How many general purpose registers in 8085 microprocessor ________.
6 general purpose registers in 8085 microprocessor.
There are 6 general purpose registers in 8085 processor, that is B, C, D, E, H & L. Each register can hold 8-bit data. These registers can work in pair to hold 16-bit data and their pairing combination is like B-C, D-E & H-L. These registers are used to store or copy temporary data, by using instructions, during the execution of the program.
General-purpose registers (GPRs) can store both data and addresses, i.e., they are combined data/address registers and rarely the register file is unified to include floating point as well. Status registers hold truth values often used to determine whether some instruction should or should not be executed.
