/GT1.RQ/GT pins have internal pull-up resistors and
may be left unconnected. The request/grant sequence is as follows
(see Page 2-24):
1. A pulse of 1 CLK wide from another local bus master indicates a local
bus request (‘‘hold’’) to the 8086 (pulse 1).
2. During a T4or T1clock cycle, a pulse 1 CLK wide from the 8086 to
the requesting master (pulse 2), indicates that the 8086 has allowed the
local bus to float and that it will enter the ‘‘hold acknowledge’’ state at
the next CLK. The CPU’s bus interface unit is disconnected logically
from the local bus during ‘‘hold acknowledge’’.
3. A pulse 1 CLK wide from the requesting master indicates to the 8086
(pulse 3) that the ‘‘hold’’ request is about to end and that the 8086 can
reclaim the local bus at the next CLK.
Each master-master exchange of the local bus is a sequence of 3
pulses. There must be one dead CLK cycle after each bus exchange.

the processor will float the local bus and control lines. After HOLD is
detected as being LOW, the processor will LOWer the HLDA, and when the
processor needs to run another cycle, it will again drive the local bus and
control lines. Hold acknowledge (HLDA) and HOLD have internal pull-up
resistors.

HOLD is not an asynchronous input. External synchronization should be

8086
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Operation
The internal functions of the 8086 processor are
partitioned logically into two processing units. The
first is the Bus Interface Unit (BIU) and the second is
the Execution Unit (EU) as shown in the block diagram of Figure 1.
These units can interact directly but for the most
part perform as separate asynchronous operational
processors. The bus interface unit provides the functions related to instruction fetching and queuing, operand fetch and store, and address relocation. This
unit also provides the basic bus control. The overlap
of instruction pre-fetching provided by this unit
serves to increase processor performance through
improved bus bandwidth utilization. Up to 6 bytes of
the instruction stream can be queued while waiting
for decoding and execution.
The instruction stream queuing mechanism allows
the BIU to keep the memory utilized very efficiently.
Whenever there is space for at least 2 bytes in the
queue, the BIU will attempt a word fetch memory
cycle. This greatly reduces ‘‘dead time’’ on the
memory bus. The queue acts as a First-In-First-Out
(FIFO) buffer, from which the EU extracts instruction
bytes as required. If the queue is empty (following a
branch instruction, for example), the first byte into
the queue immediately becomes available to the EU.
The execution unit receives pre-fetched instructions
from the BIU queue and provides un-relocated operand addresses to the BIU. Memory operands are
passed through the BIU for processing by the EU,
which passes results to the BIU for storage. See the
Instruction Set description for further register set
and architectural descriptions.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The processor provides a 20-bit address to memory
which locates the byte being referenced. The memory is organized as a linear array of up to 1 million
bytes, addressed as 00000(H) to FFFFF(H). The
memory is logically divided into code, data, extra
data, and stack segments of up to 64K bytes each,
with each segment falling on 16-byte boundaries.
(See Figure 3a.)
All memory references are made relative to base addresses contained in high speed segment registers.
The segment types were chosen based on the addressing needs of programs. The segment register
to be selected is automatically chosen according to
the rules of the following table. All information in one
segment type share the same logical attributes (e.g.
code or data). By structuring memory into relocatable areas of similar characteristics and by automatically selecting segment registers, programs are
shorter, faster, and more structured.
Word (16-bit) operands can be located on even or
odd address boundaries and are thus not constrained to even boundaries as is the case in many
16-bit computers. For address and data operands,
the least significant byte of the word is stored in the
lower valued address location and the most significant byte in the next higher address location. The
BIU automatically performs the proper number of
memory accesses, one if the word operand is on an
even byte boundary and two if it is on an odd byte
boundary. Except for the performance penalty, this
double access is transparent to the software. This
performance penalty does not occur for instruction
fetches, only word operands.
Physically, the memory is organized as a high bank
(D

