The document provides information on the 8086 microprocessor, including:
- It was designed by Intel in the late 1970s and was used in early PCs.
- It has a 16-bit architecture and 20-bit address bus, allowing access to 1MB of memory.
- The 8086 CPU logic is partitioned into a Bus Interface Unit and Execution Unit, with the BIU handling bus operations and the EU executing instructions.
- The BIU generates physical addresses from logical addresses using segment registers and the instruction pointer. It also contains an instruction queue and registers.
- The EU contains general purpose registers, flags, and an ALU for arithmetic and logical operations.
