High-density n- type Complimentary Metal Oxide Silicon field effect transistor.
2. Explain Is the address bus unidirectional?
The address bus is unidirectional because the address information is always given by the Micro Processor to address a memory location of an input / output devices.
Nonvolatile Read Write Memory, also called Flash memory. It is also know as shadow RAM.
4. Explain What is the difference between primary and secondary storage device?
In primary storage device the storage capacity is limited. It has a volatile memory. In secondary storage device the storage capacity is larger. It is a nonvolatile memory. Primary devices are: RAM / ROM. Secondary devices are: Floppy disc / Hard disk.
5. Explain What does microprocessor speed depend on?
The processing speed depends on DATA BUS WIDTH.
6. Explain Why does microprocessor contain ROM chips?
Microprocessor contain ROM chip because it contain instructions to execute data.
7. Explain What is the disadvantage of microprocessor?
It has limitations on the size of data. Most Microprocessor does not support floating-point operations.
8. Explain What is the difference between microprocessor and microcontroller?
In Microprocessor more op-codes, few bit handling instructions. But in Microcontroller: fewer op-codes, more bit handling Instructions, and also it is defined as a device that includes micro processor, memory, & input / output signal lines on a single chip.
9. Design a FSM for vending machine now?
High-density n- type Complimentary Metal Oxide Silicon field effect transistor.
10. Explain Difference between static and dynamic RAM?
Static RAM:
No refreshing, 6 to 8 MOS transistors are required to form one memory cell, Information stored as voltage level in a flip flop.
Dynamic RAM:
Refreshed periodically, 3 to 4 transistors are required to form one memory cell, Information is stored as a charge in the gate to substrate capacitance.

16. How to Installing a PC IDE/EIDE Zip drive?
☛ Write down important information from the top or bottom of the hard drive such as the Model Number, Serial Number, and specifications.
☛ Ensure you are familiar with ESD and its potential dangers.
☛ When physically installing the zip disk drive, ensure the computer is powered down and unplugged.
When installing the IDE/EIDE zip drive ensure that the Zip drive has the proper jumper setting. The Zip drive is set as a Slave device.
An internal zip drive is always going to occupy or need a 3.5-inch drive bay. If no 3.5-inch drive bay is available, the computer needs a drive bracket and partial front bezel to cover the empty portion of the front of the Zip disk drive. Drive brackets are included with the internal zip disk drive package. If your computer does not accept the drive bracket you may want to consider any of the below recommendations.
Contact the computer manufacturer for drive brackets compatible with your computer.
Visit a local computer store for alternate brackets.
Once the Zip disk drive has been installed into the computer, connect the IDE/EIDE interface cable to the back of the zip drive. Almost always the red or blue side of the cable represents PIN 1 and is connected with the colored side of the cable facing the power connection.
Once the IDE/EIDE cable has been connected to the back of the Zip drive, connect the power cable to the back of the drive. This cable is almost always keyed and only goes in one direction.
Once the Zip Drive has been connected to the computer, replace the case back and connect the keyboard, monitor, and power to the computer. We do not recommend that you connect all the cables yet because if there are issues, you may have to disconnect them again.
Because you are installing an IDE/EIDE device, it is required that the drive be setup properly within BIOS. Turn on the computer and as the computer is booting enter BIOS setup. In CMOS verify that the IDE/EIDE device is either setup as Auto or is setup as a 100MB HDD. It is important to note that older computers may not properly detect an IDE/EIDE device and it may be required that a BIOS update be obtained.
Once the drive has installed and setup in BIOS or is detected by BIOS, the Zip disk drive should have been included with a CD, floppy, or Zip disk to install the software for the drive. Note: For users who have Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, ME or later the drive should be automatically detected and installed, but the default installation will not install the Iomega Tools.
A Zip drive and Zip disk is a hardware data storage device developed by Iomega that functions like a standard 1.44" floppy drive and diskette. What makes the Iomega Zip drive unique is its capability to hold up to 100 MB of data or 250 MB of data on the later models. Iomega Zip drives became very popular in late 1990s but quickly became less popular as users needed larger storage capabilities. The drive was eventually replaced by CD-R and CD-RW drives and discs as they became cheaper since they offered much more storage and compatibility.
