The RST 7 instruction in 8085 microprocessor is equal to

  1. A.

    CALL 0010 H

  2. B.

    CALL 0034 H

  3. C.

    CALL 0038 H

  4. D.

    CALL  003C H

Attempted by 406 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: CALL 0038 H

Reason: For the 8085, the restart instruction RST n jumps to the fixed vector address equal to n × 8 (decimal).

  • Step 1: Compute 7 × 8 = 56 (decimal).

  • Step 2: Convert 56 decimal to hexadecimal: 56 = 0x38.

  • Step 3: Therefore RST 7 corresponds to the call to address 0038H, i.e., CALL 0038H.

Quick reference: RST vectors are at addresses 0x00, 0x08, 0x10, 0x18, 0x20, 0x28, 0x30, and 0x38 for RST 0 through RST 7 respectively.
