PREFACE
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
AMD has a strong history in x86 architecture and its E86™ family meets customer
requirements of low system cost, high performance, quality vendor reputation, quick time
to market, and an easy upgrade strategy.
The 16-bit Am186™ and Am188™ family of microcontrollers is based on the architecture
of the original 8086 and 8088 microcontrollers, and currently includes the 80C186, 80C188,
80L186, 80L188, Am186EM, Am186EMLV, Am186ER, Am186ES, Am186ESLV,
Am188EM, Am188EMLV, Am188ER, Am188ES, and Am188ESLV. Throughout this
manual, the term Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers refers to any of these microcontrollers
as well as future members based on the same core.
The Am186EM/ER/ES and Am188EM/ES/ER microcontrollers build on the 80C186/
80C188 microcontroller cores and offer 386-class performance while lowering system cost.
Designers can reduce the cost, size, and power consumption of embedded systems, while
increasing performance and functionality. This is achieved by integrating key system
peripherals onto the microcontroller. These low-cost, high-performance microcontrollers for
embedded systems provide a natural migration path for 80C186/80C188 designs that need
performance and cost enhancements.
PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
Each member of the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers shares the standard 186
instruction set. This manual describes that instruction set. Details on technical features of
family members can be found in the user’s manual for that specific device. Additional
information is available in the form of data sheets, application notes, and other
documentation provided with software products and hardware-development tools.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This manual is intended for computer hardware and software engineers and system
architects who are designing or are considering designing systems based on the Am186
and Am188 family of microcontrollers.
MANUAL OVERVIEW

CHAPTER

PROGRAMMING
All members of the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers contain the same basic
set of registers, instructions, and addressing modes, and are compatible with the original
industry-standard 186/188 parts.
1.1
REGISTER SET
The base architecture for Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers has 14 registers (see Figure
1-1), which are controlled by the instructions detailed in this manual. These registers are
grouped into the following categories.
n General Registers—Eight 16-bit general purpose registers can be used for arithmetic
and logical operands. Four of these (AX, BX, CX, and DX) can be used as 16-bit registers
or split into pairs of separate 8-bit registers (AH, AL, BH, BL, CH, CL, DH, and DL). The
Destination Index (DI) and Source Index (SI) general-purpose registers are used for
data movement and string instructions. The Base Pointer (BP) and Stack Pointer (SP)
general-purpose registers are used for the stack segment and point to the bottom and
top of the stack, respectively.
– Base and Index Registers—Four of the general-purpose registers (BP, BX, DI, and
SI) can also be used to determine offset addresses of operands in memory. These
registers can contain base addresses or indexes to particular locations within a
segment. The addressing mode selects the specific registers for operand and address
calculations.
– Stack Pointer Register—All stack operations (POP, POPA, POPF, PUSH, PUSHA,
PUSHF) utilize the stack pointer. The Stack Pointer (SP) register is always offset
from the Stack Segment (SS) register, and no segment override is allowed.
n Segment Registers—Four 16-bit special-purpose registers (CS, DS, ES, and SS)
select, at any given time, the segments of memory that are immediately addressable
for code (CS), data (DS and ES), and stack (SS) memory.
n Status and Control Registers—Two 16-bit special-purpose registers record or alter certain
aspects of the processor state—the Instruction Pointer (IP) register contains the offset
address of the next sequential instruction to be executed and the Processor Status Flags
(FLAGS) register contains status and control flag bits (see Figure 1-2).
Note that all members of the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers have additional
peripheral registers, which are external to the processor. These peripheral registers are
not directly accessible by the instruction set. However, because the processor treats these
peripheral registers like memory, instructions that have operands that access memory can
also access peripheral registers. The above processor registers, as well as the additional
peripheral registers, are described in the user’s manual for each specific part.

Processor Status Flags Register
The 16-bit processor status flags register (see Figure 1-2) records specific characteristics
of the result of logical and arithmetic instructions (bits 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11) and controls the
operation of the microcontroller within a given operating mode (bits 8, 9, and 10).
After an instruction is executed, the value of a flag may be set (to 1), cleared/reset (to 0),
unchanged, or undefined. The term undefined means that the flag value prior to the execution
of the instruction is not preserved, and the value of the flag after the instruction is executed cannot
be predicted. The documentation for each instruction indicates how each flag bit is affected by
that instruction.

