Lecture #07, Microprocessor-Instruction Format

The document discusses the instruction format of the 8086 microprocessor, detailing that instructions can vary from 1 to 6 bytes and explaining the significance of the first two bytes, including direction and data size bits. It outlines the MOD, REG, and r/m fields used for operand addressing, as well as the limitations on direct memory-to-memory data transfers. Examples are provided to illustrate the instruction format and the necessity of using registers as intermediaries for data transfer.

Instruction Format of 8086

Instruction varies from 1 to 6 bytes.


1st byte → Direction Register Bit- D
Data Size Bit- W.
Byte 2
2nd byte = register operand
D=1 → destination operand.
D=0 → source operand.

W=0 → 8-bit operation.


Sen pg 207, or 218
W=1 → 16-bit operation.
Bree – p 112 (4.1)
or 130
Instruction Format of 8086

2nd byte → one operand is in memory or both operands are in registers.


Byte 2
3 fields- MOD (2-bit), r/m (3-bit), REG (3-bit)

MOD field → 2-bit field.


00 Memory addressing without displacement
01 Memory addressing with 8-bit displacement
10 Memory addressing with 16-bit displacement
11 Register addressing with
W=0 → 8-bit data
W=1 → 16-bit data
Instruction Format of 8086

REG field → 3-bit field.


register for first operand.
Byte 2
D=1 → destination operand.
D=0 → source operand.
Register definition-

r/m field →
3-bit field, along with the MOD field
defines 2nd operand.
MOD=11 → register to register mode.
MOD=00, 01 or 10 → memory mode.
Instruction Format of 8086
Suppose that a 2-byte instruction, 8BECH, appears in a machine language program

130
Direct memory to memory data transfer → not allowed. AX is used as intermediate stage of data.
Example-
MOV [DI], [SI] is not allowed.
This must be done as-
MOV AH, [SI]
MOV [DI], AH
