Chapter 2.3, Problem 2QE

Suppose the Vole memory cells at addresses 0xB0 to 0xB8 contain the bit patterns given in the following table:

Address	Contents
0xB0	0x13
0xB1	0xB8
0xB2	0xA3
0xB3	0x02
0xB4	0x33
0xB5	0xB8
0xB6	0xC0
0xB7	0x00
0xB8	0x0F

a. If the program counter starts at 0xB0, what bit pattern is in register number 0x3 after the first instruction has been executed?
b. What bit pattern is in memory cell 0xB8 when the halt instruction is executed?

QUESTION 9 What is the hexadecimal representation of the memory variable location at address 003FBA03H in the Little Endian format from the 32-bit binary quantity represented by 10100111 110111100101101100001100b? Address in hexadecimal format 003FBA00H 003FBA01H 003FBA02H 003FBA03H 003FBA04H Data in hexadecimal format O a. The hexadecimal representation for the variable located at memory address 003FBA03 is A8. Ob. The hexadecimal representation for the variable located at memory address 003FBA03 is A5. OC. The hexadecimal representation for the variable located at memory address 003FBA03 is A3. Od. The hexadecimal representation for the variable located at memory address 003FBA03 is A7.

0001 = Load AC from memory 0010 = Store AC to memory 0101 = Add to AC from memory 0011 = Load AC (the accumulator register) from an I/O device 0111 = Store AC to an I/O device With these instructions, a particular I/O device is identified by replacing the 12-bit address portion with a 12-bit device number. Remember that a number ending with a small ‘h’ means the number is a hexadecimal number. What is the hexadecimal string that expresses the following instructions? Load AC from memory location 62h. Add the contents of memory location 451h to AC. Store AC to memory location 8h. Store AC to I/O device number 8h.
