The document discusses the bus structure of the 8086 microprocessor system. It describes the minimum and maximum mode configurations of the 8086. In minimum mode, the 8086 provides all control signals for memory and I/O interfacing. It details the various address, data, status, control and interrupt signals involved. Maximum mode allows for multiprocessor systems by providing additional signals for bus arbitration and shared resources. The timing diagrams of typical read and write cycles are shown for both modes. Coprocessor and closely coupled multiprocessor configurations using the 8086 are also explained.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Architecture, Programming and Design”,

24. When the Minimum mode operation is
selected, the 8086 provides all control signals
needed to implement the memory and I/O
interface.
• The minimum mode signal can be divided
into the following basic groups : address/data
bus, status, control, interrupt and DMA.
• Address/Data Bus : these lines serve two
functions. As
address bus is 20 bits long and consists of
signal lines A0 through A19. A19 represents
the MSB and A0 LSB. A 20bit address gives the
8086 a 1Mbyte memory address space. More
over it has an independent I/O address space
which is 64K bytes in length.
25. Status signal : The four most significant address
lines A19 through A16 are also multiplexed but in
this case with status signals S6 through S3. These
status bits are output on the bus at the same time
that data are transferred over the other bus lines.
• Bit S4 and S3 together from a 2 bit binary code
that
identifies which of the 8086 internal segment
registers are
used to generate the physical address that was
output on
the address bus during the current bus cycle.
26. MINIMUM MODE SIGNALS
Status line S5 reflects the status of another internal
characteristic of the 8086. It is the logic level of the
internal enable flag.
The last status bit S6 is always at the logic 0 level.
27. Control Signals – min
mode
• The control signals are provided to support the
8086 memory I/O interfaces.
• They control functions such as when the bus is to
carry a valid address in which direction data are to be
transferred over the bus, when valid write data are on
the bus and when to put read data on the system bus.
28. CONTROL SIGNALS - min mode
• ALE is a pulse to logic 1 that signals external
circuitry when a valid address word is on the bus.
This address must be latched in external circuitry
on the 1-to-0 edge of the pulse at ALE.
• • Another control signal that is produced during
the bus cycle is BHE bus high enable. Logic 0 on
this used as a memory enable signal for the most
significant byte half of the data bus D8 through
D1. These lines also serves a second function,
which is as the S7 status line
• Using the M/IO and DT/R lines, the 8086 signals
which type of bus cycle is in progress and in which
direction data are to be transferred over the bus.
29. Control Signals – min
mode
• The signal read RD and write WR indicates that a read
bus cycle or a write bus cycle is in progress.
• The 8086 switches WR to logic 0 to signal external
device that valid write or output data are on the bus.
• • On the other hand, RD indicates that the 8086 is
performing a read of data of the bus.
• During read operations, one other control signal is also
supplied. DEN ( data enable) and it signals external
devices when they should put data on the bus.
30. Control Signals – min mode
• READY signal is used to insert wait states into the bus
cycle such that it is extended by a number of clock
periods.
• This signal is provided by an external clock generator
device and can be supplied by the memory or I/O
subsystem to signal the 8086 when they are ready to
permit the data transfer to be completed.
31. Interrupt signals – minimum mode
• Interrupt signals : The key interrupt interface
signals are interrupt request (INTR) and interrupt
acknowledge ( INTA).
• • INTR is an input to the 8086 that can be used by an
external device to signal that it need to be serviced
• Logic 1 at INTR represents an active interrupt request.
• When an interrupt request has been recognized by
8086, it indicates this fact to external circuit with pulse
to logic 0 at the INTA output.
32. Interrupt signals – minimum mode
• The TEST input is also related to the external interrupt
interface.
• Execution of a WAIT instruction causes the 8086 to
check the logic level at the TEST input.
• • If the logic 1 is found, the MPU suspend operation
and goes into the idle state.
• The 8086 no longer executes instructions, instead it
repeatedly checks the logic level of the TEST input
waiting for its transition back to logic 0.
33. Interrupt signals – minimum
mode
• As TEST switches to 0, execution resume
with the next instruction in the program.
This feature can be used to synchronize
the operation of the 8086 to an event in
external hardware.
• • There are two more inputs in the
interrupt interface: non maskable
interrupt NMI and reset interrupt RESET.
• On the 0-to-1 transition of NMI control is
passed to a nonmaskable interrupt service
routine.
34. • The RESET input is used to provide a hardware
reset for the 8086.RESET = logic 0 initializes the
internal register of the 8086 and initiates a reset
service routine
35. DMA Interface signals
• direct memory access - DMA interface of 8086
minimum mode has HOLD and HLDA signals.
• When an external device wants to take control of the
system bus, it signals to the 8086 by switching HOLD
to the logic 1 level.
• At the completion of the current bus cycle, the 8086
enters the hold state. In the hold state, signal lines
AD0 through AD15, A16/S3 through A19/S6,BHE,
M/IO, DT/R, RD, WR, DEN and INTR are all in the high
Z state.
• The 8086 signals external device that it is in this state
by switching its HLDA output to logic 1
39. Minimum Mode 8086 System
•In this mode, all the control signals are given out by
the microprocessor chip itself. There is a single
microprocessor in the minimum mode system.
•The remaining components in the system are latches,
transreceivers, clock generator, memory and I/O
devices.
Some type of chip selection logic may be required for
selecting memory or I/O devices, depending upon the
address map of the system.
Latches are generally buffered output D-type flip-flops
like 74LS373 or 8282. They are used for separating the
valid address from the multiplexed address/data
signals and are controlled by the ALE signal generated
by 8086.
40. Address should
be latched since
it is available
only during
first part of the
cycle
To signal that
the address is
ready to be
latched a 1 is
put on pin 25,
the address
latch enable
(ALE) pin.
APPLICATIONS OF 8282 LATCH
41. Minimum mode 8086 system
• • Transreceivers (8286)are the bidirectional buffers
and some times they are called as data amplifiers.
They are required to separate the valid data from the
time multiplexed address/data signals.
• • They are controlled by two signals namely, DEN and
DT/R.
43. Minimum mode 8086 system
• The DEN signal indicates the direction of data, i.e. from
or to the processor.
• The system contains memory for the monitor and users
program storage.
• • Usually, EPROM are used for monitor storage, while
RAM for users program storage. A system may contain
I/O devices
44. Minimum mode 8086 system
• The clock generator generates the clock from the
crystal oscillator and then shapes it and divides to
make it more precise so that it can be used as an
accurate timing reference for the system.
• • The clock generator also synchronizes some external
signal with the system clock
• Ex: 8284 chip
47. Maximum mode -introduction
• 8086 in maximum-mode configuration, provides
signals for implementing a multiprocessor /
coprocessor system environment.
• By multiprocessor environment we mean that one
microprocessor exists in the system and that each
processor is executing its own program.
• • Usually in this type of system environment, there are
some system resources that are common to all
processors- global resources.
• other resources that are assigned to specific
processors. local or private resources.
48. Maximum mode
• Coprocessor also means that there is a second
processor in the system. In this two processors do not
access the bus at the same time.
• • One passes the control of the system bus to the
other and then may suspend its operation.
• • In the maximum-mode 8086 system, facilities are
provided for implementing allocation of global
resources and passing bus control to other
microprocessor or coprocessor

