Answers of above questions:

RISC-Based Architecture
(Reduced Instruction Set Computing - RISC)
RISC is a type of microprocessor architecture that focuses on efficiency by using a small,
highly optimized set of instructions. The key principle behind RISC is to execute instructions
in a single clock cycle, improving speed and efficiency.
Characteristics of RISC Architecture:
1. Reduced Instruction Set – It has a limited number of simple instructions, which
allows for faster execution.
2. Uniform Instruction Length – Instructions typically have a fixed length, simplifying
instruction decoding.
3. Load/Store Architecture – Only load (fetching from memory) and store (writing to
memory) instructions can directly access memory; all other operations are performed
on registers.
4. Pipelining Support – Since instructions are simple, the CPU can execute multiple
instructions simultaneously using pipelining.
5. More General-Purpose Registers – It has a large number of registers to minimize
memory access.
6. Hardwired Control Unit – Control units are implemented using hardwired logic,
making instruction execution faster.
7. Simple Addressing Modes – It uses a limited number of addressing modes to reduce
complexity.
Advantages of RISC:
• Higher execution speed due to reduced instruction complexity.
• Efficient pipelining and parallel processing.
• Reduced power consumption compared to CISC processors.
Examples of RISC Processors:
• ARM (Advanced RISC Machine)
• PowerPC
• SPARC
• MIPS

CISC-Based Architecture
(Complex Instruction Set Computing - CISC)
CISC architecture is designed to perform complex tasks using a single, more powerful
instruction. It emphasizes instruction complexity to minimize the number of instructions
required to execute a program.
Characteristics of CISC Architecture:
1. Complex Instructions – Instructions can perform multiple low-level operations (e.g.,
load, store, and arithmetic operations in one instruction).
2. Variable Instruction Length – Instructions have different sizes, making decoding
more complex.
 3. Memory-to-Memory Operations – Instructions can directly operate on memory
locations without needing to load data into registers first.
4. Microprogrammed Control Unit – Uses a control unit based on microcode,
allowing complex instructions to be implemented more easily.
5. Multiple Addressing Modes – Supports a wide range of addressing modes,
increasing programming flexibility.
6. Less Dependence on Registers – More operations are performed using memory
rather than registers.
Advantages of CISC:
• Requires fewer instructions per program, reducing program size.
• Efficient memory usage due to direct memory-to-memory operations.
• Compatible with older generations of processors, ensuring backward compatibility.
Examples of CISC Processors:
• Intel x86
• AMD Processors
• IBM System/360

Harvard Architecture
Harvard architecture is a computer architecture model that uses separate memory spaces for
program instructions and data. This separation allows simultaneous access to both, improving
execution speed.
Key Features of Harvard Architecture:
1. Separate Memory for Code and Data – Unlike Von Neumann architecture, where
code and data share the same memory, Harvard architecture has independent memory
spaces for program instructions and data.
2. Parallel Data and Instruction Fetching – Since both memories can be accessed
simultaneously, the processor can fetch the next instruction while executing the
current one, leading to improved performance.
3. Prevents Code Corruption – Since program instructions are stored separately, there
is less chance of accidental overwriting of executable code.
4. Faster Execution Speed – Due to parallel data and instruction access, Harvard
architecture supports high-speed computing.
5. Efficient Use of Caches – Separate instruction and data caches can be used, reducing
delays in fetching data.
Advantages of Harvard Architecture:
• Increases processing speed due to simultaneous instruction and data access.
• Reduces bottlenecks associated with shared memory access.
• Prevents unintentional data corruption of program code.
Disadvantages:
• More complex hardware design due to separate memory units.
• Higher cost and power consumption compared to Von Neumann architecture.
Examples of Harvard Architecture:

Addressing Modes in PIC Microcontrollers

Addressing modes define how the operand (data) of an instruction is specified. Two common
addressing modes in PIC microcontrollers are:
1. Direct Addressing Mode
• In direct addressing mode, the instruction directly specifies the memory address
where the operand is stored.
• Example: MOVF 0x20, W (Moves the value from address 0x20 to the W register).
• It is simple and efficient but limited by the size of the memory address.
2. Indirect Addressing Mode
• In indirect addressing mode, the address of the operand is stored in a special register
(FSR – File Select Register), and an indirect register (INDF) is used to access it.

Function of Registers in the ARM Programmer’s Model

Registers are small storage units inside the CPU used for fast data access. In the ARM
programmer’s model, registers play a crucial role in efficient processing.
Categories of Registers in ARM Architecture:
1. General-Purpose Registers (R0–R12)
o Used for storing data and intermediate calculations.
o Example: R0–R3 are used for function arguments and return values in ARM
calling conventions.
2. Stack Pointer (SP / R13)
o Points to the top of the stack, which is used for function calls and local
variable storage.
3. Link Register (LR / R14)
o Stores the return address when a function is called.
4. Program Counter (PC / R15)
o Holds the address of the next instruction to be executed.
5. Current Program Status Register (CPSR)
 o Stores flags and processor states, such as Zero (Z), Carry (C), Negative (N),
and Overflow (V).
Functions of Registers in ARM:
• Enable fast execution of instructions.
• Store and manipulate data within the CPU.

Types of Interrupts in Arduino:
1. External Interrupts – Triggered by external signals (pins 2 and 3 on Arduino Uno).
2. Timer Interrupts – Based on internal timers for periodic tasks.
Using an Interrupt in Arduino
Example: LED toggles when a button is pressed (interrupt-based)
const int buttonPin = 2; // Interrupt pin
const int ledPin = 13;
volatile bool ledState = LOW;

void toggleLED() {
ledState = !ledState; // Toggle LED state
digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
}

void setup() {
 pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(buttonPin), toggleLED, FALLING);
}

void loop() {
// Main code runs separately
