Q1. What is the typical conversion time of the ADC0808 when operating at its maximum clock frequency?

🔹 A. 130 µs
🔹 B. 100 µs
🔹 C. 150 µs
🔹 D. 200 µs

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: A

Q2. A system needs to transfer 1024 bytes from memory address 0x3000 to a floppy using channel 1. Which sequence of OUT instructions correctly programs the Mode Set Register (address 0x28) for a read operation, the terminal‑count registers (addresses 0x23 LS, 0x24 MS), and the DMA address registers (addresses 0x22 LS, 0x23 MS)?

🔹 A. MVI A,41H;OUT 28H;MVI A,00H;OUT 23H;MVI A,04H;OUT 24H;MVI A,00H;OUT 22H;MVI A,30H;OUT 23H
🔹 B. MVI A,41H;OUT 28H;MVI A,04H;OUT 23H;MVI A,00H;OUT 24H;MVI A,30H;OUT 22H;MVI A,00H;OUT 23H
🔹 C. MVI A,01H;OUT 28H;MVI A,00H;OUT 23H;MVI A,04H;OUT 24H;MVI A,00H;OUT 22H;MVI A,30H;OUT 23H
🔹 D. MVI A,41H;OUT 28H;MVI A,00H;OUT 24H;MVI A,04H;OUT 23H;MVI A,30H;OUT 22H;MVI A,00H;OUT 23H

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: A

Q3. In the terminal‑count register, bits D15 and D14 are set to 1 0 to indicate a memory‑read operation. What would happen if these bits were mistakenly set to 0 1?

🔹 A. The DMA would attempt a memory‑write instead of a read
🔹 B. The DMA would halt with an error
🔹 C. The transfer would continue but data would be corrupted
🔹 D. The operation would be ignored and no transfer would start

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: A
