 Data Addressing Modes

Register Addressing Mode

Copy of a byte or word from the source register to the destination
register.
Use of registers to hold the data to be manipulated.
Memory is not accessed when this addressing mode is executed.

Example: MOV BX, DX ; copy the contents of DX into BX

MOV ES, AX ; copy the contents of AX into ES
MOV AL, BH ; copy the contents of BH to contents of AL
4

Source and destination registers must have the same size

 Data Addressing Modes

Immediate Addressing Mode

Copy the source, an immediate byte or word of data, into the
destination register or memory location the source operand is a
constant
The operand comes immediately after the opcode
For this reason, this addressing mode executes quickly
Immediate addressing mode can be used to load information into
any of the registers except the segment registers and flag registers.

Immediate Addressing Mode

Example:
MOV AX, 2550H ; move 2550H into AX
MOV CX, 625 ; load the decimal value 625 into CX
MOV BL, 40H ; load 40H into BL

Can you move directly the data to a segment register?

NO!!

The data must first be moved to a general-purpose register and

then to the segment register.

 Data Addressing Modes

Direct Addressing Mode

Copy a byte or word between a memory location and a register.
The data is in some memory location(s) and the address of the
data in memory comes immediately after the instruction
This address is the offset address

 Data Addressing Modes

Direct Addressing Mode

This address is the offset address

Example:
MOV AX, [2400H] ; copy contents of DS:2400H into AX

The physical address is calculated by combining the contents of

offset location 2400 with DS
(DS X 10H) + Displacement
Consider that DS = 1000H
(1000H X 10H) + 2400H = 12400H physical address 9

Direct Addressing Mode

Assuming that DS = 1512H.
command:
MOV AL, 3BH
MOV [3518H], AL
Solution:
First 3BH is copied into AL,
Then in line two, the contents of AL are moved to logical
address DS:3518H which is 1512:3518H.
Shifting DS left and adding it to the offset gives the
11
physical address of 18638H
(1512H X 10H + 3518H = 18638H).
After the execution of the second instruction, the
memory location with address 18638H will contain the value 3BH.

Register Indirect Addressing Mode

Copy a byte or word between a register and a memory location
addressed by an index or base register.

The address of the memory location where the operand resides is

held by a register

The registers used for this purpose are SI, DI, and BX They must be
combined with DS in order to generate the 20-bit physical address.

The stack plays an important role in all microprocessors..

• It holds data temporarily and stores return addresses for procedures.
• The stack memory is a LIFO (last-in, first-out) memory, which describes
the way that data are stored and removed from the stack..
• Data are placed onto the stack with a PUSH instruction and removed with
a POP instruction.
• The CALL instruction also uses the stack to hold the return address for
procedures and a RET (return) instruction to remove the return address
from the stack
Example:
PUSH BX ; places the contents of BX register onto the stack
addressed by SP + SS x 10H
54
POP AX ; remove the data from the stack at the location addressed
by SP + SS x 10H and places the data into the AX register
