8086 Instruction Set and its Classification

The instructions of 8086 are classified into SIX groups. They are:

1. DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

2. ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTIONS
3. BIT MANIPULATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. STRING INSTRUCTIONS
5. PROGRAM EXECUTION TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS
6. PROCESS CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS

1.DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

The DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS are those, which transfers the DATA from
any one source to any one destination.The datas may be of any type. They are again
classified into four groups.They are:

GENERAL – PURPOSE SIMPLE INPUT AND SPECIAL ADDRESS FLAG

BYTE OR WORD OUTPUT PORT TRANSFER TRANSFER
TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS TRANSFER INSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTION
MOV LEA LAHF
PUSH LDS SAHF
POP IN LES PUSHF
XCHG OUT POPF
XLAT

2.ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are those which are useful to perform Arithmetic calculations, such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.They are again classified into four
groups.They are:

ADDITION SUBTRACTION MULTIPLICATION DIVISION

INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS
ADD SUB MUL DIV
ADC SBB IMUL IDIV
INC DEC AAM AAD
AAA NEG CBW
DAA CMP CWD
AAS
DAS

3.BIT MANIPULATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are used to perform Bit wise operations.

LOGICAL INSTRUCTIONS SHIFT INSTRUCTIONS ROTATE INSTRUCTIONS

NOT SHL / SAL ROL
AND SHR ROR
OR SAR RCL
XOR RCR
TEST

4. STRING INSTRUCTIONS

The string instructions function easily on blocks of memory.They are user friendly
instructions, which help for easy program writing and execution. They can speed up the
manipulating code.They are useful in array handling, tables and records.

6.PROCESS CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are used to change the process of the Microprocessor. They change the
process with the stored information. They are again classified into Two groups.They are:
