8086 Architecture

The 8086 was a 16-bit microprocessor developed by Intel as a more powerful successor to the 8-bit 8085 microprocessor. It had a 16-bit data bus allowing it to access more memory and perform operations faster than the 8-bit 8085. The 8086 also included more powerful instructions and more general purpose registers. It helped address many of the limitations of 8-bit processors and allowed for more advanced architecture and processing capabilities.

8086 ARCHITECTURE

8085 VS 8086
The main limitation of 8-bit
(8085) microprocessor were their low speed of execution , low memory,
addressing capability limited number of General purpose register and a less
powerful instruction set .
All these limitations of 8-bit microprocessor tempted the designers to go for
more powerful processors in terms of advance architecture more processing
capability and more powerful instruction set . 8086 was a result of such a
development design efforts.
*Intel 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor is intended to be used as a CPU in
microprocessor
*8086 has a 16-bit Data bus so it can Read data from or Write data to
memory and ports either 16-bit or 8-bit at a time.

 AD15-AD0
 ADDRESS DATA BUS: These lines constitute the time multiplexed memory
or i/o address and data bus .
 ALE (ADDRESS LATCH ENABLE): A HIGH on this line causes the lower
orders 16-bit address bus can be used as data bus.
 READY: READY is the acknowledgement from the addressed memory or
i/o device that will be complete the data transfer .
 INTR : INTERRUPT REQUEST is a level triggered input which is sample
during the last clock cycle of each instruction to determine if the processor
should enter into interrupt acknowledgment operation .
 INTA : INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from the mp.
 RESET : It causes the processor to immediately terminate its present
activity.
