  2. Agenda • The 8086 Registers • The 8086 Memory Addressing • The 8086 Memory Organization

  3. The 8086 Registers • Data Registers: • The data group consists of the AX, BX, CX & DX registers. • Each one of these registers is 16-bit wide, but can be accessed as a byte or a word. Figure 1: Data Registers

  4. The 8086 Registers • Pointer & Index Registers: • The registers in this group are all 16-bits wide. • They can not be accessed as a low or high byte. • They are used as memory pointers. • Register IP can not be accessed by the programmer and has only one function that is to point to the nextinstruction to be fetched by the CPU Figure 2: Pointer and index registers.

  5. The 8086 Registers • Example 1: Referring to the next Fig 3, if SI=1000H, what is the contents of register AH after executing the instruction MOV AH, [SI]? Figure 3: Memory map of Example 1

  6. The 8086 Registers • Example 1: Referring to the next Fig 3, if SI=1000H, what is the contents of register AH after executing the instruction MOV AH, [SI]? • AH = 26H Figure 3: Memory map of Example 1

  7. The 8086 Registers • Status & Control Flags: • It is a 16-bit register • Six of the flags are statusindicatorsreflecting the properties of the result of the last arithmetic or logical instruction. • The 8086 has several instructions that can be used to transfer program control based on the state of these flags, e.g. JNZ (jump on not zero), JZ (jump on zero). • Three of the flags can be set or reset directly by the programmer: TF(trap flag), IF(interrupt flag), and DF(direction flag).

  9. The 8086 Registers • Example 2: If the register AL=7FH and the instruction ADD AL, 1 is executed, what will be the content of the AL register? What will be the values of the status flags?

  10. The 8086 Registers • Example 2: If the register AL=7FH and the instruction ADD AL, 1 is executed, what will be the content of the AL register? What will be the values of the status flags?

  11. The 8086 Registers • Segment Registers: • These registers are used by the CPU to determine the memory segment addresses. • The function of these registers will be explained when discussing the memory addressing. Figure 5: Segment registers.

  12. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Memory Space: • The 8086 processor has 20-bit address bus. • This allows the processor to address 220or 1,048,576different memory locations (1MB). • Memory Addressing: • the memory space is divided into segments and • the CPU is limited to accessing program instructions and data only from these segments. Figure 6: The 8086 memory space.

  13. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Memory Segments & Segment Registers: • Within the 1MB memory space, the 8086 defines four memory blocks each of size 64K • Code Segment:holds the program instruction codes • Data Segment: stores data for the program • Extra Segment:holds extra data (e.g. shared data). • Stack Segment: used to store interrupt and subroutine return addresses. • The four segment registers (CS, DS, ES, and SS) are used to point to the beginning of each segment (i.e., location 0 or the base address) as shown in Fig 7. • The four segments need not be defined separately (i.e. they can overlap) as shown in Fig.8.

  14. Figure 7: The 8086 memory segments.

  15. Figure 8: Overlapping of the 8086 memory segments.

  16. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Segments and Offsets : • A combination of a segment address and an offset address accesses a memory location. • All memory addresses must consist of a segment address plus an offset address. • The segment address, located within one of the segment registers, defines the beginning address of any 64K-byte memory segment. • The offsetaddress selects any location within the 64Kbyte memory segment. • All memory segments have a length of 64K bytes.

  17. Figure 9: The 8086 memory-addressing, using a segment address plus an offset.

  18. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Segments and Offsets : • Fig 9 shows how the segment plus offset addressing scheme selects a memory location. • This illustration shows a memory segment that begins at location 10000H and ends at location 1FFFFH (64K bytes in length). • It also shows how an offset address, sometimes called a displacement, of F000H selects location 1F000H in the memory system. • Note that the offset or displacement is the distance above the start of the segment, as shown in Fig 9. • The segment register contains 1000H, yet it addresses a starting segment at location 10000H.

