PART - B 1.Question on counter (divide by 4, 50% DC) 2.4,s Complement of a no. 3.Max operating frequency of a sequential network (166.66 MHz) 4.Some que on microprocessor. Block diagram was given 5.Sampling is done at 210 Hz of a signal containing 50., 100 & 150 Hz signal. Then the signal is passed there a LPF of 10.5 Mz cut off freq. What is the freq. component of the output 6.There are poles of OP at 10 KHz Find the value of R1 & R2. 7.Some question on current consolidated current source 8.A signal contain band limited signal B0, 2B0, 3B0.......... NB0. Each of them is sampled at nygyist rate and quatind to 8 bit. Now what is bit rate? 9.Find out noise margins of digital circuit V0,V10, V12, V02, I0n, I......... were given 10.PCM. The no. of bits is microased from 6 to 8. What is the ratio of SNR and bandwidth 11.V0/V1= jwt+ 104*2 / jw+ 104 w= 104 V1 = Cor (wt) Now determine V0. Ans were in the form of Cos (wt + something) Sin (wt + something) ley (wt + something) 12. Multivibration using 555 13. Some question on transmission line. All the 3 sections was compulsary and u,ve to give a preference among the section 2 & sec 3 so that the weightage for the second one will get doubled. Negative marking was there. here are some of the ques which i remember 1. which conversion is not possible a. float to int b. int to float c. char to float d. all are possible Ans: d 2. threads have which thing in common a. register set b. data section c. thread id d. ... Ans : b 3. one que like main() { int x=5, y; y= x*x++ * ++x ; // print x and y } 4. A CPU has four group of instruction set A, B, C, D CPI of A = 1 CPI of B=3 Cpi of c =2 cpi of d= 4 the cpu access 20% of A, 30% of b, 30% of C and 20 % of D what will be the average CPI. Ans: 1*20/100 + 3* 30/100 + 2* 30/100 + 4* 20/100 ( this que was repeated in section 2 & 3) 5 . a question on hit ratio n effective memory access time. 6. main() { int a=10,b=5 while ( --b>=0 && ++a) { --b; ++a; } print (a); print (b); } ans: a=16, b=-2 7. main() { char i; for (i=0; i