Figure 3a. Memory Organization
In referencing word data the BIU requires one or two
memory cycles depending on whether or not the
starting byte of the word is on an even or odd address, respectively. Consequently, in referencing
word operands performance can be optimized by locating data on even address boundaries. This is an
especially useful technique for using the stack, since
odd address references to the stack may adversely
affect the context switching time for interrupt processing or task multiplexing.
8086
address FFFF0H through FFFFFH are reserved for
operations including a jump to the initial program
loading routine. Following RESET, the CPU will always begin execution at location FFFF0H where the
jump must be. Locations 00000H through 003FFH
are reserved for interrupt operations. Each of the
256 possible interrupt types has its service routine
pointed to by a 4-byte pointer element consisting of
a 16-bit segment address and a 16-bit offset address. The pointer elements are assumed to have
been stored at the respective places in reserved
memory prior to occurrence of interrupts.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM MODES
The requirements for supporting minimum and maximum 8086 systems are sufficiently different that
they cannot be done efficiently with 40 uniquely defined pins. Consequently, the 8086 is equipped with
a strap pin (MN/MX
figuration. The definition of a certain subset of the
pins changes dependent on the condition of the
strap pin. When MN/MX

An 8288 bus controller interprets status information

the 8086 generates bus control signals itself on pins
24 through 31, as shown in parentheses in Figure 2.
Examples of minimum mode and maximum mode
systems are shown in Figure 4.
BUS OPERATION
The 8086 has a combined address and data bus
commonly referred to as a time multiplexed bus.
This technique provides the most efficient use of
pins on the processor while permitting the use of a
standard 40-lead package. This ‘‘local bus’’ can be
buffered directly and used throughout the system
with address latching provided on memory and I/O
modules. In addition, the bus can also be demultiplexed at the processor with a single set of address
latches if a standard non-multiplexed bus is desired
for the system.

