Theory
It is a 16 bit microprocessor. 8086 has a 20 bit address bus can access upto 220 memory
locations (1 MB). It can support upto 64K I/O ports. It provides 14, 16-bit registers. It has
multiplexed address and data bus AD0- AD15 and A16 A19. It requires single phase clock
with 33% duty cycle to provide internal timing. 8086 is designed to operate in two modes,
Minimum and Maximum. It can prefetches upto 6 instruction bytes from memory and queues
them in order to speed up instruction execution. It requires +5V power supply. It is a 40 pin
dual in line package.
Minimum and Maximum Modes:
The minimum mode is selected by applying logic 1 to the MN / MX* input pin. This is a
single microprocessor configuration.
The maximum mode is selected by applying logic 0 to the MN / MX* input pin. This is a
multi microprocessor configuration.

Internal Architecture of 8086


8086 has two blocks BIU and EU. The BIU performs all bus operations such as instruction
fetching, reading and writing operands for memory and calculating the addresses of the
memory operands. The instruction bytes are transferred to the instruction queue. EU executes
Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Nvis 5586A

instructions from the instruction system byte queue. Both units operate asynchronously to
give the 8086 an overlapping instruction fetch and execution mechanism which is called as
Pipelining. This results in efficient use of the system bus and system performance. BIU
contains Instruction queue, Segment registers, Instruction pointer, and Address adder. EU
contains Control circuitry, Instruction decoder, ALU, Pointer and Index register, Flag
register.
Bus Interface Unit:
It provides a full 16 bit bidirectional data bus and 20 bit address bus. The bus interface unit is
responsible for performing all external bus operations.
Specifically it has the following functions:
Instruction fetching,
Instruction queuing,
Operand fetch and storage,
Address relocation and Bus control.
The BIU uses a mechanism known as an instruction stream queue to implement pipeline
architecture. This queue permits prefetch of up to six bytes of instruction code. Whenever the
queue of the BIU is not full, it has room for at least two more bytes and at the same time the
EU is not requesting it to read or write operands from memory, the BIU is free to look ahead
in the program by prefetching the next sequential instruction. These prefetching instructions
are held in its FIFO queue. With its 16 bit data bus, the BIU fetches two instruction bytes in a
single memory cycle. After a byte is loaded at the input end of the queue, it automatically
shifts up through the FIFO to the empty location nearest the output.
The EU accesses the queue from the output end. It reads one instruction byte after the other
from the output of the queue. If the queue is full and the EU is not requesting access to
operand in memory, these intervals of no bus activity, which may occur between bus cycles,
are known as idle state.
If the BIU is already in the process of fetching an instruction when the EU request it to read
or write operands from memory or I/O, the BIU first completes the instruction fetch bus
cycle before initiating the operand read / write cycle.
The BIU also contains a dedicated adder which is used to generate the 20 bit physical address
that is output on the address bus. This address is formed by adding an appended 16 bit
segment address and a 16 bit offset address.
For example, the physical address of the next instruction to be fetched is formed by
combining the current contents of the code segment CS register and the current contents of
the instruction pointer IP register.
Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Nvis 5586A

The BIU is also responsible for generating bus control signals such as those for memory read
or write and I/O read or write.
Execution Unit:
The Execution unit is responsible for decoding and executing all instructions. The EU
extracts instructions from the top of the queue in the BIU, decodes them, generates operands
if necessary, passes them to the BIU and requests it to perform the read or write bys cycles to
memory or I/O and perform the operation specified by the instruction on the operands.
During the execution of the instruction, the EU tests the status and control flags and updates
them based on the results of executing the instruction. If the queue is empty, the EU waits
for the next instruction byte to be fetched and shifted to top of the queue.
When the EU executes a branch or jump instruction, it transfers control to a location
corresponding to another set of sequential instructions. Whenever this happens, the BIU
automatically resets the queue and then begins to fetch instructions from this new location to
refill the queue.

Minimum Mode Interface


When the Minimum mode operation is selected, the 8086 provides all control signals needed
to implement the memory and I/O interface. The minimum mode signal can be divided into
the following basic groups: address/data bus, status, control, interrupt and DMA.
Address/Data Bus: These lines serve two functions. As an address bus is 20 bits long and
consists of signal lines A0 through A19. A19 represents the MSB and A0 represents the LSB.
A 20-bit address gives the 8086 a 1Mbyte memory address space.

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

11

Nvis 5586A

More over it has an independent I/O address space which is 64K bytes in length. The 16 data
bus lines D0 through D15 are actually multiplexed with address lines A0 through A15
respectively. By multiplexed we mean that the bus work as an address bus during first
machine cycle and as a data bus during next machine cycles. D15 is the MSB and D0 is the
LSB.
When acting as a data bus, they carry read/write data for memory, input/output data for I/O
devices, and interrupt type codes from an interrupt controller.

Status signal:
The four most significant address lines A19 through A16 are also multiplexed but in this case
with status signals S6 through S3. These status bits are output on the bus at the same time
that data are transferred over the other bus lines.
Bit S4 and S3 together from a 2 bit binary code that identifies which of the 8086 internal
segment registers is used to generate the physical address that was output on the address bus
during the current bus cycle.
Code S4S3 = 00 identifies a register known as extra segment register as the source of the
segment address.
Memory Segment Status Codes

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Nvis 5586A

Status line S5 reflects the status of another internal characteristic of the 8086. It is the logic
level of the internal enable flag. The last status bit S6 is always at the logic 0 level.
Control Signals: The control signals are provided to support the 8086 memory I/O
interfaces. They control functions such as when the bus is to carry a valid address in which
direction data are to be transferred over the bus, when valid write data are on the bus and
when to put read data on the system bus.
ALE is a pulse to logic 1 that signals external circuitry when a valid address word is on the
bus. This address must be latched in external circuitry on the 1-to-0 edge of the pulse at ALE.
Another control signal that is produced during the bus cycle is BHE i.e. bank high enable.
Logic 0 on this used as a memory enable signal for the most significant byte half of the data
bus D8 through D1. These lines also serve a second function, which is as the S7 status line.
Using the M/IO* and DT/R* lines, the 8086 signals which type of bus cycle is in progress
and in which direction data are to be transferred over the bus. The logic level of M/IO* tells
external circuitry whether a memory or I/O transfer is taking place over the bus. Logic 1 at
this output signals a memory operation and logic 0 an I/O operation. The direction of data
transfer over the bus is signaled by the logic level output at DT/R*. When this line is logic 1
during the data transfer part of a bus cycle, the bus is in the transmit mode. Therefore, data
are either written into memory or output to an I/O device. On the other hand, logic 0 at
DT/R* signals that the bus is in the receive mode. This corresponds to reading data from
memory or input of data from an input port. The signals read RD and write WR indicate that
a read bus cycle or a write bus cycle is in progress. The 8086 switches WR to logic 0 to
intimate external device about valid write or output data are on the bus. On the other hand,
RD indicates that the 8086 is performing a read of data of the bus. During read operations,
one other control signal is also supplied. This is DEN (data enable) and it signals external
devices when they should put data on the bus. There is one other control signal that is
involved with the memory and I/O interface. This is the READY signal. READY signal is
used to insert wait states into the bus cycle such that it is extended by a number of clock
periods. This signal is provided by an external clock generator device and can be supplied by

