Memory
8085 family
Program, data and stack memories occupy the same memory space. The total
All CPU architectures
addressable memory size is 64 KB.
Program memory - program can be located anywhere in memory. Jump, branch and call instructions
16-bit addresses, i.e. they can be used to jump/branch anywhere within 64 KB. All jump/branch instru
use absolute addressing.
Data memory - the processor always uses 16-bit addresses so that data can be placed anywhere.
Stack memory is limited only by the size of memory. Stack grows downward.
First 64 bytes in a zero memory page should be reserved for vectors used by RST instructions.
Interrupts
The processor has 5 interrupts. They are presented below in the order of their priority (from lowest to
highest):
INTR is maskable 8080A compatible interrupt. When the interrupt occurs the processor fetches from t
one instruction, usually one of these instructions:
• One of the 8 RST instructions (RST0 - RST7). The processor saves current program counter into
and branches to memory location N * 8 (where N is a 3-bit number from 0 to 7 supplied with th
instruction).
• CALL instruction (3 byte instruction). The processor calls the subroutine, address of which is spe
the second and third bytes of the instruction.
RST5.5 is a maskable interrupt. When this interrupt is received the processor saves the contents of th
register into stack and branches to 2Ch (hexadecimal) address.
RST6.5 is a maskable interrupt. When this interrupt is received the processor saves the contents of th
register into stack and branches to 34h (hexadecimal) address.
RST7.5 is a maskable interrupt. When this interrupt is received the processor saves the contents of th
register into stack and branches to 3Ch (hexadecimal) address.
Trap is a non-maskable interrupt. When this interrupt is received the processor saves the contents of
register into stack and branches to 24h (hexadecimal) address.
All maskable interrupts can be enabled or disabled using EI and DI instructions. RST 5.5, RST6.5 and R
interrupts can be enabled or disabled individually using SIM instruction.
I/O ports
Accumulator or A register is an 8-bit register used for arithmetic, logic, I/O and load/store operations
General registers:
• 8-bit B and 8-bit C registers can be used as one 16-bit BC register pair. When used as a pair the
register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use BC register as a data pointer.
• 8-bit D and 8-bit E registers can be used as one 16-bit DE register pair. When used as a pair the
register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use DE register as a data pointer.
• 8-bit H and 8-bit L registers can be used as one 16-bit HL register pair. When used as a pair the
register contains low-order byte. HL register usually contains a data pointer used to reference m
addresses.
Addressing modes
Register - references the data in a register or in a register pair.
Register indirect - instruction specifies register pair containing address, where the data is located.
Direct.
Immediate - 8 or 16-bit data.

Intel 8085 microprocessor is the next generation of Intel 8080 CPU family. In
addition to being faster than the 8080, the 8085 had the following enhancements: History
Architecture
• Intel 8085 had single 5V power supply. Identification
• The processor integrated clock oscillator and system controller on a chip. Pinouts
• Serial I/O port. Support chips
• New instructions, most of them were undocumented. At a glan

There were multiple versions of 8085 microprocessors. The original version of the Introduction:
8085 microprocessor without suffix "A" was manufactured by Intel only, and was
Bus width:
very quickly replaced with 8085A containing bug fixes. In a few years after that,
around 1980, Intel introduced 8085AH - HMOS version of 8085A. It's not clear if Frequency:
80C85, CMOS version of 8085A, was ever manufactured by Intel, but it was produced 3-
by at least two second source manufacturers - OKI and Tundra Semiconductor,
Tundra Semiconductor also manufactured the fastest 8085 microprocessor running at
8 MHz.
Second source manufacturers: AMD, Mitsubishi, NEC, OKI, Siemens, Toshiba. Soviet
Union also manufactured clones of Intel 8085 CPU.
Computers: Radio Shack TRS-80 Models 100 and 200, CompuPro 8/16.