External Interface
PROCESSOR RESET AND INITIALIZATION
Processor initialization or start up is accomplished
with activation (HIGH) of the RESET pin. The 8086
RESET is required to be HIGH for greater than 4
CLK cycles. The 8086 will terminate operations on
the high-going edge of RESET and will remain dormant as long as RESET is HIGH. The low-going
transition of RESET triggers an internal reset sequence for approximately 10 CLK cycles. After this
interval the 8086 operates normally beginning with
the instruction in absolute location FFFF0H (see Figure 3b). The details of this operation are specified in
the Instruction Set description of the MCS-86 Family
User’s Manual. The RESET input is internally synchronized to the processor clock. At initialization the
HIGH-to-LOW transition of RESET must occur no
sooner than 50 ms after power-up, to allow complete
initialization of the 8086.
NMI asserted prior to the 2nd clock after the end of
RESET will not be honored. If NMI is asserted after
that point and during the internal reset sequence,
the processor may execute one instruction before
responding to the interrupt. A hold request active
immediately after RESET will be honored before the
first instruction fetch.
All 3-state outputs float to 3-state OFF during
RESET. Status is active in the idle state for the first
clock after RESET becomes active and then floats
to 3-state OFF. ALE and HLDA are driven low.
INTERRUPT OPERATIONS
Interrupt operations fall into two classes; software or
hardware initiated. The software initiated interrupts
and software aspects of hardware interrupts are
specified in the Instruction Set description. Hardware interrupts can be classified as non-maskable or
maskable.
Interrupts result in a transfer of control to a new pro-
.
gram location. A 256-element table containing address pointers to the interrupt service program locations resides in absolute locations 0 through 3FFH
(see Figure 3b), which are reserved for this purpose.
Each element in the table is 4 bytes in size and
corresponds to an interrupt ‘‘type’’. An interrupting
device supplies an 8-bit type number, during the interrupt acknowledge sequence, which is used to
‘‘vector’’ through the appropriate element to the new
interrupt service program location.
NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT (NMI)
The processor provides a single non-maskable interrupt pin (NMI) which has higher priority than the
maskable interrupt request pin (INTR). A typical use
would be to activate a power failure routine. The
NMI is edge-triggered on a LOW-to-HIGH transition.
The activation of this pin causes a type 2 interrupt.
(See Instruction Set description.)
NMI is required to have a duration in the HIGH state
of greater than two CLK cycles, but is not required to
be synchronized to the clock. Any high-going transition of NMI is latched on-chip and will be serviced
at the end of the current instruction or between
whole moves of a block-type instruction. Worst case
response to NMI would be for multiply, divide, and
variable shift instructions. There is no specification
on the occurrence of the low-going edge; it may occur before, during, or after the servicing of NMI. Another high-going edge triggers another response if it
occurs after the start of the NMI procedure. The signal must be free of logical spikes in general and be
free of bounces on the low-going edge to avoid triggering extraneous responses.
10
8086
MASKABLE INTERRUPT (INTR)
The 8086 provides a single interrupt request input
(INTR) which can be masked internally by software
with the resetting of the interrupt enable FLAG
status bit. The interrupt request signal is level triggered. It is internally synchronized during each clock
cycle on the high-going edge of CLK. To be responded to, INTR must be present (HIGH) during
the clock period preceding the end of the current
instruction or the end of a whole move for a blocktype instruction. During the interrupt response sequence further interrupts are disabled. The enable
bit is reset as part of the response to any interrupt
(INTR, NMI, software interrupt or single-step), although the FLAGS register which is automatically
pushed onto the stack reflects the state of the processor prior to the interrupt. Until the old FLAGS register is restored the enable bit will be zero unless
specifically set by an instruction.
During the response sequence (Figure 6) the processor executes two successive (back-to-back) interrupt acknowledge cycles. The 8086 emits the LOCK
signal from T
second. A local bus ‘‘hold’’ request will not be hon-
of the first bus cycle until T2of the
2
ored until the end of the second bus cycle. In the
second bus cycle a byte is fetched from the external
interrupt system (e.g., 8259A PIC) which identifies
the source (type) of the interrupt. This byte is multiplied by four and used as a pointer into the interrupt
vector lookup table. An INTR signal left HIGH will be
continually responded to within the limitations of the
enable bit and sample period. The INTERRUPT RETURN instruction includes a FLAGS pop which returns the status of the original interrupt enable bit
when it restores the FLAGS.
HALT
When a software ‘‘HALT’’ instruction is executed the
processor indicates that it is entering the ‘‘HALT’’
state in one of two ways depending upon which
mode is strapped. In minimum mode, the processor
issues one ALE with no qualifying bus control signals. In maximum mode, the processor issues appropriate HALT status on S
8288 bus controller issues one ALE. The 8086 will
, and S0; and the
2,S1
not leave the ‘‘HALT’’ state when a local bus ‘‘hold’’
is entered while in ‘‘HALT’’. In this case, the processor reissues the HALT indicator. An interrupt request
or RESET will force the 8086 out of the ‘‘HALT’’
state.
READ/MODIFY/WRITE (SEMAPHORE)
OPERATIONS VIA LOCK
The LOCK
status information is provided by the
processor when directly consecutive bus cycles are
required during the execution of an instruction. This provides the processor with the capability
of performing read/modify/write operations on
memory (via the Exchange Register With Memory
instruction, for example) without the possibility of another system bus master receiving intervening memory cycles. This is useful in multi-processor system
configurations to accomplish ‘‘test and set lock’’ operations. The LOCK
signal is activated (forced LOW)
in the clock cycle following the one in which the software ‘‘LOCK’’ prefix instruction is decoded by the
EU. It is deactivated at the end of the last bus cycle
of the instruction following the ‘‘LOCK’’ prefix instruction. While LOCK
is active a request on a RQ/

