A code that leaves a spare bit to indicate that if that bit is set, consider this byte and the next byte to be defining the entire code.
In the 8085 microprocessor, the opcode fetch machine cycle is not sufficient on its own for executing the MOV MA instruction. While the opcode fetch cycle is responsible for retrieving the instruction from memory, additional machine cycles are required to perform the data transfer or execution of the instruction. Specifically, the MOV MA instruction involves both an opcode fetch cycle and a memory access cycle to complete the operation. Therefore, multiple machine cycles are necessary for executing this instruction effectively.
an opcode (operation code) is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed. Their specification and format are laid out in the instruction set architecture of the processor in question (which may be a general CPU or a more specialized processing unit). Apart from the opcode itself, an instruction normally also has one or more specifiers foroperands (i.e. data) on which the operation should act, although some operations may have implicit operands, or none at all. There are instruction sets with nearly uniform fields for opcode and operand specifiers, as well as others (the x86architecture for instance) with a more complicated, varied length structure.by: HerLoyd
I believe that it is expanding due to the fact that it is harder to trace hackers over long distances and when they bounce their program over several servers across the globe.

Symbols to represent instructions Each instruction (opcode) is given some mnemonic name Various addressing modes might select different opcodes for same mnemonic Symbols to represent labels and variables The addresses where variables are stored can be named Addresses in the code can be labelled
An opcode is an instruction. An operand is information used by the opcode. Not all opcodes require operands.
The microprocessor uses an opcode fetch cycle for every instruction because it has to know the opcode in order to execute it, and that is located in memory.
3 for opcode fetch, 1 for opcode decode, 3 for operand fetch, and 3 for opcode store, for a total of 10, not including wait states.
Hi, The equation to find the number of instructions with n-bit opcode is 2^n. If your opcode is n=4, the it's 2^4 which is 16. So with a four bit opcode you can have 16 different instructions. ---- 11 levels
The process of transferring instruction codes from memory location to instruction queue register is called opcode fetch.
mov H , L mov is opcode H L are operands
The instruction opcode is a type of data contained in memory, pointed to by the PC (Program Counter) register.

IP is incremented after fetch of instruction opcode. Specifically, IP is incremented by the number of opcode bytes.
Each mnemonic maps directly to a machine instruction code, known as an opcode. Some mnemonics map to more than one opcode, however the instruction's operand types will determine which specific opcode will be generated.
The 8086 microprocessor differentiates between an opcode and an operand primarily through the instruction format, where the opcode is always specified first, followed by the operands. The opcode indicates the operation to be performed, while the operands represent the data or addresses on which the operation will act. The instruction's length is variable, and the processor uses specific bits in the instruction to determine the types and sizes of operands, allowing it to interpret the instruction correctly. Additionally, the opcode itself can include information about the addressing mode, further aiding in the distinction between opcodes and operands.
As far as the bus interface is concerned, there is no real difference between data and instructions. Except for the S0 pin, an opcode fetch will look the same as a memory read. There is one extra clock cycle following an opcode fetch, which is used by the CPU to decode and process the opcode, but the bus does not care because there is no sequence initiation with ALE.
