Intel 8086 microprocessor architecture with memory, interrupts, I/O ports, registers, instruction set and addressing modes

Memory of 8086 microprocessor

All stacks, program and data occupy similar memory space and the total memory available for holding addresses is just 1MB. The addresses used by processors are mostly of 16 bit which thereby allows only 1024kb/16=64kb of address pointers to be handled effectively. If there is a need to access memory outside this 1MB allotted memory then the CPU uses special segment registers to specify the location of the code, stack and data 64 KB segments in the 1MB of memory. (refer the “Register” section below) 16-bit pointers and data are stored as: address: low-order byte address+1: high-order byte 32-bit addresses are stored in "segment:offset" format as: address: low-order byte of segment address+1: high-order byte of segment address+2: low-order byte of offset address+3: high-order byte of offset Physical memory address pointed by segment: offset pair is calculated as: address = ( * 16) +  

How to become a CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, career opportunities, scope and qualifications

This article mentions how to proceed for a CCIE course, the opportunities this course offers, future prospects, training facilities, examination charges and a lot more CCIE stands for Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert. It is a professional degree in network security awarded by Cisco Systems after the completion of a rigorous test. It is a highly reputed certification worldwide and in the whole globe there are approximately only about 100,000 certified CCIE professionals. It is considered a higher level of certification than the CCNA. Getting a CCIE degree is sort of guarantee for a bright future and high paying job. Taken on a average a CCIE professional gets about $25,000 higher pay than a CCNA professional and about $50,000 higher than an uncertified network professional.

What is the advantage of using a power over Ethernet injector?

A power over Ethernet injector is a device which allows the transfer of both data and power over the same cable system rather than the two cables normally required for this purpose. This type of cable follows the IEEE standards and finds use in numerous modern communication devices some of which are network routers, network webcams, VoIP phones, network time protocol wall clocks, hallway amplifier speakers, mini network switches, wireless access points and network systems such as intercom, paging and public address systems. The use of Ethernet injector in PoE circuitry is highly preferred due to numerous advantages it offers. The advantages of power over Ethernet injector are:

What are the differences between 8085 and 8086 microprocessors?

The differences between 8085 and 8086 microprocessors are:
  1. 8085 microprocessor was developed in 1977 whereas 8086 was developed in 1978.
  2. 8085 microprocessor is a 8 bit microprocessor whereas 8086 is a 16 bit microprocessor.
  3. 8085 contains 16 bit address bus and 8086 microprocessor contains 20 bit address bus.
  4. 8085 microprocessor contains 8 bit data bus and 8086 contains 16 bit data bus.
  5. The clock speed of 8085 microprocessor is 3MHz whereas in case of 8086 microprocessor the clock speed can vary between 5, 8 and 10 for three different 8086 microprocessors.
  6. 8085 microprocessor does not have memory segmentation whereas 8086 features a special concept of memory segmentation which allows parallel processing.
