 Some instructions do not have operands, or have only one operand
 Opcode tells what operation is to be performed.
(EU control logic generates ALU control signals according to Opcode)
 Mode indicates the type of a instruction: Register type, or Memory type
 Operands tell what data should be used in the operation. Operands can
be addresses telling where to get data (or where to store results)

EU Operation
1. Fetch an instruction from instruction
queue
2. According to the instruction, EU control
logic generates control signals.

Memory Segmentation
 A segment is a 64KB block of memory starting from any 16-byte
boundary
 For example: 00000, 00010, 00020, 20000, 8CE90, and E0840 are all valid
segment addresses
 The requirement of starting from 16-byte boundary is due to the 4-bit
left shifting

MOV AL, 0
12352
 Update IP
— After an instruction is fetched, Register IP is updated as follows:
IP = IP + Length of the fetched instruction
— For Example: the length of MOV AL, 0 is 2 bytes. After fetching this instruction,
the IP is updated to 0014
Microprocessor System Design

Accessing Data Memory
 There is a number of methods to generate the memory address when
accessing data memory. These methods are referred to as
Addressing Modes

Reserved Memory Locations
 Some memory locations are reserved for special purposes.
Programs should not be loaded in these areas
FFFFF
 Locations from FFFF0H to FFFFFH
are used for system reset code
 Locations from 00000H to 003FFH
are used for the interrupt pointer table

Interrupts
 An interrupt is an event that occurs while the processor is executing a program
 The interrupt temporarily suspends execution of the program and switch the
processor to executing a special routine (interrupt service routine)
 When the execution of interrupt service routine is complete, the processor
resumes the execution of the original program
 Interrupt classification
Hardware Interrupts
 Caused by activating the processor’s
interrupt control signals (NMI,
INTR)
Software Interrupts
 Caused by the execution of an INT
instruction
 Caused by an event which is
generated
by the execution of a program, such
as division by zero
 8088 can have 256 interrupts
Microprocessor System Design
3-32
Minimum and Maximum Operation modes
 Intel 8088 (8086) has two operation modes:
Minimum Mode
Maximum Mode
 8088 generates control signals
for memory and I/O operations

It needs 8288 bus controller to generate
control signals for memory and I/O
operations
 Some functions are not available
in minimum mode

It allows the use of 8087 coprocessor;
it also provides other functions
 Compatible with 8085-based
systems
