Programmer's Model of 8086
2.3 Programmer’s Model of 8086 * The true programmer's model of any processor shows its internal registers, number of address lines, number of data lines, memory map & port addresses which we need to write programs. * However, memory map & port addresses are depend on the system configuration. * So usually internal registers, number of address lines & number of data lines are shown in the programmer's model of the processor. * The basic programming model consists of the following aspects: * Registers * Instruction Set * Addressing Modes * Data Types * Memory Organization * Interrupts and Exceptions * The Fig.1 shows the programmer's model of 8086 microprocessor.

* 8086 microprocessor includes: * Fourteen 16-bit registers. * Four data registers, AX, BX, CX, DX * The status register, SR, with nine of its bits implemented for status and control flags. * The instruction pointer, IP * Two pointer registers, BP, SP ?? * Two index registers, SI, DI ?? * Four segment registers, CS, DS, SS, ES * The memory address space is 1 Mbytes and the I/O address space is 64 Kbytes in length.

* Register Organization of 8086 microprocessor: a) General Purpose Registers i) The 8086 has 4 16-bit general purpose registers labelled AX, BX, CX & DX. Each 16-bit general purpose register can be split into two 8-bit registers. The letters L & H specify the lower & higher bytes of a particular register. The letter X is used to specify the complete 16-bit register. ii) General purpose registers are either used for holding data, variables & intermediate results temporarily. They can also be used as counters or for storing offset address. iii) Refer Fig. 2(a).

b) Segment Registers iv) The 1Mb of memory is dividen into segments, with a max size of segment as 64Kb. 8086 allows only four

    Access control is typically achieved by reserving a collection of bits within the general “Flag Register” to indicate the current “access control level”. Certain instructions are restricted so that they are only legal if the “access control level” is at least some minimum value; otherwise the instruction generates an “illegal operation” interrupt.…

    The list of machine instructions that a typical CPU must be able to decode and execute is quite short. In fact, once a machine can perform certain elementary but well-chosen tasks, adding more features do not increase the machine’s theoretical capabilities. In other words, at a certain point, additional features may increase such things as convenience but add nothing to the machine’s fundamental capabilities. The degree to which machine designs should take advantage of this fact has lead two philosophies of CPU architecture.…

    In addition, assembly language allows programmers to utilize symbolic addresses to replace numeric memory addresses in binary bits to execute a command or input data. Computer specialist can link symbolic labels to an instruction or piece of data in the program. In other words, the symbolic label turns into a permanent tag for the instruction or piece of data disregarding where it populates in the program or where it relocates in the memory. However, machine language is more complicated. To perform an instruction or input data in the memory in a specific location, the computer specialist must specify the direct address. For example, “In machine language, to jump to the instruction stored in memory location 18, you must specify directly to address 18 (write JUMP…
