Difference between SIM and RIM instructions in 8085 microprocessor
Set Interrupt Mask (SIM) :
In 8085 Instruction set, SIM stands for “Set Interrupt Mask”. It is 1-Byte instruction and it is a multi-purpose instruction.
In 8085 Instruction set, SIM stands for “Set Interrupt Mask”. It is 1-Byte instruction and it is a multi-purpose instruction.
The main uses of SIM instruction are –
- Masking/unmasking of RST7.5, RST6.5, and RST5.5
- Reset to 0 RST7.5 flip-flop.
- Perform serial output of data.
Read Interrupt Mask (RIM) :
In 8085 Instruction set, RIM stands for “Read Interrupt Mask”. It is a 1-Byte multi-purpose instruction.
In 8085 Instruction set, RIM stands for “Read Interrupt Mask”. It is a 1-Byte multi-purpose instruction.
It is used for the following purposes –
- To check whether RST7.5, RST6.5, and RST5.5 are masked or not.
- To check whether interrupts are enabled or not.
- To check whether RST7.5, RST6.5, or RST5.5 interrupts are pending or not.
- To perform serial input of data.
Difference between SIM and RIM instructions in 8085 microprocessor:
| SR. NO. | SIM INSTRUCTION | RIM INSTRUCTION |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SIM stands for Set Interrupt Mask. | RIM stands for Read Interrupt Mask. |
| 2 | It is responsible for masking/unmasking of RST 7.5, RST 6.5 and RST 5.5. | It checks whether RST 7.5, RST 6.5, RST 5.5 are masked or not. |
| 3 | It resets to 0 RST 7.5 flip flop. | It checks whether interrupts are enabled or not and to check whether RST 7.5, RST 6.5 or RST 5.5 interrupts are pending or not. |
| 4 | The content of the Accumulator decides the action to be taken. So before executing the SIM instruction, it is mandatory to initialize Accumulator with the required value. | The contents of the Accumulator after the execution of the RIM instruction provide this information.Thus, it is essential to look into the Accumulator contents after the RIM instruction is executed. |
| 5 | SIM instruction can be used for serial output of data. | RIM instruction can be used for serial input of data. |
| 6 | Its opcode(in Hex) is 30. | Its opcode(in Hex) is 20. |