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

13

Nvis 5586A

the memory or I/O subsystem to signal the 8086 when they are ready to permit the data
transfer to be completed.
Interrupt signals: The key interrupt interface signals are interrupt request (INTR) and
interrupt acknowledge (INTA). INTR is an input to the 8086 that can be used by an external
device to signal that it needs to be serviced. Logic 1 at INTR represents an active interrupt
request. When an interrupt request has been recognized by the 8086, it indicates this fact to
external circuit with pulse to logic 0 at the INTA output. The TEST input is also related to
the external interrupt interface. Execution of a WAIT instruction causes the 8086 to check
the logic level at the TEST input. If the logic 1 is found, the MPU suspend operation and
goes into the idle state. The 8086 no longer executes instructions; instead it repeatedly checks
the logic level of the TEST input waiting for its transition back to logic 0. As TEST switches
to 0, execution resume with the next instruction in the program. This feature can be used to
synchronize the operation of the 8086 to an event in external hardware. There are two more
inputs in the interrupt interface: the non-maskable interrupt NMI and the reset interrupt
RESET. On the 0-to-1 transition of NMI control is passed to a non-maskable interrupt
service routine. The RESET input is used to provide a hardware reset for the 8086. Switching
RESET to logic 0 initializes the internal register of the 8086 and initiates a reset service
routine.
DMA Interface signals: The direct memory access DMA interface of the 8086 minimum
mode consist of the HOLD and HLDA signals. When an external device wants to take
control of the system bus, it signals to the 8086 by switching HOLD to the logic 1 level. At
the completion of the current bus cycle, the 8086 enters the hold state. In the hold state,
signal lines AD0 through AD15, A16/S3 through A19/S6, BHE, M/IO*, DT/R*, RD, WR,
DEN and INTR are all in the high Z state. The 8086 signals external device that it is in this
state by switching its HLDA output to logic 1 level.
Maximum Mode Interface: When the 8086 is set for the maximum-mode configuration; it
provides signals for implementing a multiprocessor / coprocessor system environment. By
multiprocessor environment we mean that one microprocessor exists in the system and that
each processor is executing its own program. Usually in this type of system environment,
there are some system resources that are common to all processors. They are called as global
resources. There are also other resources that are assigned to specific processors. These are
known as local or private resources.
Coprocessor also means that there is a second processor in the system. In this, both
processors does not access the bus at the same time. One passes the control of the system bus
to the other and then may suspend its operation. In the maximum-mode 8086 system,
facilities are provided for implementing allocation of global resources and passing bus
control to other microprocessor or coprocessor.

8086 Maximum Mode Block Diagram

8288 Bus Controller Bus Command and Control Signals: 8086 does not directly
provide all the signals that are required to control the memory, I/O and interrupt interfaces.
Specially the WR*, M/IO*, DT/R*, DEN, ALE and INTA, signals are no longer produced by
the 8086. Instead it outputs three status signals S0*, S1*, S2* prior to the initiation of each
bus cycle. This 3- bit bus status code identifies which type of bus cycle is to follow.
S2*S1*S0* are input to the external bus controller device, the bus controller generates the
appropriately timed command and control signals.
The 8288 chip receive the status signal S2*, S1* and S0* and the clock from 8086. Theses
status signals are decoded to generate MRDC* (Memory read command), MWTC* (memory
write command), IORC* (I/O read command), IOWC* (I/O write command), INTA*
(Interrupt acknowledgement) signal. In addition, it can generate advanced memory and I/O
write signals AMWC* (Advanced memory write command), AIOWC* (Advanced I/O write
command) that are enabled one clock cycle earlier than the normal write control signals
because some device require wider cycle.

The 8288 also can generate bus control signals DEN, DT/R*, ALE, MCE/ (PDEN)* i.e.
Master Cascade/Peripheral Data Enable. The function of the 1 st three signals are the same as
those in the minimum mode. The signal MCE/ (PDEN)* has 2-functions depending on the
mode in which 8288 is operating. The 8288 can either operate in I/O bus mode or system bus
mode. When CEN (command enable) and IOB (I/O bus) input pin are wired high, the 8288
operate in I/O bus mode. In this mode, the signal PDNE* functions in the same way as DEN
but it is active only during I/O instruction. This facility enables 8288 to control 2 set of
buses: System bus and I/O bus separately
With AEN* (Address enable) and CEN inputs low, the 8288 functions in system bus mode.
When multiple processors are sharing the same bus, active processors can be selected by

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

enabling the corresponding 8288 via AEN* input. In this mode, the signal MCE (Master
cascade enable) is used for selecting the appropriate interrupt controller.
Bus Status Codes:

The 8288 produces one or two of these eight command signals for each bus cycles. For
instance, when the 8086 outputs the code S2*S1*S0* equals 001; it indicates that an I/O
read cycle is to be performed. In the code 111 is output by the 8086, it is signaling that no
bus activity is to take place. The control outputs produced by the 8288 are DEN, DT/R* and
ALE. These 3 signals provide the same functions as those described for the minimum system
mode. This set of bus commands and control signals is compatible with the Multibus and
industry standard for interfacing microprocessor systems.
Queue Status Signals: Two new signals that are produced by the 8086 in the maximummode system are queue status outputs QS0 and QS1. Together they form a 2-bit queue status
code, QS1QS0.
Following table shows the four different queue status.

Local Bus Control Signal: Request / Grant Signals:


In a maximum mode configuration, the minimum mode HOLD, HLDA interface is also
changed. These two are replaced by request/grant lines RQ/ GT0 and RQ/ GT1, respectively.
They provide a prioritized bus access mechanism for accessing the local bus.
Minimum Mode 8086 System
In a minimum mode 8086 system, the microprocessor 8086 is operated in minimum mode by
strapping its MN/MX* pin to logic 1. In this mode, all the control signals are given out by the
microprocessor chip itself. There is a single microprocessor in the minimum mode system.
The remaining components in the system are latches, transreceiver, clock generator, memory
and I/O devices. Some type of chip selection logic may be required for selecting memory or
I/O devices, depending upon the address map of the system. Latches are generally buffered
output D-type flip-flops like 74LS373 or 8282. They are used for separating the valid address
from the multiplexed address/data signals and are controlled by the ALE signal generated by
8086. Transreceiver are the bidirectional buffers and sometimes they are called as data
amplifiers. They are required to separate the valid data from the time multiplexed
address/data signals. They are controlled by two signals namely, DEN and DT/R*. The DEN
signal indicates the direction of data, i.e. from or to the processor. The system contains
memory for the monitor and users program storage. Usually, EPROM is used for monitor
storage, while RAM for users program storage. A system may contain I/O devices. The
clock generator generates the clock from the crystal oscillator and then shapes it and divides
to make it more precise so that it can be used as an accurate timing reference for the system.
The clock generator also synchronizes some external signal with the system clock.
It has 20 address lines and 16 data lines; the 8086 CPU requires three octal address latches
and two octal data buffers for the complete address and data separation. The working of the
minimum mode configuration system can be better described in terms of the timing diagrams
rather than qualitatively describing the operations. The opcode fetch and read cycles are
similar. Hence the timing diagram can be categorized in two parts, the first is the timing
diagram for read cycle and the second is the timing diagram for write cycle. The read cycle
begins in T1 with the assertion of address latch enable (ALE) signal and also M/IO* signal.
During the negative going edge of this signal, the valid address is latched on the local bus.
The BHE and A0 signals address low, high or both bytes. From T1 to T4, the M/IO* signal
indicates a memory or I/O operation. At T2, the address is removed from the local bus and is
sent to the output. The bus is then tristated. The read (RD)* control signal is also activated in
T2. The read (RD)* signal causes the address device to enable its data bus drivers. After RD*
goes low, the valid data is available on the data bus. The addressed device will drive the
READY line high. When the processor returns the read signal to high level, the addressed
device will again tristate its bus drivers.

