Addressing Modes
Instruction = opcode + operand.
Operand may reside in
(i) accumulator or
(ii) general purpose register or
(ii) memory location.
Addressing mode = Manner in which operand is specified in instruction.
Different addressing modes of 8086-
(i) Register operand addressing.
(ii) Immediate operand addressing.
(iii) Memory operand addressing.
Different memory addressing modes are-
(i) Direct Addressing
(ii) Register Indirect Addressing
(iii) Based Addressing
(iv) Indexed Addressing
(v) Based Indexed Addressing and
(vi) Based Indexed with displacement.
Addressing Modes
Register Addressing Mode
Transfers copy of a byte or word from source to destination register.
8-bit register = AH, AL, BH, BL, CH, CL, DH and DL.
16-bit register = AX, BX, CX, DX, SP, BP, SI, and DI.
Instructions have to use same size registers.
Example- MOV AX, BX
Immediate Addressing Mode
Data immediately follow hexadecimal opcode.
Operates upon a byte or word of data.
Transfers source into destination register or memory location.
Example- MOV AL, 015H
Value of immediate operand must always be preceded by a zero.
Direct Addressing Mode
Two basic forms are-
i) direct addressing: MOV between memory location and AL, AX
ii) displacement addressing: applies to any instruction [4 bytes].
Address =
displacement + DS (= default data segment address) or
displacement + SEG (alternate segment address).
SEG = segment override prefix.
Direct addressing moves byte or word between memory location and register.
Instruction set does not support memory-to-memory transfer, except MOVS.
Effective address follows instruction opcode. Thus-
PA = Segment base : Direct address.
= DS : EA
LDA 2050H ; (load content of 2050 into AL)
Direct Addressing Mode MOV AX, [1234H]
Example- MOV CX, [BETA]
If BETA = 1234H 0E = 0000 1110
PA = 02000H + 1234H = 03234H cx
MOV [0404H], CX [0404HCL; 0405HCH]
segment addr.
Offset addr.
Physical addr.
Register Indirect Addressing Mode
Data to be addressed at any memory location through offset address.
Offset address → BP, BX, DI, or SI.
SS DS
Transfers byte or word between register and memory location.
Direct addressing → EA = constant
Register indirect addressing → EA = variable.
DS = Default segment register.
SEG = segment override prefix → any of 4 segment registers can be referenced.
PA can be computed as-
Stack segment
Data segment
Register Indirect Addressing Mode
Example- MOV AX, [SI]
If SI = 1234H and DS = 0200H, then
PA = 02000H + 1234H = 03234H
DS = default segment register for BX, DI, or SI.
SS = default segment register for BP.
Based Addressing Mode
Operand offset address = BX/BP registers + 8-bit/16-bit displacement.
PA = Segment base : Base + Displacement
Change displacement value →
Access different elements within same data
structure.
Change base register value →
Access same element in another data structure.
different array er same element e access korbo
MOV AX, [BX + 04H]
Based Addressing Mode
Effective Address = Base Register + Offset MOV AL, [BP + 02H]
MOV BYTE [BP + 2], AL
MOV AL, BYTE [BP + 2]
Example- MOV [BX].BETA, AL BETA
PA = 02000H + 1000H + 1234H = 04234H
DS = default segment register for BX.
SS = default segment register for BP.
Indexed Addressing Mode
Operand offset address = SI or DI register + 8-bit/16-bit displacements.
PA = Segment Base : Index + Displacement
Change index register value →
Access different elements within same data
structure.
Change displacement value →
Access same element in another data
structure.
Effective Address = Index Register + Offset
Indexed Addressing Mode
MOV AL, [SI + 05H]
MOV AX, [DI + 10H]
Example- MOV AL, ARRAY[SI]
PA = DS + SI + direct displacement.
PA = 02000H + 2000H + 1234H = 05234H
Based Indexed Addressing Mode MOV AX, [BX + SI]
MOV AL, [BP + DI]
Based indexed addressing = based addressing + indexed addressing.
Offset address = Base register + Index register.
PA = Segment base : Base + Index
= DS : BX + SI or SS : BP + DI
PA
Example- MOV AL, [BX].[SI]
Assume- DS=0300H, BX=1000H, SI=1234H
PA = 03000H + 1000H + 1234H = 05234H
Based Indexed with
MOV AX, [BX + SI + 08H]
MOV AL, [BP + SI + 03H]
Displacement Addressing Mode
Offset = Base register + Index register + 8 or 16-bit displacement.
PA = Segment base : Base + Index + Displacement
Used to access two dimensional (m×n) array.
Displacement = starting position of array.
Base register = one coordinate (say m) and
Index register = other coordinate (say n).
Based Indexed with
Displacement Addressing Mode
Example- MOV AH, [BX] [SI] + BETA
PA = 02000H + 1000H + 2000H + 1234H = 06234H
