ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book describes the unique Intel 8088 microprocessor, the outstanding choice for 8- bit microcomputer applications requiring both high performance and low cost.
The Intel 8088 is the most powerful
Chapter 1 introduces the 8088 CPU with its key features that give it high performance, with overviews on the following topics:
•Pipelined architecture
•Register resources
•Memory addressing
It Instruction set
•System interfacing
It Functional extensions
Also an iAPX 188 overview is given.
Chapter 2 provides a detailed discussion of the programmer's architecture including:
•Register set
•Addressing modes It Instruction set
•Assembly language
At the end of Chapter 2 is a complete set of instruction set reference pages that describe each instruction fully, one at a time.
Chapter 3 provides necessary information for the hardware designer to incorporate the 8088 microprocessor into cost effective iAPX* 88 microcomputer systems. Included is a discussion of the following:
•Bus Timing and Status
•Bus Interface including interface to MUX bus devices
•Memory and Peripheral Interface
•Wait States
•Interrupts
•Direct Memory Access
•Reset
•Building Large Systems
Chapter 4 gives some specific 8088 system design examples for the simple to complex systems:
•Multiplexed bus small systems
•Demultiplexed systems with standard mem- ories and peripherals
•SlOO Bus System
•iAPX 88 based CRT
•MULTIBUS™ System
The Supplement provides an introduction to microcomputer concepts and terminology including:
•What is a microcomputer?
.. What's inside the CPU?
•What are machine cycles?
•What are addressing modes?