Bit 10: Direction Flag (DF)—Causes string instructions to auto decrement the appropriate

CPU to transfer control to a location specified by an interrupt vector. See the CLI and STI
instructions, respectively, for how to clear and set the Interrupt-Enable Flag.
Bit 8: Trace Flag (TF)—When set, a trace interrupt occurs after instructions execute. TF
is cleared by the trace interrupt after the processor status flags are pushed onto the stack.
The trace service routine can continue tracing by popping the flags back with an IRET
instruction.
Bit 7: Sign Flag (SF)—Set equal to high-order bit of result (set to 0 if 0 or positive, 1 if
negative).
Bit 6: Zero Flag (ZF)—Set if result is 0; cleared otherwise.
Bit 5: Reserved
Bit 4: Auxiliary Carry (AF)—Set on carry from or borrow to the low-order 4 bits of the AL
general-purpose register; cleared otherwise.
Bit 3: Reserved
Bit 2: Parity Flag (PF)—Set if low-order 8 bits of result contain an even number of 1 bits;
cleared otherwise.
Bit 1: Reserved
Bit 0: Carry Flag (CF)—Set on high-order bit carry or borrow; cleared otherwise. See the
CLC, CMC, and STC instructions, respectively, for how to clear, toggle, and set the Carry
Flag. You can use CF to indicate the outcome of a procedure, such as when searching a
string for a character. For instance, if the character is found, you can use STC to set CF to
1; if the character is not found, you can use CLC to clear CF to 0. Then, subsequent
instructions that do not affect CF can use its value to determine the appropriate course of
action.
1.2
INSTRUCTION SET
Each member of the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers shares the standard 186
instruction set. An instruction can reference from zero to several operands. An operand
can reside in a register, in the instruction itself, or in memory. Specific operand addressing
modes are discussed on page 1-7.
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the instruction set, describing the format of the
instructions. Chapter 3 lists all the instructions for the Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers
in both functional and alphabetical order. Chapter 4 details each instruction.
1.3
MEMORY ORGANIZATION AND ADDRESS GENERATION
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers organize memory in sets of segments. Memory
is addressed using a two-component address that consists of a 16-bit segment value and
a 16-bit offset. Each segment is a linear contiguous sequence of 64K (216) 8-bit bytes of
memory in the processor’s address space. The offset is the number of bytes from the
beginning of the segment (the segment address) to the data or instruction which is being
accessed.
The processor forms the physical address of the target location by taking the segment
address, shifting it to the left 4 bits (multiplying by 16), and adding this to the 16-bit offset.
Programming
1-3
The result is a 20-bit address of the target data or instruction. This allows for a 1-Mbyte physical
address size.
For example, if the segment register is loaded with 12A4h and the offset is 0022h, the
resultant address is 12A62h (see Figure 1-3). To find the result:
1. The segment register contains 12A4h.
2. The segment register is shifted 4 places and is now 12A40h.
3. The offset is 0022h.
4. The shifted segment address (12A40h) is added to the offset (00022h) to get 12A62h.
5. This address is placed on the address bus pins of the controller.
All instructions that address operands in memory must specify (implicitly or explicitly) a 16bit segment value and a 16-bit offset value. The 16-bit segment values are contained in one
of four internal segment registers (CS, DS, ES, and SS). See "Addressing Modes” on page
1-7 for more information on calculating the segment and offset values. See "Segments" on
page 1-5 for more information on the CS, DS, ES, and SS registers.
In addition to memory space, all Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers provide 64K of I/O space
(see Figure 1-4). The I/O space is described on page 1-5.

