Addressing modes of 8086

• Addressing modes indicates a way of locating data

• Depending upon the data type used in the instruction &


memory addressing modes any instruction may belong to one
or more addressing modes

• According to the flow of instruction execution instruction


categorized as

1) sequential control flow instruction

2) control transfer instruction


-Sequential control flow instruction are the instruction which
after execution ,transfer the control to the next instruction
appearing immediately after it in the program e.g the
arithmetic , logical , data transfer and process control
instruction.

-The control transfer instruction transfer the control


predefined address of the memory somehow specified in the
instruction after their execution e.g : INT ,CALL , JMP
,RET etc
Immediate addressing modes
• In this mode the immediate data is the part of the
instruction and appear in the form of byte

• So immediate data may be 8 bit or 16 bit in length.

• Immediate data can be accessed quickly as they are


available in an instruction queue. Hence no extra bus
cycle is required.

• E.g: Mov AL,46H = AL is loaded with 8 bit immediate


data 46H

• Mov BX,1234H=BX is loaded with 16 bit immediate data


1234H.
Direct addressing mode

• In this mode a 16 bit memory address of operand is


directly specified in the instruction as a part of it.

• The offset of displacement may be 8 bit or 16 bit which


follow the instruction op-code

• The physical address is calculated by adding the offset


to the base segment register i.e cs ,ds, es, ss

• E.g: Mov AL,[3000H]= AL will be loaded with the


content of memory location whose offset is 3000H
Register addressing mode

• In this mode the data is stored in a register and it is referred


using the particular register.

• Register is source or destination.

• The instruction of this mode is compact and faster in execution

• Register are 8bit or 16 bit

• E.g: mov AX,CX= copies the contents of CX to AX


Register indirect addressing mode

• In this mode ,the address of the memory location that contain


data is determined in an indirect way ,using offset register such
as BX ,SI ,DI register.

• The default segment register is either DS , ES

• If BP is used then SS is default segment register.

• E.g: MOV AX,[BX] = copies the content of memory location


whose offset is in BX register
Register relative addressing mode

• In this mode the data is available at an effective formed


by adding 8 bits or 16 bits displacement with contents of
any one of the register such as BX,BP,SI or DI in the
default DS and ES segment.

• E.g:= MOV AX,50[BX]= copies the word from memory


location whose offset will be calculated by adding the
content 50 with the content of BX register
Base indexed addressing mode

• In this mode the effective address of data is formed by


adding the content of a base register BX or BP to the
content of an index register SI or DI with default segment
DS and ES

• E.g: MOV AX,[BX][SI]= copies the word from memory


location whose offset is calculated by adding the content
of BX with content of SI
Relative base indexed addressing mode

• In this mode the effective address of data is calculated by


adding the 8 bit or 16 bit displacement with the sum of
base register BX or BP and SI or DI register in the default
segment DS and Es

• E.g: MOV AX,60[BX][SI]=copies word from memory


location whose offset is calculated by adding the 60H with
the content of BX and SI
Instruction set of 8086

• Data transfer /copy instructions

• Arithmetic &logical instructions

• Brach instructions

• Loop instructions

• Machine control instructions

• Flag manipulation instructions

• Shift and rotate instructions

• String instructions
Data transfer/copy instructions

• These types of instruction used to transfer data from


source operand to destination operand.

• All the store,move,load,exchange,input & output


instruction come in this category
Mov destination, source
• Syntax: Mov destination,source
• Operation: destination source
• The mov instruction copies a word(16 bit) or byte(8 bit) of data from
a specified source to a specified destination
• The destination can be a register or a memory location.
• The source can be a register or memory location or immediate
number.
• The source &destination both can not be memory location at one
time.
• The source &destination in a mov instruction must be of type byte or
they must both be of type word. It can not affect any flag.
• E.g: mov cx,037H= put an immediate no 037h in cx
mov ax,bx = copy contents of bx into ax
PUSH-push to stack
• Syntax: PUSH source
• Operation: SPSP-2
SS:[SP]higher byte of source
SS:[SP-1]lower byte of source
-The push instruction decrements the stack pointer by 2 & copies a word
from source to the location in the stack segment where the stack
pointer pointes
-The source of the word can be a general-purpose register or memory
-out of 2 decremented stack address the higher byte occupies the higher
address & the lower byte occupies the lower address.
e.g: PUSH BX= decrement sp by 2 ,copy BX to stack i.e content of BH
register to higher address of stack & BL register to lower address of
stack
POP-pop from stack
• Syntax: pop destination
• Operation:
Lower byte of destinationSS:[SP]
Higher byte of destinationSS:[SP+1]
SPSP+2
- The pop instruction copies a word from stack location
pointed by the stack pointer to a destination specified in
the instruction.
- The destination can be a general-purpose register,segment
register or memory location
- The data in the stack is not changed .After the word is
copied to the specified destination,the stack pointer is
automatically incremented by 2 to point the next word on
the stack
- E.g:
1) POP DX= copy a word from top of stack to DX, sp=sp+2
i.e content of [sp] to
DL register and content of [sp+1] to DH regsiter.
2) POP DS = copy a word from top of the stack to DS
register sp=sp+2
3) POP [8000] = copy a word from top of stack to memory
loction 8000h and 8001h

any of 24 addressing modes
 The source and destination both be word or byte
 The segment register cannot be used in the instruction.
 E.g: XCHG AX,BX= exchange the word in AX with word
in BX
XCHG BL,CH= exchange the byte in BL with byte in
CH
IN-input data from a port

• Operation:
[port]AL for byte
[port+1]AH for word
- This instruction is used for writing to an output port.
- The OUT instruction copies a byte from AL or from AX
to specified port
- The address of the port is specified in the instruction
directly or indirectly
-For the fixed port type the 8 bit address of a port is
specified directly in the instruction.
-For variable port type the 16 bit address of a port is
specified in DX register
-DX register must always be loaded with the 16 bit port
address before the OUT instruction.
