What IC 80386 is?

The 80386 was a third generation version of the 8086/8088 microprocessor. The second generation was the 80286, adding protected mode. The 80386 added 32 bit mode, virtual 8086 mode, and flat 32 bit protected mode.The 80386 fixed the problem of the 80286 where existing object code was not compatible in protected mode because the meaning of the segment registers changed. The 80386 allowed the operating system to run in protected mode while presenting the process with a virtual 8086 environment where the segment registers worked as before. This was a stop-gap measure that worked until the full implementation of a true 32 bit flat memory model operating system and software.


What is the difference between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor regarding there pin diagram?

The differences are given below: 80286 1. Low data bus width (16 bit) 2. Returning from protected mode to real mode is hard and complicated. 3. Small RAM/Memory 80386 1. High data bus width (32 bit) 2. Easy for 80386 3. Big RAM / Memory (Real memory = 4GB and virtual memory= 64TB)


How do you switch from real mode to protected mode in 80386?

To switch from real mode to protected mode in the 80386, set the PE bit in the MSW in CR0, and then immediately execute a JMP to flush the prefetch queue.


Difference between 8086801868028680386 microprocessors?

8086 is a 16 bit processor and 80186,80286,80386,80486.Pentium etc are advanced microprocessors with certain additional features like virtual memory,memory management,protection features etc.Also their operating speed,memory capacity etc varies.They will operate in real mode where its like 8086 and virtual mode in which protection features are enabled


What are the modes of 8086?

minimum mode and maximum mode


Which pin of 8086 will diffrenciate between minimum mode and maximum mode?

The MN/MX- ping on the 8086 is pin 33.


What type of microprocessor is 8086?

Its 16bit microprocessor,and-> the 8086 has a 16bit databus 20bit address bus-> the intel 8086,is designed to operate in two modes namely(1) minimum mode(2) maximum mode


What is MR-DC in 8086?

Its MRDC (memory read control) it is a maximum mode pin in 8086 microprocessor


Explain the real mode in 8086?

Real mode is a term that was introduced for the 80286 and higher processors. It represents the default (power on) mode of an 80286 or higher processor, as opposed to one of the various protected modes. Real mode does not apply specifically to the 8086/8088. In the 80286 and above, real mode operates very much like the 8086/8088.


How many operating modes does 8086 have?

*minimum mode *maximum mde


What is meant by effective address in microprocessor?

Effective address is the final address generated by offsetting and indexing which is sent to the virtual translation logic. It is the address of the operand in the virtual address space of the process, but not necessarily the address of the operand in the physical address space of the computer. In the 8085, efffective/virtual address is the same as physical address, because there is no virtual addressing logic in the 8085. In the 8086/8088, effective/virtual address is the same as physical address, but only in real mode. For example, in the 8086/8088, if the EBX register contains 1000000H, then the instruction MOV EAX,[EBX+1234H] has an effective address of 10001234H.


What is minimum mode configuration?

A minimum mode configuration is a 8086 system. It is operated in minimum mode by strapping its MN/MX pin to logic 1. Minimum mode has a single multiprocessor.
