Q.

MIPS
A. Acronym for million instructions per second. A old measure of a computer's speed and power, MIPS
measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second

MIPS (originally an acronym for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) is a reduced instruction set
computer (RISC) instruction set (ISA) developed by MIPS Technologies (formerly MIPS Computer Systems,
Inc.). The early MIPS architectures were 32-bit, with 64-bit versions added later. Multiple revisions of the MIPS
instruction set exist, including MIPS I, MIPS II, MIPS III, MIPS IV, MIPS V, MIPS32, and MIPS64. The current
revisions are MIPS32 (for 32-bit implementations) and MIPS64 (for 64-bit implementations)

Q. Power electronics

A. Power electronics is the application of solid-state electronics for the control and conversion of electric
power.
The power conversion systems can be classified according to the type of the input and output power
AC to DC (rectifier)
DC to AC (inverter)
DC to DC (DC-to-DC converter)
AC to AC (AC-to-AC converter)

Q. Why 8086 have 2 ground pins
A. The 8086 has 2 ground pins in order to improve its ability to pull multiple, potentially all, of the bus pins
to ground, in a period of time that meets the fall time and fan out requirements of the bus. Pull to ground
(VOL) requires more current than pull to VOH because of the design of LS TTL. Even though the internal
design of the 8086 is MOS technology based, the external data bus is designed to interface with LS TTL.
There are two grounds in the 8086 microprocessor in order the split the load of all of the possible output pins
that can pull to ground. Splitting the load between two pins cuts the possible current draw on each pin by
one half. It is not necessary to also split Vcc because the TTL interface does not require as high a pull up
current as it does a pull down current.
