How many register are located in 8088microprocessor?
there are 14 registers in 8088 micro processor. All the 14 are 16 bit registers. They are4 segment registers viz - code segment register, stack segment register, data segment register, extra segment register.general registers are - accumulator register i.e. AX, base register i.e. BX, count register i.e. CX, data register i.e. DX and stack pointer (SP), base pointer (BP).index registers are - source index(SI), destination index(DI),and the other registers are instruction pointer and flags register.
What is the size of flag register?
All of the 8086/8088 registers, AX, BX, CX, DX, SP, BP, SI, DI, CS, DS, SS, ES, IP, and FLAGS, are 16 bit registers. The AX, BX, CX, and DX registers may also be viewed as 8 eight bit registers AH/AL, BH/BL, CH/CL, and DH/DL.
How many registers are there in an 8085 microprocessor?
Accumulator or A register is an 8-bit register used for arithmetic, logic, I/O and load/store operations. Flag is an 8-bit register containing 5 1-bit flags: * Sign - set if the most significant bit of the result is set. * Zero - set if the result is zero. * Auxiliary carry - set if there was a carry out from bit 3 to bit 4 of the result. * Parity - set if the parity (the number of set bits in the result) is even. * Carry - set if there was a carry during addition, or borrow during subtraction/comparison. General registers: * 8-bit B and 8-bit C registers can be used as one 16-bit BC register pair. When used as a pair the C register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use BC register as a data pointer. * 8-bit D and 8-bit E registers can be used as one 16-bit DE register pair. When used as a pair the E register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use DE register as a data pointer. * 8-bit H and 8-bit L registers can be used as one 16-bit HL register pair. When used as a pair the L register contains low-order byte. HL register usually contains a data pointer used to reference memory addresses. Stack pointer is a 16 bit register. This register is always incremented/decremented by 2. Program counter is a 16-bit register.
what type of flags in 8086 and 8088 microprocessor and their uses?
There are nine flags in the 8086/8088.SF - Sign Flag - The result is negativeZF - Zero Flag - The result is zeroAF - Auxillary Carry Flag - A BCD carry occurredPF - Parity Flag - Indicates the oddness or evenness of the number of bitsCF - Carry Flag - An unsigned carry occurredOF - Overflow Flag - A signed overflow/carry occurredDF - Direction Flag - Controls the direction of repeated string operationsIF - Interrupt Flag - Enables or disables interruptsTF - Trace Flag - Controls the debug single step interruptIn general, most of these flags are set as a result of some arithmetic or logical instruction and can be tested using the conditional branch instructions. Exceptions are DF, which controls the directionality of repeated string operations, IF, which controls interrupts, and TF, which controls debugging.

When does the overflow flag in 8086 set?
In the 8086/8088, the overflow flag is set when the result of an arithmetic instruction exceeds the bounds of the signed representation of a number. This is not the same as the carry flag, which is used for the unsigned representation. Both flags get set as needed. You decide which one to pay attention to.
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.
What are the disadvantages of processor regiser in the CPU CPU?
The word CPU is repeated in the question, and the category, 8086/8088, does not fit a category where there is a specific processor register. Please restate the question, and give more details, and/or the name of the register.
What is physical address in 8086 microprocessor?
Physical address in the 8086/8088 is {Selected Segment Register} * 16 + {Effective Offset Address}. It is a 20-bit address .
How much ram could the 8088-processor access?
8088 processor accessed 1MB
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).
What was the first IBM PC processor?
The Intel 8088.
