8086 Addressing Modes

The way of specifying data to be operated by an instruction is


known as addressing modes. In the other word addressing modes refer to
the different methods of addressing the operands. Depending upon the
data types used in the instruction and the memory addressing modes, any
instruction may belong to one or more addressing modes.

Instructions are operations performed by the CPU. An instruction is a


statement that is executed at runtime. In 8086 instruction statement can
consist of four parts:

 Label (optional)
 Instruction (required)
 Operands (instruction specific)
 Comment (optional)

[ Label:] Instruction Operands [; Comment ]

Operands are entities operated upon by the instruction. An 8086


instruction can have zero to two operands. For instructions with two
operands, the first (lefthand) operand is the source operand, and the second
(righthand) operand is the destination operand (that is, source-
>destination). Also, operands are separated by commas (,) :

Mov ax, bx

Addresses are the locations in memory of specified data.

Machine code : may be one , two , three or four bytes in length. The
first byte is actual operation called an opcode ( is short for 'Operation
Code') that tells the processor what should be done, and any other bytes
that present are operand refrenced an immediate value , a register , or a
memory location.
Types of Addressing Modes:

1.Immediate addressing mode: The destination field in the first operand


defines the length of the data and may be a register or a memory location
(the first operand is never an immediate value), and the second operand
is the data itself (appears in the form of successive byte or bytes).

Example: MOV AX , 8705 h

In the above example, 8705 h is the immediate data. The immediate data
may be 8-bit or 16-bit in size.

MOV byteptr [6100 h] , 0F h


MOV wordptr [6100 h] , 0F h

2. Register addressing mode: In the register addressing mode, the data is


stored in a register and it is referred using the particular register (the
operands are registers). All the registers, except IP, may be used in this
mode.

Example: ADD BL , AL
MOV SI , CX

3. Direct addressing mode: In this mode , one operands references a

memory location and other operand references a register.

Example: MOV AX , [6107 h]


SUB [6107 h] , CL

Here, data resides in a memory location in the data segment, whose


physical address may be computed using 6107 h as the offset address and
content of DS as segment address. The physical address , here , is :
physical address = DS * 10 h + 6107 h.

4. Indirect addressing mode: When the one operand references a register.


the other operand contains an indirect address as follows :
Note. By default DS segment register is used for all modes except those
with BP register , for these SS segment register is used.

a. Base : Here memory is [BX] or [BP].


Example: MOV AX , [BX] ; segment is DS
SBB [BP] ,CX ; segment is SS
INC wordptr[BP] ; segment is SS

b . Index : Here memory is [SI] or [DI]. Here segment is DS.

Example: AND [SI] , DX


SUB BX , [DI]
DEC wordptr[DI]

c. Base index : Here memory is [BX+SI] or [BX+DI] or [BP+ SI] or


[BP+ DI].
Example: MOV AL , [BX+SI] ; segment is DS
ADC [BX+DI] , SP ; segment is DS
SBB [BP+DI] , CL ; segment is SS
INC wordptr[BP+SI] ; segment is SS
MOV AX , [BX+DI] ; segment is DS
d. Base with displacement : Here memory is [BX + displacement] or
[BP + displacement].

Note: Displacement is 8 bit or 16 bit signed value, so it can be both


positive or negative.
Example: DEC byteptr [BX+0825 h] ; segment is DS
SBB AX , [BP+ 9040 h] ; segment is SS
XOR CX,[BX-9000 h] ; segment is DS
OR wordptr[BP-7000 h],DX ; segment is SS
MOV AX ,[BX+07 h] ; segment is DS
e. Index with displacement: Here memory is [SI+displacement] or
[DI+displacement]. Here segment is DS.
Example: SUB [SI+33 h] , CX
ADC BX , [DI - F122 h]

f. Base index with displacement: Here memory is

[BX+SI+displacement] or [BX+DI+displacement] or
[BP+SI+displacement] or [BP+DI+displacement].

Example: ADC AX , [BX+SI-01] ; segment is DS


MOV DH , [BX+DI+15 h], ; segment is DS
OR [BP+SI-1F h] , CX ; segment is SS
INC wordptr[BP+DI+82 h] ; segment is SS
MOV AX , [BX+SI+02 h ] ; segment is DS

Note. Only the registers (BX, SI, DI, BP) can be used inside square
brackets (as memory pointers).

5. Stack addressing mode:


Example: PUSH AX
POP [DI]

6. String addressing mode:


Example : MOVSB , MOVSW , LODSB , LODSW , STOSB , STOSW ,
CMPSB , CMPSW , SCASB , SCASW .
7. Input output addressing mode:
Example: IN AL , 7
IN AX , DX
OUT DX , AX

8.Implied addressing mode:

Example : AAA, AAD, AAM, AAS , DAA, DAS, XLATB .