  19. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Segments and Offsets : • Note that Each segment registers is only 16 bits wide. • However, the CPU must generate a 20-bit memory address to access a location within the first 1M of memory. • It takes care of this by appending four 0’s (0H)to the low order bits of the segment register (multiplies the segment register contents by 16). • This forms a 20-bit memory address, allowing it to access the start of a segment. • For example, when a segment register contains 1200H, it addresses a 64K-byte memory segment beginning at location 12000H. • Likewise, if a segment register contains 1201H, it addresses a memory segment beginning at location 12010H. • Because of the internally appended 0H, memory segments can begin only at a 16-byte boundary(called a paragraph) in the memory system.

  20. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Segments and Offsets : • Once the beginning address is known, the endingaddress is found by adding FFFFH (64K). • For example, if a segment register contains 3000H, the first address of the segment is 30000H, and the last address is or 3FFFFH. • The following table shows several examples of segment register contents and the starting and ending addresses of the memory segments selected by each segment address.

  21. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Segments and Offsets : • The offset address, which is a part of the address, is added to the start of the segment to address a memory location within the memory segment. • For example, if the segment address is 1000H and the offset address is 2000H, the microprocessor addresses memory location 12000H. • The offset address is always added to the starting address of the segment to locate the data. • The segment and offset address is sometimes written as 1000:2000 for a segment address of 1000H with an offset of 2000H.

  22. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Default Segment and Offset Registers: • The 8086 has a set of rules that apply to segments whenever memory is addressed. • These rules, define the segment register and offset register combination. • For example, the codesegmentregister (CS) is always used with the instructionpointer (IP) to address the next instruction in a program. • The code segment register defines the start of the codesegment and the instructionpointer locates the nextinstruction within the code segment. • This combination (CS:IP) locates the next instruction executed by the CPU. • For example, if CS=1400H and IP=1200H , the microprocessor fetches its next instruction from memory location or 15200H.

  23. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Default Segment and Offset Registers: • Another default combinations is the stack. • Stack data are referenced through the stacksegment register (SS) at the memory location addressed by either the stackpointer (SP) or the pointer (BP). • These combinations are referred to as SS:SP or SS:BP. • For example, SS=2000H and BP=3000H , the CPU addresses memory location 23000H for the stack segment memory location. • Other defaults of segment and offset combinations are shown in the following table.

  24. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Logical and Physical Addresses: • Addresses within a segment can range from address 0 to address FFFFH. • This corresponds to the 64K length of the segment. • An address within a segment is called an offset, or logical, address. • For example, logical address0005H in a code segment (CS=B3FFH) actually corresponds to the real addressB3FF0H + 5 = B3FF5H. • This "real" address is called the physical address. • The physical address is 20 bits long and corresponds to the actual binary code output by the CPU on the address bus lines • The logical address is an offset from location 0 of a given segment.

  25. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Example 3: Calculate the beginning and ending addresses for the data segment, assuming register DS=E000H.

  26. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Example 3: Calculate the beginning and ending addresses for the data segment, assuming register DS=E000H. • Starting Address = E0000H • Ending Address = E0000 + 0FFFF = EFFFFH

  27. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Example 4: Calculate the physical address corresponding to logical address D470H in the extra segment. Repeat for logical address 2D90H in the stack segment. Assume the segment Definitions ES= 52B9H and SS= 5D27H.

  28. The 8086 Memory Addressing • Example 4: Calculate the physical address corresponding to logical address D470H in the extra segment. Repeat for logical address 2D90H in the stack segment. Assume the segment Definitions ES= 52B9H and SS= 5D27H. • Calculating the Physical Address of D470H • Physical Address = 52B90 + 0D470 = 60000H • Calculating the Physical Address of 2D90H • Physical Address = 5D270 + 2D90 = 60000H

  29. The 8086 Memory Organization • The memory is organized as two banks (EvenBankandOddBank) • This allows the processor to access oneword(twobytes) through its 16-bit data bus. Figure 9: The 8086 memory banks.