Read Cycle Timing Diagram for Minimum Mode


A write cycle also begins with the assertion of ALE and the emission of the address. The
M/IO* signal is again asserted to indicate a memory or I/O operation. In T2, after sending
the address in T1, the processor sends the data to be written to the addressed location. The
data remains on the bus until middle of T4 state. The WR* becomes active at the beginning
of T2 (unlike RD* is somewhat delayed in T2 to provide time for floating). The BHE and
A0 signals are used to select the proper byte or bytes of memory or I/O word to be read or
write. The M/IO*, RD* and WR* signals indicate the type of data transfer as specified in
table below.

Write Cycle Timing Diagram for Minimum Mode


Hold Response sequence:
The HOLD pin is checked at leading edge of each clock pulse. If it is received active by the
processor before T4 of the previous cycle or during T1 state of the current cycle, the CPU
activates HLDA in the next clock cycle and for succeeding bus cycles, the bus will be given
to another requesting master. The control of the bus is not regained by the processor until the
requesting master does not drop the HOLD pin low. When the request is dropped by the
requesting master, the HLDA is dropped by the processor at the trailing edge of the next
clock.

Bus Request and Bus Grant Timings in Minimum Mode System


Maximum Mode 8086 System
In the maximum mode, the 8086 is operated by strapping the MN/MX* pin to ground. In this
mode, the processor derives the status signal S2*, S1*, S0*. Another chip called bus
controller derives the control signal using this status information. In the maximum mode,
there may be more than one microprocessor in the system configuration. The components in
the system are same as in the minimum mode system. The basic function of the bus
controller chip IC8288, is to derive control signals like RD* and WR* (for memory and I/O
devices), DEN, DT/R*, ALE etc. using the information by the processor on the status lines.
The bus controller chip has input lines S2*, S1*, S0* and CLK. These inputs to 8288 are
driven by CPU. It derives the outputs ALE, DEN, DT/R*, MRDC*, MWTC*, AMWC*,
IORC*, IOWC* and AIOWC*. The AEN, IOB and CEN pins are specially useful for
multiprocessor systems. AEN and IOB are generally grounded. CEN pin is usually tied to
+5V. The significance of the MCE/PDEN* output depends upon the status of the IOB pin. If
IOB is grounded, it acts as master cascade enable to control cascade 8259A, else it acts as
peripheral data enable used in the multiple bus configurations. INTA* pin used to issue two
interrupt acknowledge pulses to the interrupt controller or to an interrupting device. IORC*,
IOWC* are I/O read command and I/O write command signals respectively. These signals
enable an IO interface to read or write the data from or to the address port. The MRDC*,
MWTC* are memory read command and memory write command signals respectively and
may be used as memory read or write signals. All these command signals instructs the
memory to accept or send data from or to the bus. For both of these write command signals,
the advanced signals namely AIOWC* and AMWC* are available. They also serve the same
purpose, but are activated one clock cycle earlier than the IOWC* and MWTC* signals
respectively.
The maximum mode system timing diagrams are divided in two portions as read (input) and
write (output) timing diagrams. The address/data and address/status timings are similar to the
minimum mode. ALE is asserted in T1, just like minimum mode. The only difference lies in
the status signal used and the available control and advanced command signals.

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Nvis 5586A

Maximum Mode 8086 System


Here the only difference between in timing diagram between minimum mode and maximum
mode is the status signals used and the available control and advanced command signals. R0,
S1*, S2* are set at the beginning of bus cycle. 8288 bus controller will output a pulse as on
the ALE and apply a required signal to its DT / R* pin during T1. In T2, 8288 will set
DEN=1 thus enabling transceivers, and for an input it will activate MRDC* or IORC*. These
signals are activated until T4. For an output, the AMWC* or AIOWC* is activated from T2
to T4 and MWTC* or IOWC* is activated from T3 to T4. The status bit S0* to S2* remains
active until T3 and become passive during T3 and T4. If reader input is not activated before
T3, wait state will be inserted between T3 and T4.

Timings for RQ/ GT* Signals: The request/grant response sequence contains a series of
three pulses. The request/grant pins are checked at each rising pulse of clock input. When a
request is detected and if the conditions for HOLD request are satisfied, the processor issues
a grant pulse over the RQ/GT* pin immediately during T4 (current) or T1 (next) state. When
the requesting master receives this pulse, it accepts the control of the bus; it sends a release
pulse to the processor using RQ/GT* pin.

8086 CPU Registers


The 8086 has four groups of the user accessible internal registers. They are the instruction
pointer, four data registers, four pointer and index register, four segment registers. The 8086
has a total of fourteen 16-bit registers including a 16 bit register called the status register,
with 9 of bits implemented for status and control flags. Most of the registers contain
data/instruction offsets within 64 KB memory segment. There are four different 64 KB
segments for instructions, stack, data and extra data. To specify where in 1 MB of processor
memory these 4 segments are located the processor uses four segment registers:

Nvis 5586A

Code segment (CS) is a 16-bit register containing address of 64 KB segment with processor
instructions. The processor uses CS segment for all accesses to instructions referenced by
instruction pointer (IP) register. CS register cannot be changed directly. The CS register is
automatically updated during far jump, far call and far return instructions.
Stack segment (SS) is a 16-bit register containing address of 64KB segment with program
stack. By default, the processor assumes that all data referenced by the stack pointer (SP) and
base pointer (BP) registers is located in the stack segment. SS register can be changed
directly using POP instruction.
Data segment (DS) is a 16-bit register containing address of 64KB segment with program
data. By default, the processor assumes that all data referenced by general registers (AX, BX,
CX and DX) and index register (SI, DI) is located in the data segment. DS register can be
changed directly using POP and LDS (Load pointer using data segment) instructions.
Extra segment (ES) is a 16-bit register containing address of 64KB segment, usually with
program data. By default, the processor assumes that the DI register references the ES
segment in string manipulation instructions. ES register can be changed directly using POP
and LES (Load pointer using extra segment) instructions. It is possible to change default
segments used by general and index registers by prefixing instructions with a CS, SS, DS or
ES prefix.

Accumulator register consists of two 8-bit registers AL and AH, which can be combined
together and used as a 16- bit register AX. AL in this case contains the low-order byte of the
word, and AH contains the high-order byte. Accumulator can be used for I/O operations and
string manipulation.
Base register consists of two 8-bit registers BL and BH, which can be combined together and
used as a 16-bit register BX. BL in this case contains the low-order byte of the word, and BH
contains the high-order byte. BX register usually contains a data pointer used for based,
based indexed or register indirect addressing.
Count register consists of two 8-bit registers CL and CH, which can be combined together
and used as a 16-bit register CX. When combined, CL register contains the low-order byte of
the word, and CH contains the high-order byte. Count register can be used in Loop,
shift/rotate instructions and as a counter in string manipulation.
Data register consists of two 8-bit registers DL and DH, which can be combined together and
used as a 16-bitregister DX. When combined, DL register contains the low-order byte of the
word, and DH contains the high order byte. Data register can be used as a port number in I/O
operations. In integer 32-bit multiply and divide instruction the DX register contains highorder word of the initial or resulting number.
The following registers are both general and index registers:
Stack Pointer (SP) is a 16-bit register pointing to program stack.
Base Pointer (BP) is a 16-bit register pointing to data in stack segment. BP register is
usually used for based, based indexed or register indirect addressing.
Source Index (SI) is a 16-bit register. SI is used for indexed, based indexed and register
indirect addressing, as well as a source data address in string manipulation instructions.
Destination Index (DI) is a 16-bit register. DI is used for indexed, based indexed and
register indirect addressing, as well as a destination data address in string manipulation
instructions.
Other registers:
Instruction Pointer (IP) is a 16-bit register.
Flags are a 16-bit register containing 9 one bit flags.

