Minimum mode in the 8086/8088 provides the functionality of the 8288 bus controller, which means that functions like HOLD, HLDA, WR-, M/IO-, DT/R-, DEN-, ALE, and INTA- come off of the 8086/8088.
Maximum mode means that these functions come off of the 8288, in somewhat enhanced form, and the pins are replaced with new meanings like RQ-/GT0-, RG-/GT1-, LOCK-, S2-, S1-, S0-, QS2, and S21, giving the processor extra capabilities.
Minimum mode in the 8086/8088 is where the MN/MX- pin is high.
In minimum mode, the processor provides the functionality of the 8288 bus controller, at the cost of losing some pins. The pins ALE, DT/R-, DEN-, INTA-, M/IO-, RD-, and WR- come off the processor in minimum mode, minimizing the amount of external logic required to build a small system.
In maximum mode, MN/MX- being low, you need to provide an 8288 bus controller to provide a decoded state of these pins. This frees up some of the processor's pins, making room for new functionality, such as RQ0-/GT0-, RQ1-/GT1-, LOCK-, QS0-, and QS1-. This functionality is appropriate for larger systems.
The 8251 is a USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter). It does not have a minimum and maximum mode.

minimum mode and maximum mode
The MN/MX- ping on the 8086 is pin 33.
the median is when you put all the numbers in order from least to greatest and find the middle one the mode is the number that occurs most often and the range is the difference between the minimum and the maximum
The range of a single number is 0.The mode, median, maximum and minimum of a single number is the number.
Range = 0Mode = 3 Median = 3 Maximum = 3 Minimum = 3
*minimum mode *maximum mde
Range: maximum number minus the minimum number Mode: The number that occurs the most Median: the middle number
The two modes of the 8086/8088, minimum mode and maximum mode, have nothing to do with segment arrangement. The modes determine which pins on the chip have which functions. In minimum mode, certain pins are sacrificed in favor of a smaller implementation. In maximum mode, those pins take on other functions, and the original functions are generated by the Bus Controller chip.
The minimum and maximum are the same. The mean, median, and mode can be different.
1:in min mode mn/mx- is connected to vcc .here now mn will be one AND IN MIN MODE ONLY ONE PROCESSOR IS PRESENT WITHOUT ANY CO PROCESSOR . 2: in max mode mn/mx- is cnnected to ground now the mx will become 1. AND IN MAX MODE MANY PROCESSORS ARE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER WITHOUT ANY CO PROCESSOR EX FOR COPROCESSOR IS 8284 1:in min mode mn/mx- is connected to vcc .here now mn will be one AND IN MIN MODE ONLY ONE PROCESSOR IS PRESENT WITHOUT ANY CO PROCESSOR . 2: in max mode mn/mx- is cnnected to ground now the mx will become 1.