Yu-Cheng Liu, Glenn A.Gibson, “Microcomputer Systems: The 8086
/ 8088 Family - Architecture, Programming and Design”, Second
Edition, Prentice Hall of India, 2007.
63. 8086 minimum mode bus timing diagrams -
input
• During T1 – ALE –high,DEN = 1,DT/R =0
• At trailing edge of ALE,8282 latches address
• During T2,address is dropped,s3 to s7 – output on
AD16/S3 to AD19/S6 and BHE/S7 ,DEN is lowered to
enable 8286 transceivers
• For input ,RD is activated low
• During T3,Data is put on bus
• After input data is accepted by µP, RD = 1
66. INTA CYCLE – MINIMUM MODE
• If an interrupt request has been recognized during
previous cycle & an instruction has been completed,
then a –ve pulse is applied to INTA during current bus
cycle & next cycle
• Pulses extend from T2 to T4
• The I/F accepting the ACK,puts INTERRUPT TYPE on
AD7-AD0 which will be available from T2 to T4
68. Bus request and bus grant timing on a
minimum mode systemThe HOLD pin is tested
at the leading edge of
each clock pulse.
If a HOLD signal is
received by the processor
before T4 or during a T1
state, then the CPU
activates HLDA and the
succeeding bus cycle will
be given to the requesting
master until that master
drops its request.
The lowered request is
detested at the rising edge
69. 8086 -maximum mode -bus timing diagrams
- input
• S0,S1,S2 – SET prior to beginning of bus cycle
• During T1 ,8288 Bus Controller- outputs a pulse on ALE
• During T2,8288 sets DEN=1,enables transceivers
• For i/p ,it activates MRDC or IORC.These signals are
maintained till T4
• S0,S1,S2 – ACTIVE until T3,passive during T3,T4
71. 8086 -maximum mode bus timing diagrams -
output
For O/p ,it activates MWTC or IOWC from T3 to T4
72. Maximum mode – bus grant
RQ/GT is done in
sequence of 3 pulses
RQ/GT are examined
at the rising edge of
each clock pulse, if a
request is detected ,µP
will apply a grant
pulse to RQ/GT
Immediately following
next T4 or T1
RQ/GT0 has higher
priority
73. Bus grant – maximum mode
• REQUESTING MASTER gets the
bus control for one or more bus
cycles.It sends release pulse to µP
over the same line as it had sent
request