The 8086 Addressing Modes


Addressing mode indicates a way of locating data or operands. The addressing modes
describe the types of operands and the way they are accessed for executing an instruction.
1. Immediate Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the data is provided in the
instruction.
Example: MOV AX, 0006H
2. Direct Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the instruction operand specifies the
memory address where data is located.
Example: MOV AX, [7000H]
3. Register Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the data is stored in a register and
it is referred using the particular register. All the registers, except IP, may be used in this
mode.
Example: MOV BX, AX
4. Register indirect Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the offset address of data
is in either BX or SI or DI registers. The default segment is either DS or ES.
Example: MOV AX, [BX]
Here data is present in a memory location in DS whose offset address is in BX.
5. Register Relative Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the data is available at an
effective address formed by adding an 8-bit or 16-bit displacement with the content of
any one of the registers BX, BP, SI and DI in the default (either DS or ES) segment.
Example: MOV AX, 50H [BX]
6. Indexed Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the offset of the operand is stored
in one of the index registers. DS and ES are the default segments for index registers SI
and DI respectively. 8-bit or 16-bit instruction operand is added to the contents of an
index register (SI or DI), the resulting value is a pointer to location where data resides.
Example: MOV AX, [SI]
7. Based Indexed Addressing Mode: In this addressing mode, the effective address of data
is formed by adding content of a base register (any one of BX or BP) to the content of an
index register (any one of SI or DI), the resulting value is a pointer to location where
data resides. The default segment register may be ES or DS.
Example: MOV AX, [BX] [SI]
8. Relative Based Indexed Addressing Mode: The effective address is formed by adding
an 8-bit or 16-bit displacement with the sum of to the contents of a base register (BX or
BP) and index register (SI or DI), in a default segment.
Example: MOV AX, 50 [BX] [SI]
In Nvis 5586A Register relative, Based indexed and Relative based indexed addressing
modes are only supported by entering opcode.

Instruction Set of 8086:


1. Data Copy/ Transfer Instructions: This type of instructions is used to transfer data
from source operand to destination operand. All the store, move, load, exchange, input
and output instructions belong to this category.
2. Arithmetic and Logical Instructions: All the instructions performing arithmetic,
logical, increment, decrement, compare and scan instructions belong to this category.
3. Branch Instructions: These instructions transfer control of execution to the specified
address. All the call, jump, interrupt and return instructions belong to this class.
4. Loop Instructions: If these instructions have REP prefix with CX used as count
register, they can be used to implement unconditional and conditional loops. The LOOP,
LOOPNZ and LOOPZ instructions belong to this category. These are useful to
implement different loop structures.
5. Machine Control Instructions: These instructions control the machine status. NOP,
HLT, WAIT and LOCK instructions belong to this class.
6. Flag Manipulation Instructions: All the instructions which directly affect the flag
register, come under this group of instructions. Instructions like CLD, SYD, CLI, STI etc.
belong to this category of instructions.
7. Shift and Rotate Instructions: These instructions involve the bitwise shifting or rotation
in either direction with or without a count in CX.
8. String Instructions: These instructions involve various string manipulation operations
like load, move, scan, compare, store etc. These instructions are only to be operated upon
the strings.

Memory
Program, data and stack memories occupy the same memory space. As the most of the
processor instructions use 16-bit pointers, the processor can effectively address only 64 KB
of memory.
To access memory outside of 64 KB the CPU uses special segment registers to specify
where the code, stack and data 64 KB segments are positioned within 1 MB of memory.
16-bit pointers and data are stored as:
Address: low-order byte
Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

31

Nvis 5586A

Address+1: high-order byte


32-bit addresses are stored in "segment: offset" format as:
Address: low-order byte of segment
Address+1: high-order byte of segment
Address+2: low-order byte of offset
Address+3: high-order byte of offset
Physical memory address pointed by segment: offset pair is calculated as:
Address = (<segment> * 16) + <offset>
Program memory: Program can be located anywhere in memory. Jump and call instructions
can be used for short jumps within currently selected 64 KB code segment, as well as for far
jumps anywhere within 1 MB of memory. All conditional jump instructions can be used to
jump within approximately +127 to -127 bytes from current instruction.
Data memory: The processor can access data in any one out of 4 available segments, which
limits the size of accessible memory to 256 KB (if all four segments point to different 64 KB
blocks).
Accessing data from the Data, Code, Stack or Extra segments can be usually done by
prefixing instructions with the DS:, CS:, SS: or ES: (some registers and instructions by
default may use the ES or SS segments instead of DS segment).Word data can be located at
odd or even byte boundaries. The processor uses two memory accesses to read 16-bit word
located at odd byte boundaries. Reading word data from even byte boundaries requires only
one memory access.
Stack memory can be placed anywhere in memory. The stack can be located at odd memory
addresses, but it is not recommended for performance reasons.
Reserved locations:
0000H - 03FFH are reserved for interrupt vectors. Each interrupt vector is a 32-bit pointer
in format segment: offset.
FFFF0H - FFFFFH - after RESET the processor always starts program execution at the
FFFF0H address.
Interrupts
The dictionary meaning of the word interrupt is to break the sequence of operation. While
the CPU is executing a program, an interrupt breaks the normal sequence of execution of
instructions, diverts its execution to some other program called Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR). After executing ISR, the control is transferred back again to the main program which
was being executed at the time of interruption.

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

32

Nvis 5586A

Whenever a number of devices interrupt a CPU at a time, and if the processor is able to
handle them properly, it is said to have multiple interrupt processing capability. In 8086s,
there are two interrupt pins, NMI and INTR.
The NMI is a non maskable interrupt input pin which means that any interrupt request at
NMI input cannot be masked or disabled by any means. The INTR is of 256 types. The INTR
types may be from 00 to FFH. If more than one type of INTR interrupt occurs at a time, then
an external chip called Programmable interrupt controller is required to handle them.
Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) are the programs to be executed by interrupting the main
program execution of the CPU, after an interrupt request appears. After the execution of ISR,
the main program continues its execution further from the point at which it was interrupted.
Broadly there are two types of interrupt in the 8086 microprocessor. The first out of them is
external interrupt and second is internal interrupt. In external interrupt, an external device or
a signal interrupts the processor from outside or, in other words, the interrupt is generated
outside the processor, for example, a keyboard interrupt. The internal interrupt, on the other
hand, is generated internally by the processor circuit, or by the execution of an interrupt
instruction. The examples of this type are divide by zero interrupt, overflow interrupt,
interrupts due to INT instructions, etc.
Non-Maskable Interrupt
The processor 8086 has a non maskable interrupt input pin (NMI) that has the highest
priority among the external interrupts. TRAP is an internal interrupt having the highest
priority amongst all the interrupts except the Divide by Zero (Type0) exception.
The NMI pin should remain high for at least two clock cycles and is not needed to be
synchronized with the clock for being sensed. When NMI is activated, the current instruction
being executed is completed, and then the NMI is served.
Maskable Interrupts
The processor can inhibit certain types of interrupts by use of a special interrupt mask bit.
This mask bit is part of the flags/condition code register, or a special interrupt register. In the
8086 microprocessor if this bit is clear, and an interrupt request occurs on the Interrupt
Request input, it is ignored.
The processor 8086 also provides a pin INTR, which has lower priority as compared to NMI.
Further the priorities, within the INTR types are decided by the type of the INTR signal,
which is to be passed to the processor through data bus by some external device like the
Programmable Interrupt Controller (8255). The INTR signal is level triggered and can be
masked by resetting the interrupt flag. It is internally synchronized with the high transition of
CLK. For the INTR signal, to be responded to in the next instruction cycle, it must go high in
the last clock cycle of the current instruction or before that. The INTR requests appearing
after the last clock cycle of the current instruction will be responded to after the execution of

