    Study Notes

    8086 Microprocessor

    • The 8086 microprocessor was first released in 1978.
    • It's now manufactured using the HMOS III technique.
    • It has approximately 29,000 transistors.
    • It has a 40-pin DIP and a 5V supply.
    • It doesn't have an internal clock, using an external clock source with a 33% duty cycle.
    • The 20-bit address allows it to access up to 1 megabytes (2^20) of memory space.

    Addressing Modes

    • Every instruction uses addressing modes to specify how data for the operation is obtained.
    • There are 12 different addressing modes: Register, Immediate, Direct, Register Indirect, Based, Indexed, Based Indexed, String, Direct I/O port, Indirect I/O port, Relative, and Implied.
    • Groups are:
      • Group I: Register and Immediate
      • Group II: Memory data
      • Group III: I/O ports
      • Group IV: Relative
      • Group V: Implied

    Instruction Set

    • The 8086 instruction set includes 6 categories:
      • Data Transfer Instructions
      • Arithmetic Instructions
      • Logical Instructions
      • String Manipulation Instructions
      • Processor Control Instructions
      • Control Transfer Instructions

    Registers

    • The 8086 microprocessor has general-purpose, pointer, index, and segment registers.
    • Each register type has specific functions, for example some are 16-bit and can be broken down into 2 8-bit registers (BX, and AX).
    • Registers can store data, or temporary values needed during calculations, or pointers indicating locations in memory, or for specifying particular segments of memory.

    Assemble Directives

    • Assembler directives give instructions to the assembler about how the program should be organized.
    • They tell the assembler how to allocate memory and where to store different sections of the program.
    • Types of assembler directives include:
      • DB (Define Byte)
      • DW (Define Word)
      • SEGMENT and ENDS (marking code segments or data segments)
      • ASSUME (telling the assembler what segments the code should be placed in)
      • ORG (specifying memory location where the code begins)
      • EQU (defining values of variables)
      • PROC and ENDP (specifying the beginning and end of procedures/subroutines)
      • MACRO and ENDM (defining macros)
      • Other common directives
