Explores the Micro's Internal Organization, Instruction Set, Programming Techniques, Input/Output & Register Management

This hands-on guide helps develop programming skills on the 8086-based microcomputers. Introduces readers to assembly language programming through a comprehensive set of input/output procedures and useful subroutines for the most popular 8086-based operating systems. Covering fundamental data types, segmentation, assembler operation and modular programming, these routines let users apply assembly language ``shortcuts'' and programming techniques to specific applications. Offers a brief outline of the design of the l6-bit microprocessor and the architecture of the 8086 including the 80286 family of chips, presents the essentials on binary and hexadecimal numbers and shows how to write and execute a program. The complete instruction set is presented in the last nine chapters.

Keeping students on the forefront of technology, this text offers a practical reference to all programming and interfacing aspects of the popular Intel microprocessor family.

This book presents the full range of Intel 80x86 microprocessors, in context as a component of a comprehensive microprocessor system. It provides a thorough, single volume coverage of all Intel processors relative to their application in the PC, and is as much an introduction to the PC itself as to Intel chips. Covers all PC-related technologies, including memory, data communications, and PC bus standards. The second edition of The 8086/8088 Family: Design, Programming, and Interfacing has been revised to include the latest, most up-to-date information and technologies. This edition now covers Windows; a description of the MS-DOS BIOS services and function calls; two completely revised software chapters; an updated chapter on memory; coverage of the 16550 UART and common modern standards; and a new chapter on PC architecture and the common bus systems.
