2
• The sequence of commands used to tell a microcomputer what to
do is called a program,
• Each command in a program is called an instruction
• 8088 understands and performs operations for 117 basic
instructions
• The native language of the IBM PC is the machine language of the
8088
• A program written in machine language is referred to as machine
code
• In 8088 assembly language, each of the operations is described by
alphanumeric symbols instead of 0-1s.

LABEL: INSTRUCTION ; COMMENT
Address identifier Does not generate any machine code
• Ex. START: MOV AX, BX ; copy BX into AX
• There is a one-to-one relationship between assembly and
machine language instructions
• A compiled machine code implementation of a program
written in a high-level language results in inefficient code
– More machine language instructions than an assembled version of an
equivalent handwritten assembly language program
4
• Two key benefits of assembly
language programming
– It takes up less memory
– It executes much faster
5
Applications
Applications
• One of the most beneficial uses of
assembly language programming is
real-time applications.
Real time means the task required by the
application must be completed before any other
input to the program that will alter its operation can
occur
For example the device service routine which
controls the operation of the floppy disk drive is a
good example that is usually written in assembly
language
6
• Assembly language not only good for
controlling hardware devices but also
performing pure software operations
– Searching through a large table of data for a special
string of characters
– Code translation from ASCII to EBCDIC
– Table sort routines
– Mathematical routines
Assembly language: perform real-time operations
High-level languages: used to write those parts
that are not time critical
7
Converting Assembly Language Instructions
to Machine Code
• An instruction can be coded with 1 to 6 bytes
• Byte 1 contains three kinds of information
– Opcode field (6 bits) specifies the operation (add, subtract,
move)
– Register Direction Bit (D bit) Tells the register operand in REG
field in byte 2 is source or destination operand
1: destination 0: source
- Data Size Bit (W bit) Specifies whether the operation will be
performed on 8-bit or 16-bit data
0: 8 bits 1: 16 bits
8
• Byte 2 has three fields
– Mode field (MOD)
– Register field (REG) used to identify the register for the first operand
– Register/memory field (R/M field)

 A subroutine is a special segment of program that can be called for
execution from any point in a program.
 An assembly language subroutine is also referred to as a “procedure”.
 Whenever we need the subroutine, a single instruction is inserted in to
the main body of the program to call subroutine.
 To branch a subroutine the value in the IP or CS and IP must be
modified.
 After execution, we want to return the control to the instruction that
immediately follows the one called the subroutine i.e., the original
value of IP or CS and IP must be preserved.
 Execution of the instruction causes the contents of IP to be saved on
the stack. (this time (SP)  (SP) -2 )
 A new 16-bit (near-proc, mem16, reg16 i.e., Intra Segment) value
which is specified by the instructions operand is loaded into IP.
 Examples: CALL 1234H
CALL BX
CALL [BX]

Loop Instructions
Loop Instructions
• These instructions are used to repeat a set of instructions several
times.
• Format: LOOP Short-Label
• Operation: (CX)  (CX)-1
• Jump is initialized to location defined by short label if CX≠0.
otherwise, execute next sequential instruction.
• Instruction LOOP works w.r.t contents of CX. CX must be
preloaded with a count that represents the number of times the
loop is to be repeat.
• Whenever the loop is executed, contents at CX are first
decremented then checked to determine if they are equal to zero.
• If CX=0, loop is complete and the instruction following loop is
executed.
• If CX ≠ 0, content return to the instruction at the label specified in
the loop instruction.
57
General format : LOOP r8 ; r8 is 8-bit signed value.
It is a 2 byte instruction.
Used for backward jump only.
Maximum distance for backward jump is only 128 bytes.

Machine control instructions
Machine control instructions
HLT instruction – HALT processing
the HLT instruction will cause the 8086 to stop fetching and executing
instructions. The 8086 will enter a halt state. The only way to get the processor
out of the halt state are with an interrupt signal on the INTR pin or an interrupt
signal on NMI pin or a reset signal on the RESET input.
NOP instruction
this instruction simply takes up three clock cycles and does no
processing. After this, it will execute the next instruction. This instruction is
normally used to provide delays in between instructions.
ESC instruction
whenever this instruction executes, the microprocessor does NOP or
access a data from memory for coprocessor. This instruction passes the
information to 8087 math processor. Six bits of ESC instruction provide the
opcode to coprocessor.
when 8086 fetches instruction bytes, co-processor also picks up these
bytes and puts in its queue. The co-processor will treat normal 8086
instructions as NOP. Floating point instructions are executed by 8087 and
during this 8086 will be in WAIT.
92
Machine control instructions
Machine control instructions contd
contd
LOCK instruction
this is a prefix to an instruction. This prefix makes sure that during
execution of the instruction, control of system bus is not taken by other
microprocessor.
in multiprocessor systems, individual microprocessors are
connected together by a system bus. This is to share the common
resources. Each processor will take control of this bus only when it needs to
use common resource.
the lock prefix will ensure that in the middle of an instruction,
system bus is not taken by other processors. This is achieved by hardware
signal ‘LOCK’ available on one of the CPU pin. This signal will be made
active during this instruction and it is used by the bus control logic to prevent
others from taking the bus.
once this instruction is completed, lock signal becomes inactive and
microprocessors can take the system bus.
WAIT instruction
this instruction takes 8086 to an idle condition. The CPU will not do
any processing during this. It will continue to be in idle state until TEST pin
of 8086 becomes low or an interrupt signal is received on INTR or NMI. On
valid interrupt, ISR is executed and processor enters the idle state again.

