What is memory interfacing in 8086 microprocessor?

The 8086/8088 is a 16 bit computer running on a 20 bit address bus. Processes use a segmented memory architecture to access one of four 64kb memory segments from a physical space of 1mb.


How the speed of 8086 microprocessor can be increased?

To increase the speed of the 8086, you need to increase the clock speed, reduce the number of wait states, or both. You could also optimize your code so that it runs faster. Since the 8086 is a segmented memory architecture, it is more efficient to use operands in one segment and to make near references to them.


Why memory to memory acess is not possible in 8086 micro processor?

Memory to memory access is certainly possible in the 8086/8088 microprocessor. Look at the repeated string copy instructions.


What is the highest memory address?

The highest memory address in the 8086/8088 is FFFFFH.


What is MR-DC in 8086?

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


Why is the 8086 memory set up as 2 byte wide banks?

Because the 8086 is a 16 bit processor. Memory is organized as 512 MW of memory, or 1024 MB of memory.


Does 8086 has memory?

8086 does not have RAM or ROM inside it. However, it has internal registers for storing intermediate and final results.


Why implement 8086 processor to 8087 processor?

The 8086/8088 is the general purpose processor. The 8087 is the math co-processor for the 8086/8088.


How many memory address does this number of address lines allow the 8086 to access directly?

The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.

The 8086/8088 has 20 address lines. It can access 220, or 1MB, or 1,048,576 bytes of memory.


What is the size of each memory segment of 8086 is?

The 8086 was only capable of addressing 1Mbyte of memory. It was divided into segments of 65536 bytes (64 KB) each meaning about 16 segments.


Can both operand 1 and operand 2 be memory in 8086?

Yes, both operand 1 and operand 2 can be in memory in the 8086. An example is the string copy primative, which takes source and destination operands to be memory pointed to by DS and ES.