Hardware Description
CPU:
8086 is a 16 bit, third generation microprocessor and is suitable for an exceptionally wide
spectrum of microcomputer applications. This flexibility is one of most outstanding
characteristics.
8086 has got 16 data lines and 20 address lines. The lower 16 address lines are multiplexed
with 16 data lines. Hence it becomes necessary to latch the address lines. This is done by
using 74 LS 373. In fact several of the 40 CPU pins have dual functions that are selected by
a strapping pin. In this kit 8086 is used in the max. mode (MN/MX input held logically low).
The 8088 is designed with an 8-bit external path to memory and I/O. Except that the 8086
can transfer 16 bits at a time, the two processors & software are identical in almost every
respect. Software identical in almost every respect. Software written for one CPU will
execute on the other without alteration. The two processors are designed to operate with the
8089 I/O processors and other processors in multiprocessing and distributed processing
systems.
The INTR, TEST & Hold Inputs to 8086 are pulled down and are brought out at PCB FRC
connector.
The mask able interrupt INTR is available to the peripheral circuits through the expansion
Bus. To use the mask able interrupt an interrupt vector pointer must be provided on the data
bus when INTA is active. An interrupt Controller Circuit is provided to take care of more
than one source of interrupt.
Co-Processor 8087:
The 8087 Co-processor hooks have been designed into the 8086 and 8088 so that these
types of processor can be accommodated in the future. A co-processor differs from an
independent processor in that it obtains its instructions from another processor, called a host.
The co-processor monitors instructions fetched by the host and recognizes certain of these as
its own and executes them. A co-processor, in effect, extends the instruction set of its host
computer.
I/O Processor 8089:
The 8086 and 8088 are designed to be used with the 8089 in high performance I/O
applications. The 8089 in conceptually resembles a microprocessor with two DMA channels
and an instruction set specifically tailored for I/O operations. Unlike simple DMA
controllers, the 8089 can service I/O devices directly, removing this task from the CPU. In
addition, it can transfer data on its own bus or on the system bus, can match 8-bit or 16-bit
peripherals to 8-bit or 16-bit buses, and can transfer data from memory to memory and from
I/O devices to I/O device. 8089 has been used here in local mode. The system bus, can
match 8-bit or 16-bit peripherals to 8-bit or 16-bit buses, and can transfer data from memory
to memory and from I/O devices to I/O device. 8089 has been used here in local mode.
Clock Generation:

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

37

Nvis 5586A

The clock generator circuit is an Intels 8284 clock generator/driver. The circuit accepts a
crystal input which operates at a fundamental frequency of 6.144 MHz. (6.14 MHz was
selected since this frequency is a multiple of the baud rate clock and also provides a suitable
frequency for the CPU). The clock generator/driver divides the crystal frequency by three to
produce the 2MHz CLK signal required by the CPU. Additionally, the clock generator
performs a further divide-by-two output called PCLK (peripheral clock) which is the primary
clock signal used by the remainder of the circuits.
The clock generator/driver provides two control signal outputs which are synchronized
(internally) to the 2 MHz CLK signal; RDY (ready) and RST (reset). RST is used to reset
the Nvis 5586A to an initialized state that occurs when the RES input goes low (when power
first is applied or when the SYSTEM RESET key is pressed). The RDY output is active
(logically high) when the RDY 1 input from the wait state generator is active. As will be
explained in the next section, the RDY 1 input is active whenever onboard memory is
addressed or when a selected number of wait states occurs.
The system can operate at either 2 MHz or 1 MHz. This is selected by a set of jumpers JP3
on the right hand side of the 8284 clock generator as shown below:
1. 2 MHz (UPPER)
2. CLK
3. 1 MHz (LOWER)
The Nvis 5586A is supplied in 2 MHz configuration.
Bus Controller:
The 8288 is a Bus Controller which decodes status signals output by an 8089, or a maximum
mode 8086. When these signals indicate that the processor is to run a bus cycle, the 8288
issues a bus command that identifies the bus cycle as memory read, memory write, I/O read,
I/O write, etc. It also provides a signal that strobes the address into latches. The 8288
provides the drive level needed for the bus control lines in medium to large systems.
Memory:
Nvis 5586A provides 128K Bytes of EPROM loaded with monitor and 32K bytes of CMOS
RAM. The total onboard memory can be configured as follows:
EPROM

128K Bytes of EPROM using two 27C512.

RAM

32K Bytes of RAM.

The system provides two 28 Pin sockets for the EPROM area named as EVEN-ROM & ODDROM and two 28 Pin sockets for the RAM area named as EVEN-RAM & ODD-RAM.
EVEN-ROM & ODD-ROM can be defined to have EPROM 27512.
With the 20 bit address of 8086, a total of 1 Mega Bytes of memory can be addressed with
the address slot as 00000 to FFFFF. Although the total onboard memory capacity is 180K
Bytes 128K Bytes of EPROM and 32K Bytes of RAM.
8255:
8255 is a programmable peripheral interface (PPI) designed to use with 8086
Microprocessor. This basically acts as a general purpose I/O component to interface
Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

38

Nvis 5586A

peripheral equipments to the system bus. It is not necessary to have an external logic
interface with peripheral devices since the functional configuration of 8255 is programmed
by the system software. It has got three input/output ports of 8 lines each (PORT-A, PORTB and PORT-C). Port-C can be divided into two ports of 4 lines each named as Port-C upper
and Port-C lower. Any Input/Output combination of Port-A, Port-B, Port-C upper and PortC lower can be defined using the appropriate software commands. The Port addresses for
these ports are given here. Nvis 5586A provides nine Input/Output ports of 8 lines each
using three 8255 chips. These ports are brought out at connectors.
8253:
This chip is a programmable interval timer/counter and can be used for the generation of
accurate time delays under software control. Various other functions that can be implemented
with this chip are programmable rate generator. Event Counter, Binary rate multiplier, real
time clock etc. This chip has got three independent 16 bit counters each having a count rate
of up to 2 MHz. The CLK, GATE & OUT signals of these timers are brought out at the
connector.
8251:
This chip is a programmable communication interface and is used as a peripheral device.
This device accepts data characters from the CPU in parallel form and then converts them
into a continuous serial data stream for transmission. Simultaneously it can receive serial
data stream and converts them into parallel data characters for the CPU. This chip will signal
the CPU whenever it can accept a new character for transmission or whenever it has received
a character for the CPU. The CPU can read the complete status of it at any time. 8251 has
been utilized in Nvis 5586A for RS-232-C serial interface.
8259:
The 8259 is a device specifically designed for use in real time, interrupt driven
microcomputer systems. It manages eight levels of requests and has built in features for
expandability to other 8259s. It is programmed by systems software as an I/O peripheral.
A selection of priority modes in which the requests are processed by 8259 can be configured
to match his system requirements. The priority modes can be changed or reconfigured
dynamically at any time during the main program.
Battery Backup:
The Nvis 5586A provides a battery backup for the onboard RAM area using 3.6V Ni-Cd
Rechargeable battery. Nvis 5586A has facility for connecting +5V to the RAM area if the
Ni-Cd battery fails. The selection for +5V or Battery supply Jumper (JP2).
Display:
This display contains 2 lines and each line consists of 20 words (20x2). This is a cursor LCD
display modular. The CPU receives each 8 bits letter which is locked into the internal display
data of RAM (data display of RAM 80 bytes (D.D.RAM) allows 80 characters to be stored),
and transfer to 5x7 dot of array word and appear on the displayed.

