Why CMPS instruction is used in 8086 programming?
The CMPS instruction in the 8086/8088 is compare string. It iterates until CX is zero, or [DS:SI] is not equal to [ES:DI], incrementing (or decrementing if DF is set) SI and DI, and decrementing CX along the way.
What is the contents of the stack pointer after the execution of the call instruction?
On a near call, the stack pointer is 2 less than its original value. On a far call, it is 4 less.
What is the SP pointing register's default memory segment?
The default segment for SP (Stack Pointer) relative memory accesses in the 8086/8088 is SS (Stack Segment).
Explain the function of BIU and EU in 8086?
biu stands for bus interface unit and eu stands for execution unit. In 8086 microprocessor BIU fetches the instructions and places in the queue. The Eu executes the fetched instruction and places the result in the registers
Difference between program counter and instruction pointer?
There isn't any difference. Two different words forexactly same thing. Third way to call it is instruction address register.
What is the need of Instruction PointerIP in 8086 microprocessor?
The Instruction Pointer (IP) in an 8086 microprocessor contains the address of the next instruction to be executed. The processor uses IP to request memory data from the Bus Interface Unit, and then increments it by the size of the instruction.
What is the function of the PC register in the 8086 CPU?
There is no PC register in the 8086/8088. It is called the IP register by Intel and it stands for the Instruction Pointer. It contains the address of the current/next instruction to be executed.
Purpose of program counter in a microprocessor is?
In 8085 program counter stores the address of the next instruction which is to be fecthed.same function is performed by instruction pointer in 8086.
Which register in 8086 contains the address of the next instruction to be fetched?
program counter holds the address of the next instruction.
What is the size of the instruction queue in 8086?
In 8086 the instruction queue is 6 byte long. This is because even the longest 8086 instruction is 6 byte long. Thus it is possible to prefetch even the longest instruction in the instruction set.
What is the difference between instruction registers and instruction pointer?
instruction register is used to store the next instruction to be executed. instruction pointer is used to store the address of the next instruction to be executed.
What is the last instruction of ISR in 8086?
IRET
Draw the functional block diagram of 8086 microprocessor and explain?
8086 has two blocks Bus Interfacing Unit(BIU) and Execution Unit(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 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, Address adder.EU contains Control circuitry, Instruction decoder, ALU, Pointer and Index register,Flag register.
What is size of instruction queue of 8086?
6 bytes
What is the length of the instruction queue in 8086?
6 bytes
Why Intel kept the name 8086?
in 8086, there is instruction queue of 6 byte. It is one of the reason behind giving name. 8086 was introducing pipeline architecture.
Is lea SI1234h valid 8086 microprocessor instruction?
Yes.
