Absolute and Partial (Linear Select) Decoding

Absolute and Partial (Linear Select) Decoding 

There are two kinds of address decoding techniques. These are

  • Absolute Decoding — also known as Full Decoding.
  •  Linear Decoding — also known as Partial Decoding.

In Figure:- A all eight address line are decoded to generate one unique output pulse; the device will be selected only with the address, 01H. This is called Aboslute Decoding and is a good design practice. However, to minimize the cost, the output port can be selected by decoding some of the address lines, as figure:-B this is called Partial Decoding. as a result, the device has multiple addresses (similar to foldback memory addresses). 
Figure A:- Aboslute Decoding

The Partial Decoding is a commonly used technique in small systems. such multiple addresses will not cause any problems, provided these addresses are not assigned to any other output ports.
Figure B:- Partial Decoding



Full Address Decoding
(Absolute Decoding)
Partial Address Decoding
(Linear Decoding)
1. All higher address lines are decoded to select the memory or I/O device.
2. More hardware is required to design decoding logic.
3. Higher cost for decoding circuit.
4. No Multiple addresses.
5. Used in large system.
6. Future memory expansion is easier.
7. No bus contention problem.
1. Few higher address lines are decoded to select the memory or I/O device.
2. Hardware required to design decoding logic is less and sometimes it can be eliminated.
3. Less cost for decoding circuit.
4. It has a advantage of multiple addresses.
5. Used in small system.
6. Future memory expansion is difficult.
7. May suffer from bus contention problem.
8. Suffers from the drawback of multiple addresses (also called shadow addresses).

 1.  Store 8-bit data in memory   Statement: Store the data byte 32H into memory location 4000H. Program 1: MVI A, 52H  : Store 32H in the accumulator STA 4000H  : Copy accumulator contents at address 4000H HLT              : Terminate program execution Program 2: LXI H           : Load HL with 4000H MVI M                   : Store 32H in the memory location pointed by HL register pair (4000H) HLT              : Terminate program execution The result of both programs will be the same. In program 1 direct addressing instruction is used, whereas in program 2 indirect addressing instruction is used. Exchange the contents of memory locations Statement: Exchange the con...

Demultiplexing Address/Data Bus AD7- AD0

Image
Demultiplexing Address/Data Bus AD7- AD0  Pin 30 of 8085 is the ALE pin which stands for ‘Address Latch Enable’. ALE signal is used to demultiplex the lower order address bus (AD0 – AD7). Pins 12 to 19 of 8085 are AD0 – AD7 which is the multiplexed address-data bus. Multiplexing is done to reduce the number of pins of 8085. Lower byte of address (A0 – A7) are available from AD0 – AD7 (pins 12 to 19) during T1 of machine cycle. But the lower byte of address (A0 – A7), along with the upper byte A8 – A15 (pins 21 to 28) must be available during T2 and rest of the machine cycle to access memory location or I/O ports. Now ALE signal goes high at the beginning of T1 of each machine cycle and goes low at the end of T1 and remains low during the rest of the machine cycle. This high to low transition of ALE signal at the end of T1 is used to latch the lower order address byte (A0 – A7) by the latch IC 74LS373, so that the lower byte A0 – A7 is continued to be available till the end of the m...
