Basic Configurations: Read Write Timing Diagram

The 8086 processor uses a time-multiplexed address and data bus to maximize pin usage. All processor bus cycles consist of at least four clock cycles where the address is transmitted during the first cycle and separated from subsequent data by the address latch enable pulse. The document discusses the bus timings for 8086 systems in both minimum and maximum modes, with the status lines indicating the operation type in maximum mode.

ü General Bus Operation


 
The 8086 has a combined address and data bus commonly referred as a time
multiplexed address and data bus. The main reason behind multiplexing address
and data over the same pins is the maximum utilization of processor pins and it
facilitates the use of 40 pin standard DIP package. The bus can be demultiplexed
using a few latches and transreceivers, whenever required.
 
Basically, all the processor bus cycles consist of at least four clock cycles. These
are referred to as T1, T2, T3, T4. The address is transmitted by the processor
during T1, It is present on the bus only for one cycle. The negative edge of this
ALE pulse is used to separate the address and the data or status information.
 
In maximum mode, the status lines S0, S1 and S2 are used to indicate the type of
operation. Status bits S3 to S7 are multiplexed with higher order address bits and
the BHE signal. Address is valid during T1 while status bits S3 to S7 are valid
during T2 through T4.
