Microprocessor Addressing Modes
Every instruction of a program has to operate on a data.
The different ways in which a source operand is denoted
in an instruction are known as addressing modes.
1. Register Addressing
Group I : Addressing modes for
2. Immediate Addressing register and immediate data
3. Direct Addressing
4. Register Indirect Addressing
5. Based Addressing
Group II : Addressing modes for
6. Indexed Addressing memory data
7. Based Indexed Addressing
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
8086 Group I : Addressing modes for
Microprocessor Addressing Modes register and immediate data
1. Register Addressing The instruction will specify the name of the
register which holds the data to be operated by
2. Immediate Addressing the instruction.
3. Direct Addressing Example:
4. Register Indirect Addressing
MOV CL, DH
5. Based Addressing
The content of 8-bit register DH is moved to
6. Indexed Addressing another 8-bit register CL
7. Based Indexed Addressing (CL) (DH)
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
8086 Group I : Addressing modes for
Microprocessor Addressing Modes register and immediate data
1. Register Addressing
In immediate addressing mode, an 8-bit or 16-bit
2. Immediate Addressing data is specified as part of the instruction
3. Direct Addressing
Example:
4. Register Indirect Addressing
MOV DL, 08H
5. Based Addressing
The 8-bit data (08H) given in the instruction is
6. Indexed Addressing moved to DL
7. Based Indexed Addressing (DL) 08H
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
MOV AX, 0A9FH
The 16-bit data (0A9FH) given in the instruction is
moved to AX register
(AX) 0A9FH

Microprocessor Addressing Modes : Memory Access
20 Address lines 8086 can address up to
220 = 1M bytes of memory
However, the largest register is only 16 bits
Physical Address will have to be calculated
Physical Address : Actual address of a byte in
memory. i.e. the value which goes out onto the
address bus.
Memory Address represented in the form –
Seg : Offset (Eg - 89AB:F012)
Each time the processor wants to access
memory, it takes the contents of a segment
register, shifts it one hexadecimal place to the
16 bytes of
left (same as multiplying by 16 10), then add the contiguous memory
required offset to form the 20- bit address
89AB : F012 89AB 89AB0 (Paragraph to byte 89AB x 10 = 89AB0)
F012 0F012 (Offset is already in byte unit)
+ -------
98AC2 (The absolute address)
8086 Group II : Addressing modes
Microprocessor Addressing Modes for memory data
1. Register Addressing
2. Immediate Addressing
In direct addressing mode the operand’s offset
3. Direct Addressing
is given in the instruction as an 8-bit or 16-bit
4. Register Indirect Addressing displacement element.
5. Based Addressing Examples are:
6. Indexed Addressing MOV BX, [1354H]
MOV BL, [0400H]
7. Based Indexed Addressing
The square brackets around the 1354H
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
denotes the contents of the memory location.
When executed, this instruction will copy the
contents of the memory location into BX
register.
This addressing mode is called direct because
the displacement of the operand from the
segment base is specified directly in the
instruction.
8086 Group II : Addressing modes
Microprocessor Addressing Modes for memory data
1. Register Addressing In Register indirect addressing, operand’s offset
is placed in any one of the registers BX, BP, SI
2. Immediate Addressing or DI as specified in the instruction.
3. Direct Addressing Example:
MOV CX, [BX]
4. Register Indirect Addressing
ADD AL, [SI]
5. Based Addressing
6. Indexed Addressing
7. Based Indexed Addressing
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
8086 Group II : Addressing modes
Microprocessor Addressing Modes for memory data
1. Register Addressing In Based Addressing, operand’s offset is the
sum of an 8-bit or 16-bit displacement and the
2. Immediate Addressing contents of the base register BX or BP. BX is
used as a base register for data segment, and
3. Direct Addressing BP is used as a base register for stack segment.
4. Register Indirect Addressing Offset (Effective address)= [BX + 8-bit or 16-bit
displacement]
5. Based Addressing
Examples are:
6. Indexed Addressing
MOV AL, [BX + 05H]
7. Based Indexed Addressing
8. Based Indexed with Displacement MOV AL, [BX + 1346H]
8086 Group II : Addressing modes
Microprocessor Addressing Modes for memory data
1. Register Addressing The operand’s offset is the sum of the content
of an index register SI or DI and an 8-bit or 16-
2. Immediate Addressing bit displacement.
3. Direct Addressing Offset (Effective address)= [SI or DI + 8-bit or
16-bit displacement]
4. Register Indirect Addressing
5. Based Addressing MOV AX, [SI + 05]
MOV AX, [SI + 1528H]
6. Indexed Addressing
7. Based Indexed Addressing
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
8086 Group II : Addressing modes
Microprocessor Addressing Modes for memory data
1. Register Addressing In Based Index Addressing, the operand’s
offset is the sum of the content of a base
2. Immediate Addressing register BX or BP and an index register SI or DI.
3. Direct Addressing Offset (Effective address)= [BX or BP]+ [SI or
DI]
4. Register Indirect Addressing
Examples are:
5. Based Addressing
ADD AX, [BX + SI]
6. Indexed Addressing
MOV CX, [BX + SI]
7. Based Indexed Addressing
8. Based Indexed with Displacement
8086 Group II : Addressing modes

1. Register Addressing In this mode of addressing the operand’s offset
is given by
2. Immediate Addressing
Offset (Effective address)= [BX or BP]+ [SI or

4. Register Indirect Addressing Examples are:
5. Based Addressing MOV AX, [BX + SI + 05]
6. Indexed Addressing

7. Based Indexed Addressing