75. MULTIPROCESSOR
• Multiprocessor Systems refer to the use of
multiple processors that executes
instructions simultaneously and
communicate with each other using mail
boxes and Semaphores.
75 3-Mar-23
76. Multiprocessor Configurations
• Maximum mode of 8086 is
designed to implement 3 basic
multiprocessor configurations:
• 1. Coprocessor (8087)
• 2. Closely coupled (8089)
• 3. Loosely coupled (Multibus)
76 3-Mar-23
77. FEATURES
• Coprocessors and Closely
coupled configurations are
similar in that both the 8086 and
the external processor shares the:
• Memory
• I/O system
• Bus & bus control logic
• Clock generator
77 3-Mar-23
79. COPROCESSOR
• Ex: 8086 has no instructions
for performing floating point
arithmetic, so 8087 – Numeric
Data Processor can be its
coprocessor
• Both coprocessor and CPU execute
their instructions from the same
program, which is written in
superset of 8086 instruction set
79 3-Mar-23
80. TEST pin of 8086
• Used in conjunction with
WAIT instruction in
multiprocessing
environments.
• This is input from the
8087 Coprocessor.
• During execution of a wait
instruction, the CPU checks
this signal.
• If it is low, execution of
the signal will continue; if
80 3-Mar-23
82. Interaction b/w CPU & COP
• ESC – instruction to be executed by COP is indicated when ESC
appears in PGM sequence
• Only HOST CPU can fetch instn
• Cop receives all instructions ,monitors instn seq of host
• ESC has external op code – tells what a COP has to do
• Esc – decoded by both CPU,COP
82 3-Mar-23
83. Interaction b/w CPU & COP
• COP sends BUSY signal to host’s TEST pin
• Host CPU executes WAIT,until its TEST pin
is activated by COP
• COP must monitor host CPU status on
S2,S1,S0 & AD0-AD15 for fetched instn
• Instn stream should be monitored by
QS1,QS0
• COP maintains Instruction queue close to
CPU
83 3-Mar-23
86. 2.Closely Coupled Execution
• Closely Coupled processor – independent
processor
• To mimimize cost,independent processor can be
tied to CPU to form closely coupled system in
which both share same clock and bus control
logic independently
86 3-Mar-23
90. 3.Loosely Coupled
Configuration
• has shared system bus, system memory, and
system I/O.
• each processor has its own clock as well as its
own memory (in addition to access to the
system resources).
• Used for medium to large multiprocessor
systems.
90 3-Mar-23
91. 3.Loosely Coupled
Configuration
• Each module is capable of being
the bus master.
• Any module could be a processor
capable of being a bus master, a
coprocessor configuration or a
closely coupled configuration
91 3-Mar-23
92. Loosely Coupled Configuration
92
• No direct connections between the
modules. Each share the system bus and
communicate through shared
resources.
• Processor in their separate modules can
simultaneously access their private
subsystems through their local busses,
and perform their local data references
and instruction fetches independently.
This results in improved degree of
concurrent processing.
3-Mar-23
93. Advantages of Multiprocessor
• 1. High system throughput can
be achieved by having more
than one CPU.
• 2. The system can be expanded
in modular form.
• Each bus master module is an
independent unit and normally
resides on a separate PC board.
93 3-Mar-23
94. Advantages of Multiprocessor
• One can be added or removed without
affecting the others in the system.
• A failure in one module normally does
not affect the breakdown of the entire
system and the faulty module can be
easily detected and replaced
• Each bus master has its own local bus to
access dedicated memory or IO devices.
So a greater degree of parallel
processing can be achieved.
94 3-Mar-23
95. Loosely Coupled
Configurations
• In a loosely coupled multiprocessor
system, more than one bus master
module may have access to the
shared system bus.
• Since each master is running
independently, extra bus control logic
must be provided to resolve the bus
arbitration problem
• This extra logic is called bus access logic
and it is its responsibility to make sure
that only one bus master at a time has
control of the bus.
• Simultaneous bus requests are
resolved on a priority basis. There are
three schemes for establishing
priority:
95 3-Mar-23
98. SUMMARY
• In summary, processing modules of different
configurations may be combined to form a complex,
loosely coupled multiprocessor system.Each module in
such a system may be:
1.A single 8086 or 8088 or an independent processor
such as an 8089.
2.A cluster of processors consisting of an 8086 or 8088
and a coprocessor (such as an 8087) and/or
independent processors.
3.A cluster of independent processors (such as two
8089s).
• In addition, each module may include a local bus or a
dedicated I/O bus.

