Addressing Modes of 8088: Examples: Mov Ax, BX Mov CL, DH Mov CX, Si

The document discusses the addressing modes of the 8088 microprocessor. There are three main addressing modes: register, immediate, and memory. Memory addressing can be further broken down into five types based on how the effective address is calculated: direct, indirect, based, indexed, and based indexed. Register addressing uses registers as operands. Immediate addressing uses a constant as an operand. Memory addressing calculates the physical address using the segment base address and effective address.

Addressing 

Mode of 8088                                                                   Prepared by Aqeel Noori 

Addressing Modes of 8088 
Addressing mode is a method to specify an operand; there are three types 
of Addressing modes: 
1‐ Register addressing mode. 
2‐ Immediate addressing mode.  
3‐ Memory addressing mode. 
 
 Register operand addressing mode  
In this type of addressing mode both operands are registers (16 bits/8bits) 
    Examples: 
                      MOV AX, BX 
                     MOV CL, DH 
                     MOV CX, SI 
 
Immediate Addressing Mode  
Here  one  operand  is  a  part  of  an  instruction  instead  of  register  or 
memory  location,  this  operand  is  Imm8  or  Imm16  in  length  (immediate 
operand is constant data) 
                                    Example:        MOV AL, 15H 
 
Question: 
Write an instruction that moves the immediate value 1234H to CX register  
    Solution:  
                                  MOV CX, 1234H  
 
 
Memory operand Addressing Mode 
To  reference  an  operand  in  memory,  the  8088  must  calculate  the 
physical address (PA) of that operand. 
The  computation  is  done  by  using  Segment  (Base)  address  (SBA)  and 
effective address (EA) 
 
SBA:  identifies the starting location of the segment in memory. 
EA:  represent  the  offset  of  the  operand  from  the  beginning  of  this 
segment of memory.

Addressing Mode of 8088                                                                   Prepared by Aqeel Noori 

This  addressing  mode  can  be  classified  into  5  types  (according  to  EA 
calculation) 
(A)‐ Direct Addressing Mode  
It  is  similar  to  immediate  addressing  mode  but  the  instruction  is 
followed by an effective address instead of data, this EA is used directly as 
16  bits  offset  of  the  storage  location  of  the  operand  from  the  location  of 
data segment. 
 
   Example\ 
                                            MOV BX, [1234H] 
  This  instruction  means  move  the  contents  of  memory  location  with 
  offset 1234H in the current Data segment into BX register. 
  Suppose DS=0200     and [03234] =ED   and     [03235] =BE 
               So PA=DS*10 + offset  
                          =02000 + 1234 
                          = 03234H 
  So the content of memory locations 03234 and 03235 (because BX is 2byte 
  register) will be moved to BX,   i.e. BX=BEED 
  
 
(B)‐ Indirect Addressing Mode 
this mode is similar to direct but EA is reside in Base register (BX or BP) or in 
Index register (SI or DI) , so the equation of PA will be : 
 
                          PA= Segment*10 + {SI or DI or BX or BP} 
 
 
  Example\ 
                                        MOV AX, [SI] 
  Suppose that    SI = 1234   ,   DS= 0200, [03234] =77, [03235] =DD 
                                              
                                             PA = DS * 10 + SI 
                                                   = 02000 + 1234 
                                                   = 03234 
  So the content of 03234 and 03235 will be saved in AX, i.e. AX=DD77

Addressing Mode of 8088                                                                   Prepared by Aqeel Noori 

(C)‐ Based Addressing Mode 
Here  one  operands  has  Base  register  (BX  or  BP)  followed  by  direct  or 
indirect Displacement (16 bits value) 
Example \ 
                             MOV [BX] +1234H, AL 
So EA is derived by using BX and Direct displacement 1234H 
So   PA=DS*10 + BX + 1234H 
 
(D)‐ Indexed Addressing Mode 
Here  one  operands  has  Index  register  (SI  or  DI)  followed  by  direct  or 
indirect Displacement (16 bits value) 
Example \ 
                             MOV [DI] +1552H, AL 
So EA is derived by using DI and Direct displacement 1552H 
So   PA=DS*10 + DI + 1552H 
 
(E)‐ Based Indexed Addressing Mode 
Here one operands has Base register (BX or BP) and Index register (SI or DI) 
followed by direct or indirect Displacement (16 bits value) 
 
Example \ 
                             MOV CH, [BX] [SI] +1234H 
So EA is derived by using BX and SI and Direct displacement 1234H 
So   PA=DS*10 + BX + SI + 1234H
