Microprocessor Quiz

1. It is an electronic circuit that can store one bit of information.

2. It is an electronic circuit that can store one bit of memory.

3. Transparency is one of the characteristics of latches and flip-flops. This term denotes
the capability of storing and transferring information
the ability to control two or more signals
the capability to determine their output states whether it is in no change or in race condition
the ability to change at the transition of a clock signal

4. The T flip-flop is useful in constructing various types of:

5. It is the simplest example of even-parity checking:

6. These are devices that generate output based on a given input and/or a state using actions.

7. It was Intel's first microprocessor:

8. This is a type of non-volatile computer memory that uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles, or domains, each of which stores one bit of data.

9. This is a a form of computer memory, similar to core memory, formed by wrapping or closing magnetic tape around a current-carrying wire.

10. It is a programmable device used to implement combinational logic circuits.

11. It is a programmable logic device with a fixed OR array and a programmable AND array.

12. It was the first general purpose electronic computer.

13. It was also manufactured as a standalone microcontroller with various configurations of on-chip RAM and EPROM.

14. IBM selects this microprocessor for their PC, introduced in August, 1981.

15. It was a 32-bit chip microprocessor and was "muti-tasking", meaning it could run multiple programs at the same time.

16. It is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations.

17. It is the first 8-bit microprocessor.

18. 256 base 10 to BCD?

19. 27.35 base 16 to BCD?

20. 10011 base 2 to DEC?

21. 2132 base 5 to DEC?

22. On ASCII Table, 32 base 10 represents what character?

23. It is a measure of the ability of a logic gate output, implemented electronically, to drive a number of inputs of other logic gates of the same time.

24. It is the length of time starting from when the input to a logic gate becomes stable and valid, to the time that the output of that logic is stable and valid.

25. How many bits will you need to produce a 64K address space?

26. Which of the following is a desktop processor?
Xeon DP, Quad-core
Xeon MP, Eight-core
Itanium
Core 2 Quad

27. The first company to introduce 64-bit microprocessor to the market.

28. Which of the following microprocessors is manufactured by using CMOS technology?
Motorola 68030
IBM Power 1
Intel Pentium Pro
AMD K6

29. It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards and USB flash drives for general storage and transfer of data between computers and other digital circuits.

30. It is a computer system technique developed, which goves an application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory (an address space), while in fact it may be physically fragmented and may even overflow on to disk storage.