121. Multiprocessor systems - 8087
A system having two microprocessor will require only lesser time to complete
the task.
The study of a system, involving several connected microprocessors, using a
certain topology to further enhance the speed of operation is called
Multimicroprocessor Architecture.
Multimicroprocessor system consist of
• CPU
• Numeric Data Processor ( NDP ) Or / And
• Input / Output processor ( IOP )
121
122. Multiprocessor Configurations
Numeric Data Processor :
Independent Processing Unit.
Perform complicated numeric calculation in
comparatively less time.
Works in coherence with the main processor.
Input / Output Processor :
Take care of I/O activities of the system.
122
123. 123
Coprocessor
A computer processor used to supplement the function of
primary processor.
First seen on mainframe computers.
Accelerate the system performance.
Operation performed :
Floating point arithmetic
Graphic & Signal processing.
String processing.
Encryption
They are Unable to fetch the code from the memory so they
work under the control of main processor .
Both microprocessor and coprocessor can execute their
respective instructions simultaneously and concurrently.
125. 125
Intel 8087
Numeric Processor.
Packed in 40 pin ceramic DIP package.
Available in 5 MHz, 8MHz, 10MHz versions compatible with
8086, 8088, 80186, 80188.
It adds 68 new instruction to the instruction set of 8086.
How it works :
The 8087 instruction may lie interleaved in the 8086
program, but it is the task of 8086 to identify the 8087
instructions from the program, send it to 8087 for further
execution & after the completion of execution cycle the
result may be referred back to CPU.
Operation of 8087 does not require any software support
from the system software or operating system.
127. 127
Two major sections:
1) Control unit
2) Numeric Execution unit
Control Unit :
Function :
It interface the coprocessor to the
microprocessor – system data bus.
Monitors the instruction stream.
If the instruction is an ESCape (coprocessor)

These can be either be 8087 driven (output) or
externally driven (input) by the CPU
143. 143
13) RQ / GT0
The request / grant pin is used to gain control of the
bus from the host (8086/ 8088) for operand transfer.
An active low pulse of one clock duration is generated
by 8087 for the host to inform it that it wants to gain
control of the local bus either for itself or for other
coprocessor connected to RQ/ GT1 pin of 8087.
The 8087 waits for the grant pulse from the host.
When it is received, it either initiates a bus cycle if the
request is for itself or else, it passes the grant pulse
to RG/GT1, if the request is for the other coprocessor.
144. 144
14) RQ / GT1
Bidirectional pin
Used by other bus masters to convey their need of
the local bus access to 8087.
146. Interconnection of 8087 with CPU :
8087 can be connected with 8086 /80188 only in
their maximum mode of operation, ie only when the
MN/ Mx pin of CPU is grounded.
In maximum mode all the control signals are derived
using a separate chip known as a bus controller.
For 8086 and 80188/ 80186 the compactable bus
controller are 8288 and 82188 respectively.
The busy pin of 8087 is connected with the TEST pin
of the CPU.
In 8086/8088 the QS0 &QS1 lines may be directly
connected to the corresponding pins.
8259 - Programmable interrupt controller

8087 may be connected to RQ / GT1 of 8086/ 8088.
The clock pin of 8087 may be connected with the CPU
8086/ 8088 clock input.
The interrupt output of 8087 is routed to 8086/8088
via a programmable interrupt controller.
The pins AD0 – AD15 , RESET , A19 /S6 - A16 /S3 , BHE /
S7 are connected to the corresponding pin of
8086/8088.
In case of 80186/ 80188 system the RQ/ GT lines of
8087 are connected with the corresponding RQ / GT
lines of 82188.

149. The execution of 8087 instruction is
transparent to the programmer.
The instructions are fetched by 8086 but are
executed by 8087.
Whenever the 8086 comes across 8087
instruction, it executes the ESCAPE instruction
code to pass over the instruction op-code and
control of the local bus to 8087.
After execution the result is referred back.
