Recap: Instruction Set of Intel 8085 Processor


The learners are already familiar with instruction set of Intel 8085, we
can reiterate the same with a quiz activity.

Suggested Activity: Quiz

We can divide the learners into two teams; instruct each team to prepare 5
questions on the instruction set of 8085 processor. After 5 minutes of
preparation, each team will ask the other team the questions prepared and
we can facilitate the score. Sample questions could be:
1. Name the components of an instruction.
2. Illustrate the working of any two data movement instructions of 8085
processor.
3. Differentiate between internal and external data movement
instructions of 8085 processor.
4. Narrate any two comparison instructions with examples.



Now that the learners have revisited the 8085 instruction set, Let us
now list the 8086 instruction set.

The instruction set of 8086 can be categorized into:
Data Transfer Instructions
Arithmetic Instructions
Logical Instructions
Branching and Looping Instructions
Process Control Instructions

In this session we will understand the data transfer and arithmetic instructions.
The other instructions will be discussed in the forthcoming sessions.

Data Transfer Instructions of 8086


We can prepare a chart which lists all the data transfer instructions
of 8086 processor. A sample chart listing four data transfer
instructions of 8086 processor is given below:

Instruction Explanation
MOV Move the contents from memory to registers and vice versa
PUSH Push the contents of the program memory into the stack memory
POP Put the contents of stack memory back to program memory
XCHG Exchange contents between two registers or memory locations

We can similarly extend this chart for the remaining data transfer instructions
like XLAT, IN, OUT, LEA, LDS, LES, LSS, LGS, LFS, LAHF and SAHF. Also, include
the string instructions like LODS, STOS, MOVS, INS and OUTS in the chart.

To quickly summarize all the data transfer instructions of 8086, we could
conduct an activity.

Suggested Activity: Unspoken Word

Based on the seating arrangement of the learners, one learner will explain an
operation and the next learner shall identify the instruction set and write it on
the board with an example as shown:

Instruction Operation
XCHG AL, CL Exchanges the contents of AL Register with CL register


Now that we have given details of the data transfer instructions, we could
provide the details on arithmetic instructions.

Arithmetic Instructions


As per the guidelines provided for data transfer instructions, we could
also prepare a chart that includes the arithmetic instructions of 8086
processor.

Instruction Explanation
ADD, SUB Add, subtract byte or word
INC, DEC Increment, decrement byte or word
MUL, DIV Multiply, divide byte or word (unsigned)
CBW, CWD Convert byte to word, word to double word

We can similarly extend the above chart for the remaining arithmetic
instructions like ADC, SBB, NEG, CMP, IMUL, IDIV, AAA, AAS, AAM, AAD, DAA
and DAS.

To summarize the arithmetic instructions of 8086, we could conduct an
activity similar to the previous one.

Suggested Activity: Unspoken Word

Based on the seating arrangement of the learners, one learner will explain an
operation and the next learner shall identify the instruction set and write it on
the board with an example as shown:

Instruction Operation
DAA While addition the decimal needs adjustments

Conclusion


To conclude the data transfer and arithmetic instructions of 8086, we
can conduct an activity to compare it with 8085 instruction set.


Suggested Activity: Tit-for-Tat

Form 2 teams A and B. After 3 minutes of team discussion, team A shall list on
the board the 8085 data transfer and arithmetic instructions. After another 3
minutes of discussion, team B shall write the equivalent 8086 instructions for
the displayed list.

Summary

In this session, we learnt to:

Classify the instruction set of 8086 processor.
Understand and list the 8086 data transfer instructions.
Identify and illustrate the operation of 8086 arithmetic instructions.
Compare 8085 and 8086 instruction sets.

Assignments

1. What is a short J MP?

2. Which type of J MP instruction (short, near or far) assembles for the
following:
if the distance is 0210H bytes
if the distance is 0020H bytes
if the distance is 100000H bytes

3. Write a procedure that sums EAX, EBX, ECX and EDX. If a carry occurs,
place logic 1 in EDI. If no carry occurs place a 0 in EDI.

4. The sum should be found in EAX after the execution of your procedure.

5. Refer to ARM processor data sheet and identify the different classes of
instructions.
