Registers • (16-bit) registers: • Data reg. – to hold data for an op. • Address reg – to hold addr of an instruction or data • Status reg / FLAGS reg
1. Data reg - 4 • AX • BX • CX • DX High byte – H Low byte – L AX AH + AL
AX – Accumulator reg • Preferred reg to use in arith/logic/data transfer instructions • Multiplication or Division ops. one of the nos. must be in AX or AL • I/O operations also require the use of AX/AL
BX – Base reg • It also serves as an Address reg.
CX - Count reg • Loop counter • REP – repeat [in string operations] • CL as a count in instructions that shift and rotate bits
DX – data reg • Used in MUX and Division • Used in I/O ops.
Registers • (16-bit) registers: • Data reg. – to hold data for an op. • Address reg – to hold addr of an instruction or data • Status reg / FLAGS reg
2. Address reg. a. Segment reg CS, DS, SS, ES b. Pointer & index reg Si, DI, SP, BP, IP
a. Segment regs. – 4 • Each memory byte has an address • 8086 proc assigns a 20-bit physical address to its memory locations • It is possible to address 220 = 1,048,576 = 1 MB of memory • 1st byte’s address: 0000 00000000 00000000 • 2nd byte’s address: 0000 00000000 00000001 • 3rd0000 00000000 00000010 …
In HEX • 00000 • 00001 • 00002 . . . • FFFFFh
16-bit processor! 20-bit address!! Q. Where lies the problem?? • 20-bit addresses are bigger to fit in a 16-bit reg or memory word.
টুকরা টুকরা Memory Segment • Partioning memory into segments • A memory segment is a block of 216 or 64K consecutive memory bytes • Segment number – for each segment • Q: How many bits for a segment number? 16 bits! – as each block has byte of 216
Segment: Offset address • Within a segment, a memory location is specified by giving an offset. Memory location Segment no. + Offset Segment:Offset Logical Address
A4FB:4827h • offset 4827, within segment A4FB Q: How to get 20-bit physical address? • Shift the segment address 4 bits to the left (eqv. to multiplying by 10h) • Add the offset So, the Physical Address for A4FB:4827h ???
Logical Address: A4FB:4827h A 4 F B 0 + 4 8 2 7 A 9 8 2 2h Physical Address 20-bit Physical Address 16-bit Segment [after shifting] + 16-bit Offset
CS, DS, SS, ES Machine lang. - instruction [code] - data - stack [data structure – used by the proc to implement procedure/function calls] These are loaded into different memory segments, • Code segment - CS • Data segment - DS • Stack segment - SS
ES – extra segment reg • If a prog needs to access a second data segment, use the ES register! • At any time – only 4 mem locations addressed by the 4 segment reg [C/D/S/E] are accessible Q: How many memory segments can remain active at a time? only 4 memory segments are active
Registers • (16-bit) registers: • Data reg. – to hold data for an op. • Address reg – to hold addr of an instruction or data • Status reg / FLAGS reg
2. Address reg. a. Segment reg CS, DS, SS, ES b. Pointer & index reg SI, DI, SP, BP, IP
b. Pointer & Index reg. • Stack pointer – SP – with SS [??] to access the stack segment • Base pointer – BP – mainly to access data on the stack. Also to access data in other segments. • Source index – SI – to point to memory locations in the data segment addressed by DS [??] • Destination index – DI same as SI – but for instructions of string operations – to access memory locations – addressed by ES [??]
Instruction pointer [IP] reg. Q: Which registers so far are for data access or to access instructions? • All above are for data access! • CS [Code segment – under Segment reg.] contains segment no. of the next instruction. • IP contains the offset
IP is updated each time an instruction is executed – so that it will point to the next instruction. Q: Can IP reg be directly manipulated by an instruction? Unlike other registers - NO!
Registers • (16-bit) registers: • Data reg. – to hold data for an op. • Address reg – to hold addr of an instruction or data • Status reg / FLAGS reg
3. Status Reg./FLAGS reg. • To indicate the status of the mP. • 1 flag == 1 bit • Y/N • 9 active bits – out of ?? Bits? Q: Types of flags? Some names? • Status flags – Zero flag, Carry flag, sign flag, parity, auxiliary flag and overflow flag • Control flags – interrupt flag, trap flag, direction flag