Unit 2 8086 Instruction set.ppt notes good

  • 2. 2 • The sequence of commands used to tell a microcomputer what to do is called a program, • Each command in a program is called an instruction • 8088 understands and performs operations for 117 basic instructions • The native language of the IBM PC is the machine language of the 8088 • A program written in machine language is referred to as machine code • In 8088 assembly language, each of the operations is described by alphanumeric symbols instead of 0-1s. ADD AX, BX (Opcode) (Destination operand) (Source operand ) Software Software
  • 3. 3 Instructions Instructions LABEL: INSTRUCTION ; COMMENT Address identifier Does not generate any machine code • Ex. START: MOV AX, BX ; copy BX into AX • There is a one-to-one relationship between assembly and machine language instructions • A compiled machine code implementation of a program written in a high-level language results in inefficient code – More machine language instructions than an assembled version of an equivalent handwritten assembly language program
  • 4. 4 • Two key benefits of assembly language programming – It takes up less memory – It executes much faster
  • 5. 5 Applications Applications • One of the most beneficial uses of assembly language programming is real-time applications. Real time means the task required by the application must be completed before any other input to the program that will alter its operation can occur For example the device service routine which controls the operation of the floppy disk drive is a good example that is usually written in assembly language
  • 6. 6 • Assembly language not only good for controlling hardware devices but also performing pure software operations – Searching through a large table of data for a special string of characters – Code translation from ASCII to EBCDIC – Table sort routines – Mathematical routines Assembly language: perform real-time operations High-level languages: used to write those parts that are not time critical
  • 7. 7 Converting Assembly Language Instructions to Machine Code • An instruction can be coded with 1 to 6 bytes • Byte 1 contains three kinds of information – Opcode field (6 bits) specifies the operation (add, subtract, move) – Register Direction Bit (D bit) Tells the register operand in REG field in byte 2 is source or destination operand 1: destination 0: source - Data Size Bit (W bit) Specifies whether the operation will be performed on 8-bit or 16-bit data 0: 8 bits 1: 16 bits
  • 8. 8 • Byte 2 has three fields – Mode field (MOD) – Register field (REG) used to identify the register for the first operand – Register/memory field (R/M field)
  • 9. 9 Mnemonic Meaning Format Operation Flags affected MOV Move Mov D,S (S)  (D) None Data Transfer Instructions - MOV Data Transfer Instructions - MOV Destination Source Memory Accumulator Accumulator Memory Register Register Register Memory Memory Register Register Immediate Memory Immediate Seg reg Reg 16 Seg reg Mem 16 Reg 16 Seg reg Memory Seg reg NO MOV Memory Immediate Segment Register Memory Segment Register Segment Register EX: MOV AL, BL

  • 12. 12 The XLAT Instruction The XLAT Instruction Mnemonic Meaning Format Operation Flags XLAT Translate XLAT ((AL)+(BX)+(DS)0)  (AL) None Example: Assume (DS) = 0300H, (BX)=0100H, and (AL)=0DH XLAT replaces contents of AL by contents of memory location with PA=(DS)0 +(BX) +(AL) = 03000H + 0100H + 0DH = 0310DH Thus (0310DH)  (AL)

  • 91. 91 Machine control instructions Machine control instructions HLT instruction – HALT processing the HLT instruction will cause the 8086 to stop fetching and executing instructions. The 8086 will enter a halt state. The only way to get the processor out of the halt state are with an interrupt signal on the INTR pin or an interrupt signal on NMI pin or a reset signal on the RESET input. NOP instruction this instruction simply takes up three clock cycles and does no processing. After this, it will execute the next instruction. This instruction is normally used to provide delays in between instructions. ESC instruction whenever this instruction executes, the microprocessor does NOP or access a data from memory for coprocessor. This instruction passes the information to 8087 math processor. Six bits of ESC instruction provide the opcode to coprocessor. when 8086 fetches instruction bytes, co-processor also picks up these bytes and puts in its queue. The co-processor will treat normal 8086 instructions as NOP. Floating point instructions are executed by 8087 and during this 8086 will be in WAIT.
  • 92. 92 Machine control instructions Machine control instructions contd contd LOCK instruction this is a prefix to an instruction. This prefix makes sure that during execution of the instruction, control of system bus is not taken by other microprocessor. in multiprocessor systems, individual microprocessors are connected together by a system bus. This is to share the common resources. Each processor will take control of this bus only when it needs to use common resource. the lock prefix will ensure that in the middle of an instruction, system bus is not taken by other processors. This is achieved by hardware signal ‘LOCK’ available on one of the CPU pin. This signal will be made active during this instruction and it is used by the bus control logic to prevent others from taking the bus. once this instruction is completed, lock signal becomes inactive and microprocessors can take the system bus. WAIT instruction this instruction takes 8086 to an idle condition. The CPU will not do any processing during this. It will continue to be in idle state until TEST pin of 8086 becomes low or an interrupt signal is received on INTR or NMI. On valid interrupt, ISR is executed and processor enters the idle state again.
