The code segment (CS) register is used for access to program code. The data segment (DS) register is used for access to data. The extra segment (ES) register is used for access to data during certain string primitive operations. The stack segment (SS) register is used for access to stack data.

Any of these implied uses can be overridden with a segment override prefix opcode.

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.


Give the segment registers and their corresponding offset registers?

Give the effective address if the segment register is AA03 and the offset register is 0200.


What is segment address?

A segment address is the contents of a segment register, CS, DS, ES, or SS. It is used after effective address generation to provide an offset in physical memory, by multiplying the segment register by 16 and then adding it to the effective address, giving a 20 bit address. This gives you addressability to 65536 segments of 65536 bytes, each separated by 16 bytes. The register used is usually implicit based on use; CS for code, DS for data, ES for certain string operations, and SS for stack. A segment override prefix can be used to select a different segment register.


How the Memory Management Unit converts the logical addresses to physical addresses?

In the 8086/8088, the logical address corresponds to a segment register, such as CS (Code Segment), DS (Data Segment), SS (Stack Segment) and ES (Extra Segment). The segment register is selected by context, or it is explicitly selected using a segment override prefix. The segment register is left shifted 4 bits into a 20-bit temporary register. This is the same as multiplying it by 16. Then the logical address is added to that result. The final result is the physical address.

What are the function of segment register?

The segment register in the 8086/8088 provide a base address for any memory access. There are four segment registers, CS - Code Segment, DS - Data Segment, SS - Stack Segment, and ES - Extra Segment. Each in used in the context of a particular instruction and contains the base address of the memory segment divided by 16. This allows the processor to access up to 1 MB of memory, though only in segments of 64 KB at a time.

What is the example of segment register?

There are four segment registers on the 8086 and 8088. These are CS (code for code), DS (data segment), ES (extra data segment), and SS (stack segment).


What is inter segment and intra segment jump in 8086?

In the 8086 microprocessor, an intra-segment jump refers to a jump instruction that occurs within the same segment of memory, allowing the program to branch to a different address within that segment. Conversely, an inter-segment jump involves jumping to a different segment, which requires specifying both the segment and offset addresses to access the target location. Intra-segment jumps are typically faster since they do not require segment register changes, while inter-segment jumps can introduce additional overhead due to the need for segment management.


Do all processors use the same type of register?

No, not all processors use the same type of register. Different processors may have different types of registers depending on their design and architecture.
