µP has to interrupt the main
program execution, service the
interrupt request (obviously a
short subroutine) and retake
the main program from the
point where it was interrupt.

 Flag register contains information reflecting the current status of a
microprocessor. It also contains information which controls the
operation of the microprocessor.

MOV
 Machine code structure
Opcode Operand1
 Opcode tells what operation is to be performed.
(EU control logic generates ALU control signals according to Opcode)
 Some instructions do not have operands, or have only one operand
 Operands tell what data should be used in the operation. Operands can
be addresses telling where to get data (or where to store results)

2. According to the instruction, EU control
logic generates control signals.
(This process is also referred to as instruction
decoding)
3. Depending on the control signal,
EU performs one of the following
operations:
 An arithmetic operation
 A logic operation
 Storing a datum into a register
 Moving a datum from a register
 Changing flag register

Addr1 + 0FFFF
Memory Segmentation
 A segment is a 64KB block of memory starting from any 16-byte
boundary
 For example: 00000, 00010, 00020, 20000, 8CE90, and E0840 are all valid
segment addresses
 The requirement of starting from 16-byte boundary is due to the 4-bit
left shifting

Memory Address Calculation
 Segment addresses must be stored

 Offset is derived from the combination

12352 MOV AL, 0
8086 Memory
 Update IP
— After an instruction is fetched, Register IP is updated as follows:
IP = IP + Length of the fetched instruction
— For Example: the length of MOV AL, 0 is 2 bytes. After fetching this instruction,
the IP is updated to 0014
Accessing Data Memory
 There is a number of methods to generate the memory address when
accessing data memory. These methods are referred to as
Addressing Modes
 Examples:
— Direct addressing: MOV AL, [0300H]
1 2 3 4 0
0 3 0 0
2 6 4 01
DS
Memory address
(assume DS=1234H)
— Register indirect addressing: MOV AL, [SI]
1 2 3 4 0
0 3 1 0
2 6 5 01
DS
Memory address
(assume DS=1234H)
(assume SI=0310H)
Reserved Memory Locations

area
Interrupt
pointer
table
 Locations from 00000H to 003FFH
are used for the interrupt pointer table
 Locations from FFFF0H to FFFFFH
are used for system reset code
 Some memory locations are reserved for special purposes.
Programs should not be loaded in these areas
 It has 256 table entries
 Each table entry is 4 bytes
256 × 4 = 1024 = memory addressing space
From 00000H to 003FFH
Interrupts
 An interrupt is an event that occurs while the processor is executing a program
 The interrupt temporarily suspends execution of the program and switch the
processor to executing a special routine (interrupt service routine)
 When the execution of interrupt service routine is complete, the processor
resumes the execution of the original program
Hardware Interrupts Software Interrupts
 Caused by activating the processor’s
interrupt control signals (NMI,
INTR)
 Caused by the execution of an INT
instruction
 Caused by an event which is
generated
by the execution of a program, such
as division by zero
 Interrupt classification
 8088 can have 256 interrupts
Minimum and Maximum Operation modes
 Intel 8086 has two operation modes:
Minimum Mode Maximum Mode
 8086 generates control signals
for memory and I/O operations
 It needs 8288 bus controller to generate
control signals for memory and I/O
operations
 Some functions are not available
in minimum mode
 It allows the use of 8087 coprocessor;
it also provides other functions
 Compatible with 8085-based
systems