8086
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION VIA TEST
As an alternative to the interrupts and general I/O
capabilities, the 8086 provides a single softwaretestable input known as the TEST
signal. At any time
the program may execute a WAIT instruction. If at
that time the TEST
signal is inactive (HIGH), program execution becomes suspended while the processor waits for TEST
to become active. It must
remain active for at least 5 CLK cycles. The WAIT
instruction is re-executed repeatedly until that time.
This activity does not consume bus cycles. The
processor remains in an idle state while waiting. All
8086 drivers go to 3-state OFF if bus ‘‘Hold’’ is entered. If interrupts are enabled, they may occur while
the processor is waiting. When this occurs the processor fetches the WAIT instruction one extra time,
processes the interrupt, and then re-fetches and reexecutes the WAIT instruction upon returning from
the interrupt.
Basic System Timing
Typical system configurations for the processor operating in minimum mode and in maximum mode are
shown in Figures 4a and 4b, respectively. In minimum mode, the MN/MX
the processor emits bus control signals in a manner
similar to the 8085. In maximum mode, the MN/MX
pin is strapped to VSSand the processor emits coded status information which the 8288 bus controller
uses to generate MULTIBUS compatible bus control
signals. Figure 5 illustrates the signal timing relationships.
pin is strapped to VCCand
SYSTEM TIMINGÐMINIMUM SYSTEM
The read cycle begins in T
Address Latch Enable (ALE) signal. The trailing (low-
with the assertion of the
1
going) edge of this signal is used to latch the address information, which is valid on the local bus at
this time, into the address latch. The BHE
and A
signals address the low, high, or both bytes. From T
to T4the M/IO signal indicates a memory or I/O
operation. At T
local bus and the bus goes to a high impedance
the address is removed from the
2
state. The read control signal is also asserted at T
The read (RD
) signal causes the addressed device
to enable its data bus drivers to the local bus. Some
time later valid data will be available on the bus and
the addressed device will drive the READY line
HIGH. When the processor returns the read signal to
a HIGH level, the addressed device will again 3state its bus drivers. If a transceiver is required to
buffer the 8086 local bus, signals DT/R
and DEN
are provided by the 8086.
A write cycle also begins with the assertion of ALE
and the emission of the address. The M/IO
signal is
again asserted to indicate a memory or I/O write
operation. In the T
dress emission the processor emits the data to be
immediately following the ad-
2
written into the addressed location. This data remains valid until the middle of T
the processor asserts the write control signal.

The write (WR
ning of T

as opposed to the read which is delayed

to provide time for the bus to float.

I/O ports are addressed in the same manner as
memory location. Even addressed bytes are transferred on the D
bytes on D
15–D8
bus lines and odd addressed
7–D0
.
The basic difference between the interrupt acknowledge cycle and a read cycle is that the interrupt acknowledge signal (INTA) is asserted in place of the
read (RD
) signal and the address bus is floated.
(See Figure 6.) In the second of two successive
INTA cycles, a byte of information is read from bus
8086
lines D7–D0as supplied by the inerrupt system logic
(i.e., 8259A Priority Interrupt Controller). This byte
identifies the source (type) of the interrupt. It is multiplied by four and used as a pointer into an interrupt
vector lookup table, as described earlier.
BUS TIMINGÐMEDIUM SIZE SYSTEMS
For medium size systems the MN/MX
nected to V
to the system as well as a latch for latching the sys-
and the 8288 Bus Controller is added
SS
pin is con-
tem address, and a transceiver to allow for bus loading greater than the 8086 is capable of handling.
Signals ALE, DEN, and DT/R are generated by the
8288 instead of the processor in this configuration
although their timing remains relatively the same.
The 8086 status outputs (S
type-of-cycle information and become 8288 inputs.
, and S0) provide
2,S1
This bus cycle information specifies read (code,
data, or I/O), write (data or I/O), interrupt
acknowledge, or software halt. The 8288 thus issues
control signals specifying memory read or write, I/O
read or write, or interrupt acknowledge. The 8288
provides two types of write strobes, normal and advanced, to be applied as required. The normal write
strobes have data valid at the leading edge of write.
The advanced write strobes have the same timing
as read strobes, and hence data isn’t valid at the
leading edge of write. The transceiver receives the
usual DIR and G
inputs from the 8288’s DT/R and
DEN.
The pointer into the interrupt vector table, which is
passed during the second INTA cycle, can derive
from an 8259A located on either the local bus or the
system bus. If the master 8259A Priority Interrupt
Controller is positioned on the local bus, a TTL gate
is required to disable the transceiver when reading
from the master 8259A during the interrupt acknowledge sequence and software ‘‘poll’’.
