MICROPROCESSORS

The microprocessor contains all, or most of, the central processing unit (CPU) functions and is the "engine" that goes into motion when you turn your computer on. A microprocessor is designed to perform arithmetic and logic operations that make use of small number-holding areas called registers.

8086 MICROPROCESSOR

In 1978, Intel developed 8086 processor. The Intel 8086 is a 16-bit microprocessor, implemented in N-channel, depletion mode, silicon gate technology (HMOS), and packaged it in a 40-pin dual in line package. Salient features of 8086 microprocessor are:It is a 16-bit microprocessor. It has a 20 bit address bus. So it can access up to 220 or 10, 48,576 memory locations (1 MB).It is a 40 pin dual in line package.It can support up to 64K I/O ports.It provides fourteen16 -bit registers.It has multiplexed address and data bus AD0- AD15 and A16 – A19.It requires single phase clock with 33% duty cycle to provide internal timing.It is designed to operate in two modes, Minimum and Maximum modes.
It can prefetches up to 6 instruction bytes from memory and store them in order to speed up instruction execution.It requires +5V power supply.
