The 8086 has a 20 bit address bus and a 16 bit data bus. The low order 16 bits of the address bus share the same 16 pins as the data bus. The low order 16 bits of the address are emitted in the first clock cycle of a memory access cycle. External logic is expected to latch that address. Then the bus becomes a data bus. The high order 4 bits of the address bus are handled separately.
The determination of operand size (8 bit vs 16 bit) is made by BHE and A0. If BHE is high, it is a 16 bit operand at an even address. If BHE is low and A0 is low, it is an 8 bit operand at an even address. If BHE is low and A0 is high, it is an 8 bit operand at an odd address.

Size of 8086 address bus?
The 8086/8088 has an internal 20-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus. Externally, the address bus is 20-bits, and the data bus is 16-bits for the 8086 and 8-bits for the 8088.The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20.
Role of latches in 8086 microprocessor?
for demultiplexing address/data bus
How many data lines there in 8086?
There are 16 data lines in 8086.
Which is faster- Reading word size data whose starting address is at even or at odd address of memory in 8086?
In the 8086 microprocessor, reading word-sized data is generally faster from an even address than from an odd address. This is because the 8086 architecture is designed to access memory in 16-bit (word) chunks, and even addresses allow the processor to retrieve data more efficiently, aligning with its access patterns. When a word is at an odd address, the processor must perform an additional cycle to fetch the data, resulting in slower access times.
ALE in detail 8086 microproccesor?
The ALE (Address Latch Enable) signal in the 8086 microprocessor is used to demarcate the time when the address bus is valid. It indicates that the multiplexed address/data bus (AD0-AD15) is carrying a valid address during the first part of a bus cycle. When ALE is asserted, external latches can capture and hold the address, allowing the data bus to later carry data without confusion. This functionality is crucial for enabling the proper interfacing of the 8086 with memory and peripheral devices.
What is the difference between 8086 and 8088 microprocessor?
The difference between the 8086 and the 8088 is that the 8086 has a 16 bit data bus and that the 8088 has an 8 bit data bus. Both processors are the same 16 bit processor, and both have a 20 bit address bus. The 8086 is twice as fast as the 8088 in terms of data transfer rate on the bus for the same bus clock speed.
How are the data bus and address bus are demultiplexed?
The data and address buses are multiplexed in order to save pin count on the chip. In the first clock cycle of a read or write cycle, the address is emitted on the address/data bus. The ALE signal is used to strobe the address, after which the address/data bus becomes the data bus. External logic is expected to strobe the address at the trailing edge of ALE. ALE is generated directly by the 8085, and by the 8086/8088 in minimum mode. In maximum mode in the 8086/8088, ALE is generated by the 8288 Bus Controller.
Why 4 bit address bus is grounded?
The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20 (16bits would only address 64KB of memory, an extra 4 bits allows to address the total of 1MB, this is done trough segmentation of the memory). To form a multiplexed of data bus and address bus, four bits of 8086 address bus are grounded.
Why memory is divided in even and odd banks in 8086 microprocessor?
in 8086 there is 20 bit address bus,so it can address 1,048,576 address. At each address we can store 8 bit address (1-byte)but if want to write a word(16-bit)into a memory segment to store data in byte form then we write the data in two consecutive memory address which are even(low) and odd(high) memory.
Why does microprocessor 8086 has 16 data bus and 20 address bus why aren't they equal?
The 8086 has 16 data bus lines and 20 address bus lines because that is how Intel designed it. They wanted a processor that was more powerful than the 8085, which has an 8 bit data bus and a 16 bit data bus, so they increased both bus sizes accordingly.
What is the meaning of postfixes of 8086?
It is mightily referring to Microprocessor 8086 . I think you saw "8086 microprocessor". The 8086 is nothing it indicates the number of microprocessor same as Digital or analog ic's . 8086 microprocessor has 20 Address buses and 8 data buses which has 1 Mb inbuilt memory for performing several type of airthmatical and logical operation.
How many Address line of 8085 microprocessor?
There are 20 address lines and 16 data lines in the 8086 microprocessor. The low order 16 address lines are multiplexed with the data lines. Some of the high order address lines are multiplexed with status lines.