Functional Block Diagram


Note: Some models incorporate a temperature compensation circuit within the bias voltage
generator.
The LCD0. modular has 2, 8-bits register-one instruction register (IR) and one data register
(DR).
The instruction register stores the instruction code and address information, which contains
display data RAM and address of character generator RAM. However, the content of IR is
only for read-in but not read-out.
The data register can only temporary store data, the input data first goes through LCD and is
stored in the data register. It will then automatically be transferred to display data RAM or
character generator RAM. When the CPU read the data from the displayed RAM or from the
Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

41

Nvis 5586A

character generator RAM, it wills also temporary store the data in the data register. When the
address information is input into the instruction register, the relative data will be moved from
display register RAM or character generator RAM to the data register. Then the data can be
read from data register by using the output instruction of CPU.
One way to select the two registers is to select the register signal (RS) like follow:
RS

R/W

Function
Data Bus > instruction Register
Read out busy flags (BUSY FLAG
DB7)
and address counter (DB0-DB6)
Input into data register and execute
the inner instruction: (D.R.RAM
> D.R.
OR C.G.RAM D.R.)
Get the data out from register, and
execute the inner instruction:
(D.D.RAM> D.R.
OR C.G.RAM> D.R.)

Busy Flag (B.F.):


When busy flag is 1, it indicates that the LCD Modular is executing the inner instruction
and no other instruction can be accepted. The LCD Modular can only accept information
when BF is lower to 0.
Address Counter (A.C.):
The address counter is used to count the display data RAM, or address of character generator
RAM. When the address setting instruction address will be sent into the address counter.
When the data is sent into or read out from display register RAM or from the character
generator RAM, the address counter will automatically add or subtract 1.
When the content of address counter is in RS = 0 and R/W = 1, the output data line is DB0
DB6.
Display Data RAM (D.D. RAM):
This is an 80x8 bit RAM, which can store 80 8-bit character codes as the display data; it can
be sent to CPU as the RAM data section without going through RAM section.

2.

A CG RAM address bit 0-2 designates the row position of each character pattern. The
8 the row is the cursor position. CG RAM data in the 8 the row is ORed with the

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

display cursor. Any 1 bits in the 8 the row will result in the displayed dot regardless
of the cursor status (ON/OFF). Accordingly, if the cursor is to be used, CG RAM data
for the 8 the row should be set to 0.
3.

CG RAM data bits 0-4 correspond to the column position of each character pattern bit
4 corresponding to the leftmost column of the character pattern CG RAM data bus are
not used for displaying character patterns, but may be used as a general.

4.

As shown in tables 2 and 3, character patterns in the CG RAM are accessed by


character codes with bits 4-7 equal to 0. For example, the character code 00 (HEX)
or 80 (HEX), since bit 3 of the character code is a dont care bit (i.e. can take either
value 0 or 1).

5.

CG RAM data 1 produces a dark dot, and data 0 produces a light dot in the
corresponding position on the display panel.

Functions of Reset:
Using the Internal Reset Circuit to Start:
LCD Modular internal has an automatic power supply to be used to RESET when the power
rises. During RESET, the busy flag is set. When the voltage is raised to 4.5V in about 10ms,
it is in the busy stage. The following instructions are then used to set the beginning stage of
LCD.

Note : If the time for the power to increases from 0.2V to 4.5V is greater than 0.1ms but
less than 10ms, the current cut-off will drop to 0.2V before it rises again. If it takes more
than 1ms, the LCD modular will automatically RESET. Otherwise, it has to depend on an
external software instruction to RESET (As describe below).

Initialization by Instructions:
If the power conditions for the normal operation of the internal reset circuit are not satisfied.
LCD unit must be initialized by executing a sense of the instructions. The procedure fro this
initialization process is as follows.

Instruction Description:

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

49

Nvis 5586A

When the LCD is controlled by the CPU, only the instruction register (IR) and the data
register (DR) can be read directly by the CPU. The commands from outside the modular can
decide the internal operation of LCD. These commands include the register selection (RS)
signals, read/write (R/W) signals, and data buffering signals (DB0-DB6).
Table 5 lists all the useful commands in the LCD modular and the execution time, these
commands are divided into the following group:
1.

Commands of set LCD module

2.

Commands of internal set address RAM

3.

Commands of data transfer in or out from the internal RAM

4.

Other commands

When the LCD modular is executing a command it will reject other commands. Except the
busy flag/read address counter, the internal counting period of busy flag is set to as 1. If
the CPU wants to send in other commands it will have to check the busy flag first, until it is
cleared to 0 before it send in. The explanation is as followed:
Display Clear command:
This command will put the display data into a empty space code (20H), address counter will
be cleared to 0. When executing this command, display OFF, the cursor or the character
blinking function will be moved to the most left side if it is in the set condition.
Display/Cursor Home:
The address counter will be cleared to 0, content of D.D. RAM will not be influenced; but if
the cursor or the character blinking function is in the set condition, it will be moved to the
most left side position.
Entry Mode Set:
I/D bit = 1, 1 is added in the address counter after each time it read/write a display data
RAM character code, so that the cursor or the character blinking function will move one
place to the left and vice-versa when I/D=0. The read/write (R/W) character generator also
has the same function.
S bit = 1, but each time it read/write a display data RAM code, it will move to the display
direction and move one space to the left (I/D=0) or one space to the right (I/D=1). When S=0,
the display will not move.
When data enters the character generator RAM, the display will not move.
Display ON/OFF:

All the characters and cursor move to the left

All the characters and cursor move to the right

Note:
When the display moves, the address counter will not move.
Function Set:
DL

Select data length for the interface circuit.

DL=1 -

Using the 8 bits data length.

DL=0 -

Using the 4 bits data length.

Select the display format (one or two lines)

C.G. RAM Address Set:


Address counter and character generator RAM have address which is driven by the binary 6bit. When this instruction is driven in, data can be sent into the CPU and character generator
-RAM.
D.D. RAM Address Set:
Address counter and display data RAM have addresses which are driven by the binary 7-bit.
When this instruction is driven in, data can be sent into the CPU and the display data RAM.
When N=0 (a single line display), binary code ADD between 00H and 4FH; when N=1 (a
two lines display), the binary code ADD from 00H until 27H as the first line of from 40H
until 67H as the second line.
Read Busy Flag/Address Counter:
The busy flag (BF) in LCD can be read from the CPU, using the instruction of LCD modular
is the execution of the internal instruction BF = 1 represents the busy stage (execution of the
internal instruction), it will not accept any instruction at this time until BF = 0.
Content of address counter and the busy flag will be read out at the same time, it is a 7-bit
binary, the address counter will instruct one of the addresses, either the character generator
RAM or display data RAM. This is determined by the final input address set instruction.
Send Data Into C.G. RAM/D.D. RAM:

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

51

Nvis 5586A

Data with 8-bit in length can be sent into the character generator RAM or the display data
RAM. The address of the input data is instructed by the address counter, however, the
address of address counter is influenced by the final input address set instruction.
After data input whether the address counter add 1 or minus 1 is determined by the design of
the module. It can also be designed as location movement of the display.
Read Data Out of C.G. RAM/D.D. RAM:
Character generator RAM with 8-bit in length or the display data RAM can be read by the
CPU. The read out data address is instructed by the address counter. The address counter is
instructed by the final input address set instruction.
This instruction has to be set in C.G. RAM/D.D. RAM address, once shift cursor instruction
of the C.G. RAM/D.D. RAM data is read out, no other instruction can be read out.
The address setting instruction will read the data address into address counter.
Shift cursor command will allow the previous address setting to be used again in order to
read the D.D. RAM data. The data can be read from the C.G. RAM/D.D. RAM after the
cursor shift.
After the execution of data address counter add 1 or minus 1 will be set in the LCD modular.
After the execution of data read out, the display will not shift.
The operation of this device is similarly with the operation of IBM PCs DEBUG system.
For convenience, the operation instructions will be displayed when the device is being
switched on or RESET.
This device also has memory ability to preserve data for future use. There is a memory
indicator on the display once the data being kept after Reset. The system program starts from
0000:0000 after reset, in order to check the length of the RAM, there is a byte to be inverted
and returned to the original for every 4K in length, the verifying procedure will be repeated
until none of the byte can be inverted. During this period, avoid using the RESET to prevent
the data from unable to return to the original setting. The RAM address is to be displayed by
4 positions and up to FFFFH, however, 5 positions will be used if it exceeds FFFFH.
Operating Commands:
After power ON the system, it will display as follows:

After pressing <Enter>, the operating commands will be displayed:

I Interrupt:
Three Interrupts (Effective address) can be set in for the program execution; the CPU will
continuously make a single-step subprogram for checking IP values. When the IP register
has the same value as the Interrupts address, it will enter the Interrupts subprogram. Enter
command I will interrupt the program.
Syntax:

The I key allows interruption to be shown on the screen.

Note:
1.

During interrupt setting, the address alternation register has commands like POP ES,
MOV DS, AS, etc. to execute with the next command.

2.

The program will be delayed for due to the fact that CPU has to send each command
individually into the subprogram.

3.

During the interruption, the commands GO would allow the program to execute until
the next INTERRUPT.

Sub-Program:
The 8086/8088 subprogram has both the same segment calling and the different segment
calling. The different segment calling is used towards the different. The different segment
calling is used towards the different segment of subprogram. The subprogram of this system
program has to be all in the same segment in order to call the same subprogram (the same
segment and different segment subprogram are different from RET command). For user
convenience, the system program will start from F000:F040 as the catalog section of the
subprogram. In the subprogram catalog segment, if the same segment subprogram RET is
changed to different segment subprogram RET is changed to different segment subprogram
RETF. The user can therefore choose the different segment calling from any segment to call
one of the subprogram in the catalog segment.
Another method of using system subprogram is to use the M command to move all the
programs in the system into the users segment. This allows direct access to the calling
commands in the segment. Since there are other subprogram that can be called from the
subprogram, all the programs have to be moved together in order to protect each other
address (when every subprogram is being used in the catalog, it should start moving from
F000:EA00-FF4F), it is therefore a waste of space.
The user can add new program into the empty space of catalog section.
Operation description of sub-program:
1. CALL F000:F040
The calling of the implied address will allow the subprogram address to be registered into the
SI calling if a called program is not in the catalog section.
Input Parameter
:

others depend on the needs of the subprogram calling.
Output Parameter :
Depends on the execution of subprogram.

MASM Macro-Assembler
To use MASM Software and download generated file to Trainer please follow these steps
Write program given in following format for 8086
Note:
While writing Programs for MASM Compiler add prefix Zero (0) and postfix H as shown in
figure and use label names.

; Test for 8255 EM03 to Generate Square Wave Output


In this program the output will remain high until one half the counts has been completed (for
even numbers) and go low for other half of the count. When the counter reaches terminal
count, the state of the output is changed and the whole process is repeated.
If the count is odd and the output is high the first clock pulse (after the count is loaded)
decrements the count by 1. Subsequent clock pulses decrements the clock by 2. The time out, the output goes low and the full count is reloaded. In this way if the count is odd, the
output will be high for (N+1)/2 counts and low for (N-1)/2 counts.

Program 10:
Moving the string for one memory location to other location with changed segment
address.
This program is entered on 400 memory location but with different segment address.
Here DS register is initialized to 10 and SI to 400, DI by 450, so both DI and SI
added with DS and form the actual physical address.
DS= 10H
=10000B
SI= 400H
=10000000000B
DI= 450H
=10001010000B
To form the actual physical address, segment address is shifted by 4 bit position and then
added with offset address
10H << 4
400H
Physical Address: 500H
10H<<4

Program 37:
Software triggered strobe (8253)
After the mode is set, the output will be high; when the count is loaded the counter will begin
counting. On terminal count, the output will go low for one in put clock period, and then will
go high again. If the count register is reloaded between output pulses the present period will
not be affected, but the subsequent period will reflect the new value. The count will be
inhibited while the gate input is low. Reloading the counter register will restart counting
beginning with the new number.

Program 39:
Write a program to calculate Sin (Z) where Z - is defined in degrees.
Solution: Sin (Z) is calculated using tangent function of 8087.
tan (Z/2)

then Sin (Z)

Y/X
2XY
X

The FPTAN instruction has to be given data in radians. The value of degrees is to be
converted in radian. On execution of FPTAN the result is return in Y/X format where X is
written on top of stack and Y is the next to top of stack. Further the argument must satisfy
0< argument < P1/4. This is the reason we restrict Z to satisfy 0< Z < 90.
This restriction can be eliminated, by more computation. If Z is unrestricted, then the use of
FPREM function of 8087 to reduce the argument to the required range and use the relation
Sin (P1 + Z) = -Sin Z
The above problem is solved by calculating Z/2, then converting the degrees into radians and
then calculating the tangents. The resulting values of X and Y are used for calculating Sin
(Z).
The following steps are required to implement this program.
1.

Calculating the Z/2

2.

Calculate the angle in radians.

3.

Calculate tan (Z/2) = X/Y format.

4.

Calculate Sin Z = 2XY/(X2+Y2)

5.

Get the integer value argument - 4.

The 8-bit (8-digit) binary number or code is called byte and 16-bit binary number or code
is called word.
Q8. What is a bus?
Ans. Bus is a group of conducting lines that carries data, address and control signals.
Q9. Why data bus is bi-directional?
Ans. The microprocessor has to fetch (read) the data from memory or input device for
processing and after processing, it has to store (write) the data to memory or output
device. Hence the data bus is bi-directional.
Q10. Why address bus is unidirectional?

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

181

Nvis 5586A

Ans. The address is an identification number used by the microprocessor to identify or


access a memory location or I / O device. It is an output signal from the processor. Hence
the address bus is unidirectional.
Q11. What is the function of microprocessor in a system?
Ans. The microprocessor is the master in the system, which controls all the activity of the
system. It issues address and control signals and fetches the instruction and data from
memory. Then it executes the instruction to take appropriate action.
Q12. Define machine cycle.
Ans. Machine cycle is defined as the time required to complete one operation of
accessing memory, I/O, or acknowledging an external request. This cycle may consist of
three to six T-states.

period. These subdivisions are internal states synchronized with the system clock, and
each T-State is precisely equal to one clock period.
Q14. List the components of microprocessor (single board microcomputer) based
system.
Ans. The microprocessor based system consists of microprocessor as CPU,
semiconductor memories like EPROM and RAM, input device, output device and
interfacing devices.
Q15. Why interfacing is needed for I/O devices?
Ans. Generally I/O devices are slow devices. Therefore the speed of I/O devices does not
match with the speed of microprocessor. And so an interface is provided between system
bus and I/O devices.
Q16. What does memory-mapping mean?
Ans. The memory mapping is the process of interfacing memories and peripheral to
microprocessor and allocating addresses to each device.
Q17. What is interrupt I/O?
Ans. If the I/O device initiates the data transfer through interrupt then the I/O is called
interrupt driven I/O.

