Architecture of 8086
A Microprocessor is an Integrated Circuit with all the functions of a CPU. However, it cannot be used stand-alone since unlike a microcontroller it has no memory or peripherals . 8086 does not have RAM or ROM inside it. However, it has internal registers for storing intermediate and final results and interfaces with memory located outside it through the System Bus. In the case of 8086, it is a 16-bit Integer processor in a 40-pin, Dual Inline Packaged IC. The size of the internal registers(present within the chip) indicates how much information the processor can operate on at a time ( in this case 16-bit registers ) and how it moves data around internally within the chip, sometimes also referred to as the internal data bus. 8086 provides the programmer with 14 internal registers, each of 16 bits or 2 bytes wide. The main advantage of the 8086 microprocessor is that it supports Pipelining. 8086 Architecture M...
