Two machine codes 00111110 (3EH) and 00110010 (32H)
are stored in memory locations 8000H and 8001H,
respectively. The first machine code (3EH) represents the
opcode to load a data byte in the accumulator, and the
1 second code (32H) represents the data byte to be loaded in R CO1 1
the accumulator. Illustrate the bus timings as these machine
codes are executed. Calculate the time required to execute
the Opcode Fetch and the Memory Read cycles and the
entire instruction cycle if the clock frequency is 2 MHz.
