S. Gaonkar, Microprocessor Architecture...", move on. These fakes often contain incorrect timing diagrams (e.g., showing ALE active during T3, which is wrong; it is active only in T1).
