Q. How many interrupt control lines are there in 8085 microprocessor
β
Correct Answer: (A)
6
Explanation:
The 8085 microprocessor has 6 interrupt control lines used to handle interrupts.
These are:
- TRAP β Non-maskable, highest priority interrupt
- RST7.5 β Maskable, vectored interrupt
- RST6.5 β Maskable, vectored interrupt
- RST5.5 β Maskable, vectored interrupt
- INTR β Maskable, non-vectored interrupt
- INTA β Interrupt acknowledge (not an interrupt request, but used in the interrupt process)
Summary:
- 5 are interrupt request lines.
- 1 is interrupt acknowledge.
- So, total = 6 interrupt control lines.
