Salient Features of 8086 Microprocessor

Salient Features of 8086 Microprocessor The microprocessor 8086 was developed by Intel in 1978 with the following features : 1. Single +5V power supply. 2. Clock speed range of 5-10 Mhz. 3. Capable of executing about 0.33 MIPS (million instructions per second). 4. A 16 bit processor which means that its arithmetic logic unit, internal registers and most of the instructions are designed to work with 16 bit binary words. 5. A 20 bit address bus and hence can directly address 220 (1 M byte) memory locations. 6. It supports pipelined architecture and has two parellel processors, i.e. the Bus interface unit and the Execution unit. 7. It works in two modes; the minimum mode where 8086 is the only processor in the microprocessor based system and maximum mode, where more than one processors share the buses.   #msbte #engineering #electronics  engineering #computer  engineering #8086 microprocessors notes #electrical  engineering  #notes #basics of 8086 microprocessor  #basics of

Introduction of 8086 Microprocessors

Image
The heart of every computer is a microprocessor, which performs all the arithmetical, logical and other computing tasks that make up the actions of your PC. Whether you are using the word editor, or surfing the net with the world wide web browser, playing a computer game or mailing your friend, it is the microprocessor that is actually working behind the scenes a nd executing hundreds or thousands of instructions one at a time to carry out the desired actions of the software being used.  8086 MICROPROCESSOR  The processor or the microprocessor or the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a computer is basically a Large Scale Integrated Circuit (LSI) or a Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI) that implements the functions of an arithmetic and logical unit plus its control unit on a single chip. It can interpret and execute instructions and control input and output. Intel has pioneered the development of microprocessor right since 1971 when it developed the first 4 bit microprocesso
