DIFFERENT ADDRESSING MODES OF 8086
1) Immediate addressing mode
2) Register addressing mode
3) Direct memory addressing mode
4) Register based indirect addressing mode
5) Register relative addressing mode
6) Base indexed addressing mode
7) Relative based indexed addressing mode
8) Implied addressing mode
1) IMMEDIATE ADDRESSING MODE-
• In this mode, the operand is specified in the instruction itself.
Instructions are longer but the operands are easily identified.
• Example:
• MVI CL, 12H
• This instruction moves 12 immediately into CL register. CL ← 12H
2) REGISTER ADDRESSING MODE-
• In this mode, operands are specified using registers. This addressing
mode is normally preferred because the instructions are compact and
fastest executing of all instruction forms.
• Registers may be used as source operands, destination operands
or both.
• Example:
• MOV AX, BX
• This instruction copies the contents of BX register into AX register. AX ← BX
3) DIRECT MEMORY ADDRESSING MODE
• In this mode, address of the operand is directly specified in the
instruction. Here only the offset address is specified, the segment being
indicated by the instruction.
• Example:
• MOV CL, [4321H]
• This instruction moves data from location 4321H in the data segment
into CL.
• The physical address is calculated as
• DS * 10H + 4321
• Assume DS = 5000H
• ∴PA = 50000 + 4321 = 54321H
• ∴CL ← [54321H]
4) REGISTER BASED INDIRECT ADDRESSING MODE
• In this mode, the effective address of the memory may be taken directly
from one of the base register or index register specified by instruction. If
register is SI, DI and BX then DS is by default segment register.
• If BP is used, then SS is by default segment register.
• Example:
• MOV CX, [BX]
• This instruction moves a word from the address pointed by BX and BX + 1
in data segment into CL and CH respectively.
• CL ← DS: [BX] and CH ← DS: [BX + 1]
• Physical address can be calculated as DS * 10H + BX.
5) REGISTER RELATIVE ADDRESSING MODE-
• In this mode, the operand address is calculated using one of the base
registers and an 8 bit or a 16 bit displacement.
• Example:
• MOV CL, [BX + 04H]
• This instruction moves a byte from the address pointed by BX + 4 in data
segment to CL.
• CL ← DS: [BX + 04H]
• Physical address can be calculated as DS * 10H + BX + 4H.
6) Base indexed addressing mode-
• Here, operand address is calculated as base register plus an index
register.
• Example:
• MOV CL, [BX + SI]
• This instruction moves a byte from the address pointed by BX + SI in data
segment to CL.
• CL ← DS: [BX + SI]
• Physical address can be calculated as DS * 10H + BX + SI.
7) RELATIVE BASED INDEXED ADDRESSING MODE
• In this mode, the address of the operand is calculated as the sum of
base register, index register and 8 bit or 16 bit displacement.
• Example:
• MOV CL, [BX + DI + 20]
• This instruction moves a byte from the address pointed by BX + DI + 20H in
data segment to CL.
• CL ← DS: [BX + DI + 20H]
• Physical address can be calculated as DS * 10H + BX + DI + 20H.
8) IMPLIED ADDRESSING MODE
• In this mode, the operands are implied and are hence not specified in
the instruction.
• Example:
• STC
• This sets the carry flag.
