Q1. Differentiate between RISC and CISC
Ans. 
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing and CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computing.
• RISC processors have a smaller set of simple instructions, while CISC processors have a larger set of complex instructions.

• RISC processors typically execute instructions in one clock cycle, while CISC processors may require multiple clock cycles.

• RISC processors rely on optimizing compilers for performance, while CISC...read more

Q2. Define and differentiate interpreter and compiler
Ans. 
Interpreter translates code line by line while compiler translates entire code at once.
• Interpreter: translates code line by line, slower execution, easier debugging (e.g. Python)

• Compiler: translates entire code at once, faster execution, harder debugging (e.g. C++)

Q1. DO 178 B/C Process
Ans. 
DO 178 B/C is a software development standard for airborne systems.
• DO 178 B/C is a set of guidelines for developing software for airborne systems.

• It ensures that software is reliable, safe, and meets regulatory requirements.

• The process includes requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and verification.

• Compliance with DO 178 B/C is often required for certification of avionics software.

Q1. Difference between RISC and CISC?
Ans. 
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) has a smaller set of simple instructions, while CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) has a larger set of complex instructions.
• RISC processors have simpler instructions that can be executed in a single clock cycle, making them faster.

• CISC processors have more complex instructions that may require multiple clock cycles to execute.

• RISC architectures typically have a smaller chi...read more

Q2. How ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) works?
Ans. 
ADC converts analog signals into digital data by sampling the input signal at regular intervals.
• ADC samples the input signal at regular intervals

• It quantizes the sampled values into discrete digital values

• The resolution of ADC determines the number of possible digital values

• Common types of ADC include successive approximation ADC and delta-sigma ADC
