  2. What is Microcomputer? Interface Circuitry Central Processing Unit BUS Interface Unit Execution Unit Control Unit Basic Blocks of a microcomputer

  3. Von-Neumann Concept/Model

  4. Von-Neumann cycle • The Von-Neumann concept is the basic concept for universal microprocessors. The ix86 architecture is based on that concept.  • It means a stored-program computer in which an instruction fetch and a data operation cannot occur at the same time because they share a common bus. • It comprises a Control unit, an Execution unit, Memory, I/O unit • Instructions are treated in 5 cycles – (1) Fetch, (2) Decode, (3) Fetch Operands, (4) Execute, and (5) Update instruction Counter

  5. Simplified Block Diagram of CPU

  6. Registers • General Purpose Registers • AX, BX, CX, DX • Base Pointer (BP), Stack Pointer (SP) • Source Index (SI), Destination Index (DI) • Segment Registers • Code Segment (CS), Data Segment (DS), Stack Segment (SS), Extra Segment (ES) • Status Flag Register (FLAGs) • Instruction Pointer (IP)

  7. Registers 16 bit Segment registers

  8. Decimal, Binary and Hexadecimal Numbers • 23910= 11 1101 01112 = 3D716 • 239d = 1111010111b = 3D7h (d,b,h upper or lower case) • If no suffix is given, decimal is assumed • If a hexadecimal starts with a letter, an extra zero must be put in the beginning • Signed Numbers – 2’s complements form

  9. Example Data • If AX = 20A2H then AH = 20H, AL = A2H • In other words, if AH = 1CH and AL = A2H then AX = 1CA2H AH AL 0010 0000 1010 0010 AX

  10. The FLAGS register • FLAGS indicate the condition of the MP • Also control the operations • FLAGS are upward compatible from 8086/8088 to Pentium/Pentium Pro Figure 2.2: The EFLAG and FLAG registers

  11. The FLAGs • Carry Flag – C • C = 1 if there is a carry out from the msb on addition • Or, there is a borrow into the msb on subtraction • Otherwise C = 0 • C flag is also affected by shift and rotate instructions 10101010 11101010 111010100 C = 1, in this case

  12. The FLAGs • Parity Flag – P • P = 1 for even parity, if number contains even number of ones • P = 0 for odd parity, if odd number of ones 10101010 10101011 Even number of ones Odd number of ones P = 0 P = 1 Definition changes from microprocessor to microprocessor

  13. The FLAGs • Zero Flag – Z • Z = 1 for zero result • Z = 0 for non-zero result • Sign Flag – S • S = 1 if MSB of a result is 1, means negative number • S = 0 if MSB of a result is 0, means positive number

  14. The FLAGs • Trap Flag – T • Enables trapping through an on-chip debugging feature • T = 1 MP interrupts the flow of a program, i.e. debug mode is enabled • T = 0 debug mode is disabled • Direction Flag – D • Selects increment/decrement mode of SI and/or DI registers during string instructions • D = 1, decrement mode, STD(set direction) instruction used • D = 0, increment mode, CLD(clear direction) instruction used

  15. The FLAGs • Overflow Flag – O • O = 1 if signed overflow occurred • O = 0 otherwise • Overflow is associated with the fact of range of numbers represented in a computer • 8 bit unsigned number range (0 to 255) • 8 bit signed number range (-128 to 127) • 16 bit unsigned number range (0 to 65535) • 16 bit signed number range (-32768 to 32767)

  16. Signed vs. Unsigned Overflow • Let, AX = FFFFh, BX = 0001h and execute • ADD AX, BX 1111 1111 1111 1111 + 0000 0000 0000 0001 1 0000 0000 0000 0000 AX BX • Unsigned interpretation • Correct answer is 10000h = 65536 • But this is out of range. • 1 is carried out of MSB, AX = 0000h, which is wrong • Unsigned overflow occurred • Signed interpretation • FFFFh = -1, 0001h = 1, summation is -1+1 = 0 • Signed overflow did not occur

  17. How instructions affect the flags? • Every time the processor executes a instruction, the flags are altered to reflect the result • Let us take the following flags and instructions • None • All • All except C • All (C = 1 unless result is 0, O = 1, 80H, or 8000H) • Sign Flag – S • Parity Flag – P • Zero Flag – Z • Carry Flag – C • MOV/XCHG • ADD/SUB • INC/DEC • NEG

  18. Example 1 • Let AX = FFFFh, BX = FFFFh and execute ADD AX, BX FFFFh + FFFFh 1 FFFEh The result stored in AX is FFFEh = 1111 1111 1111 1110 S P Z C • = 1 because the MSB is 1 • = 0 because the are 15 of 1 bits, odd parity • = 0 because the result is non-zero • = 1 because there is a carry out of the MSB on addition

  19. Example 2 • Let AX = 8000h, BX = 0001h and execute SUB AX, BX 8000h - 0001h 7FFFh The result stored in AX is 7FFFh = 0111 1111 1111 1111 S P Z C • = 0 because the MSB is 0 • = 0 because the are 15 of 1 bits, odd parity • = 0 because the result is non-zero • = 0 because there is no carry

  23. Assembly Language Structure

  24. An Assembly Program • SMALL model allows one data segment and one code segment • TINY model directs the assembler to assemble the program into a single segment • DB for Define Byte (one single byte) • DW for Define Word (two consecutive bytes) 10h 00h AAh AAh 00h 00h DATA1 DATA2 DATA3 DATA4
