8086/8088 Architecture and Hardware Specifications

This document discusses the 8086/8088 microprocessor architecture and hardware specifications. It explains that programs are written in languages like C++ but compiled into machine code that is understood by the 8088 as a sequence of 1s and 0s. It also provides an example program in assembly code to compare an input value to a variable and set an output. Additionally, it outlines the internal hardware components of the 8088 including registers for data, an ALU for arithmetic/logical operations, and a control unit to decode instructions and generate control signals.

8086/8088 Architecture and Hardware specifications

Lecture 01 1
Microprocessor Applications
 Industrial Control
 Home appliances
 Vehicles
 Security Systems
 Defense Systems
 Health Systems

Lecture 01 2
Processing Data & Executing Code
 Microprocessor has to monitor an input signal X
 If X is greater than a user defined variable, then output
control signal is ON, otherwise OFF
 (X > var1) = Z
 How does microprocessor compare input signals and
set the output to ON/OFF?
 Write a program which the microprocessor executes to
solve the equation

Lecture 01 3
Processing Data & Executing Code
 Where should the program be written and stored?
 Memory
 RAM or ROM ?
 Microprocessor reads program instruction from ROM
 Program is stored in Hard disk for latter use

Lecture 01 4

Lecture 01 5
Processing Data & Executing Code
 Which language should be used to write the program?
 Use C++ to write the program
 C++ is not understood by 8088
 C++ complied to generate machine code
 Machine code?
 unique sequence of 1 & 0s
 Different compilers available to generate target code for
different processors

Lecture 01 6
Compare Program Assembly
Code
 (X > var1) = Z
 var1 is a variable stored in memory location 0FA1
 IN A, 1A H
 Get data value from input port 1AH and store it in
microprocessor register A
 CMP A, 0FA1 H
 Compare the contents of register A with contents of memory
location 0FA1 H (var1)
 JG set Z
 If contents of register A greater, then set Z = 1

Lecture 01 7
Instruction
 Operation to be performed (Opcode)
 Number of bits in opcode field specify the different
number of operations
 Values on which operation to be performed
(Operands)
 Number of bits in operand field specify the size of values
on which operation is performed
