About this document
Overview of 8086 Microprocessor Architecture by Ajay Eadake is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The 8086 microprocessor is a 16-bit processor with a 16-bit ALU, 16-bit data bus, and 20-bit address bus, allowing it to access up to 1 megabyte of memory. It has two main components - the Bus Interface Unit which fetches instructions and data from memory, and the Execution Unit which decodes and executes instructions. The 8086 uses segment registers and offsets to generate physical 20-bit addresses, allowing memory to be divided into segments.