Q18. What is the need for system clock?

Q20. What is a port?
Ans. The port is a buffered I/O, which is used to hold the data transmitted from the
microprocessor to I/O device or vice-versa.
Q22. Write a short note on INTEL 8255?
Ans. The INTEL 8255 is a I/O port device consisting of 3 numbers of 8 bit parallel I/O
ports. The ports can be programmed to function either as a input port or as a output port
in different operating modes. It requires 4 internal addresses and has one logic LOW chip
select pin.
Q23. What is Instruction cycle?
Ans. The sequence of operations that a processor has to carry out while executing the
instruction is called Instruction cycle. Each instruction cycle of a processor indium
consists of a number of machine cycles.
Q24. What is fetch and execute cycle?
Ans. The instruction cycle of an instruction can be divided into fetch and execute cycles.
The fetch cycle is executed to fetch the opcode from memory. The execute cycle is
executed to decode the instruction and to perform the work instructed by the instruction.
Q25. What is the need for timing diagram?
Ans. The timing diagram provides information regarding the status of various signals,
when a machine cycle is executed. The knowledge of timing diagram is essential for
system designer to select matched peripheral devices like memories, latches, ports, etc.,
to form a microprocessor system.
Q26. What is an Interrupt?
Ans. Interrupt is a signal send by an external device to the processor so as to request the
processor to perform a particular task or work.
Q27. Define opcode and operand.
Ans. Opcode (Operation code) is the part of an instruction / directive that identifies a
specific operation.
Operand is a part of an instruction / directive that represents a value on which the
instruction acts.
Q28. What is opcode fetch cycle?
Ans. The opcode fetch cycle is a machine cycle executed to fetch the opcode of an
instruction stored in memory. Every instruction starts with opcode fetch machine cycle.
Q30. Why status signals are provided in microprocessor?

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

183

Nvis 5586A

Ans. The status signals can be used by the system designer to track the internal
operations of the processor. Also, it can be used for memory expansion (by providing
separate memory banks for program & data and selecting the bank using status signals).
Q31. What is interrupt acknowledge cycle?
Ans. The interrupt acknowledge cycle is a machine cycle executed by 8085 processor to
get the address of the interrupt service routine in-order to service the interrupt device.
Q32. What is Software interrupts?
Ans. The Software interrupts are program instructions. These instructions are inserted at
desired locations in a program. While running a program, if software interrupt instruction
is encountered then the processor executes an interrupt service routine.
Q33. What is Hardware interrupt?
Ans. If an interrupt is initiated in a processor by an appropriate signal at the interrupt pin,
then the interrupt is called Hardware interrupt.
Q34. What are the modes in which 8086 can operate?

Q47. Where is the READY signal used?


Ans. READY is an input signal to the processor, used by the memory or I/O devices to
get extra time for data transfer or to introduce wait states in the bus cycles.
Q48. What are HOLD and HLDA and how it is used?
Ans. HOLD and hold acknowledge (HLDA) signals are used for the Direct Memory
Access (DMA) type of data transfer. The DMA controller places a high on HOLD pin in
order to take control of the system bus. The HOLD request is acknowledged by the 8085
by driving all its tristated pins to high impedance state and asserting HLDA signal high.
Q49. What is polling?
Ans. Polling is a scheme or an algorithm to identify the devices interrupting the
processor. Polling is employed when multiple devices interrupt the processor through one
interrupt pin of the processor.
Q50. What are the different types of Polling?
Ans. The polling can be classified into software and hardware polling. In software
polling the entire polling process is governed by a program .In hardware polling, the
hardware takes care of checking the status of interrupting devices and allowing one by
one to the processor.
Q51.What is the need for interrupt controller?
Ans. The interrupt controller is employed to expand the interrupt inputs. It can handle the
interrupt request from various devices and allow one by one to the processor.
Q52. What is a programmable peripheral device?
Ans. If the functions performed by a peripheral device can be altered or changed by a
program instruction then the peripheral device is called programmable device. Usually
the programmable devices will have control registers. The device can be programmed by
sending control word in the prescribed format to the control register.
Q53. What is synchronous data transfer scheme?
Ans. For synchronous data transfer scheme, the processor does not check the readiness of
the device after a command has been issued for read/write operation. In this scheme the
processor will request the device to get ready and then read/write to the device
immediately after the request. In some synchronous schemes a small delay is allowed
after the request.
Q54. What is asynchronous data transfer scheme?
Ans. In asynchronous data transfer scheme, first the processor sends a request to the
device for read/write operation. Then the processor keeps on polling the status of the
device. Once the device is ready, the processor executes a data transfer instruction to
complete the process.
Q55. Explain the working of a handshake output port.

Ans. In handshake output operation, the processor will load a data to port. When the port
receives the data, it will inform the output device to collect the data. Once the output
device accepts the data, the port will inform the processor that it is empty. Now the
processor can load another data to port and the above process is repeated.
Q56. What are the internal devices of 8255?
Ans. The internal devices of 8255 are port-A, port-B and port-C. The ports can be
programmed for either input or output function in different operating modes.
Q57. What is baud rate?
Ans. The baud rate is the rate at which the serial data are transmitted. Baud rate is
defined as l / (The time for a bit cell). In some systems one bit cell has one data bit, then
the baud rate and bits/sec are same.
Q58. What is USART?
Ans. The device which can be programmed to perform Synchronous or Asynchronous
serial communication is called USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter). The INTEL 8251A is an example of USART.

Q59. Give some examples of input devices to microprocessor-based system.


Ans. The input devices used in the microprocessor-based system are Keyboards, DIP
switches, ADC, Floppy disc, etc.
Q60. What is scanning in keyboard and what is scan time?
Ans. The process of sending a zero to each row of a keyboard matrix and reading the
columns for key actuation is called scanning. The scan time is the time taken by the
processor to scan all the rows one by one starting from first row and coming back to the
first row again.
Q61. What is scanning in display and what is the scan time?
Ans. In display devices, the process of sending display codes to 7 segment LEDs to
display the LEDs one by one is called scanning ( or multiplexed display). The scan time
is the time taken to display all the 7-segment LEDs one by one, starting from first LED
and coming back to the first LED again.
Q62. What are the internal devices of a typical DAC?
Ans. The internal devices of a DAC are R-2R resistive network, an internal latch and
current to voltage converting amplifier.
Q63. What is conversion time in DAC?
Ans. The time taken by the DAC to convert a given digital data to corresponding analog
signal is called conversion time.
Q64. What are the different types of ADC?

Ans. The different types of ADC are successive approximation ADC, counter type ADC
flash type ADC, integrator converters and voltage-to- frequency converters.
Q65. Define stack.
Ans. Stack is a sequence of RAM memory locations defined by the programmer.
Q66. What is program counter? How is it useful in program execution?
Ans. The program counter keeps track of program execution. To execute a program the
starting address of the program is loaded in program counter. The PC sends out an
address to fetch a byte of instruction from memory and increments its content
automatically.
Q67. How the microprocessor is synchronized with peripherals?
Ans. The timing and control unit synchronizes all the microprocessor operations with
clock and generates control signals necessary for communication between the
microprocessor and peripherals.