I/O SPACE
The I/O space consists of 64K 8-bit or 32K 16-bit ports. The IN and OUT instructions address
the I/O space with either an 8-bit port address specified in the instruction, or a 16-bit port
address in the DX register. 8-bit port addresses are zero-extended so that A15–A8 are
Low. I/O port addresses 00F8h through 00FFh are reserved. The Am186 and Am188
microcontrollers provide specific instructions for addressing I/O space.
1.5
SEGMENTS
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers use four segment registers:
1. Data Segment (DS): The processor assumes that all accesses to the program’s
variables are from the 64K space pointed to by the DS register. The data segment holds
data, operands, etc.
2. Code Segment (CS): This 64K space is the default location for all instructions. All code
must be executed from the code segment.
3. Stack Segment (SS): The processor uses the SS register to perform operations that
involve the stack, such as pushes and pops. The stack segment is used for temporary
space.
4. Extra Segment (ES): Usually this segment is used for large string operations and for
large data structures. Certain string instructions assume the extra segment as the
segment portion of the address. The extra segment is also used (by using segment
override) as a spare data segment.
When a segment register is not specified for a data movement instruction, it’s assumed to
be a data segment. An instruction prefix can be used to override the segment register (see
"Segment Override Prefix" on page 2-2).For speed and compact instruction encoding, the
segment register used for physical-address generation is implied by the addressing mode
used (see Table 1-1).

1.6
DATA TYPES
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers directly support the following data types:
n Integer—A signed binary numeric value contained in an 8-bit byte or a 16-bit word. All
operations assume a two’s complement representation.
n Ordinal—An unsigned binary numeric value contained in an 8-bit byte or a 16-bit word.
n Double Word—A signed binary numeric value contained in two sequential 16-bit
addresses, or in a DX::AX register pair.
n Quad Word—A signed binary numeric value contained in four sequential 16-bit
addresses.
n BCD—An unpacked byte representation of the decimal digits 0–9.
Programming
1-5
n ASCII—A byte representation of alphanumeric and control characters using the ASCII
standard of character representation.
n Packed BCD—A packed byte representation of two decimal digits (0–9). One digit is
stored in each nibble (4 bits) of the byte.
n String—A contiguous sequence of bytes or words. A string can contain from 1 byte up
to 64 Kbyte.
n Pointer—A 16-bit or 32-bit quantity, composed of a 16-bit offset component or a 16-bit
segment base component plus a 16-bit offset component.
In general, individual data elements must fit within defined segment limits. Figure 1-5
graphically represents the data types supported by the Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers.

ADDRESSING MODES
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers use eight categories of addressing modes to
specify operands. Two addressing modes are provided for instructions that operate on
register or immediate operands; six modes are provided to specify the location of an
operand in a memory segment.
Register and Immediate Operands
1. Register Operand Mode—The operand is located in one of the 8- or 16-bit registers.
2. Immediate Operand Mode—The operand is included in the instruction.
Memory Operands
A memory-operand address consists of two 16-bit components: a segment value and an
offset. The segment value is supplied by a 16-bit segment register either implicitly chosen
by the addressing mode (described below) or explicitly chosen by a segment override prefix
(see "Segment Override Prefix" on page 2-2). The offset, also called the effective address,
is calculated by summing any combination of the following three address elements:
n Displacement—an 8-bit or 16-bit immediate value contained in the instruction
n Base—contents of either the BX or BP base registers
n Index—contents of either the SI or DI index registers
Any carry from the 16-bit addition is ignored. Eight-bit displacements are sign-extended to
16-bit values.
Combinations of the above three address elements define the following six memory
addressing modes (see Table 1-2 for examples).
1. Direct Mode—The operand offset is contained in the instruction as an 8- or 16-bit
displacement element.
2. Register Indirect Mode—The operand offset is in one of the BP, BX, DI, or SI registers.
3. Based Mode—The operand offset is the sum of an 8- or 16-bit displacement and the contents
of a base register (BP or BX).
4. Indexed Mode—The operand offset is the sum of an 8- or 16-bit displacement and the
contents of an index register (DI or SI).
5. Based Indexed Mode—The operand offset is the sum of the contents of a base register
(BP or BX) and an index register (DI or SI).
6. Based Indexed Mode with Displacement—The operand offset is the sum of a base
register’s contents, an index register’s contents, and an 8-bit or 16-bit displacement.

2.1
INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The instruction set used by the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers is identical to
the original 8086 and 8088 instruction set, with the addition of seven instructions (BOUND,
ENTER, INS, LEAVE, OUTS, POPA, and PUSHA), and the enhancement of nine
instructions (immediate operands were added to IMUL, PUSH, RCL, RCR, ROL, ROR,
SAL/SHL, SAR, and SHR). In addition, three valid instructions are not supported with the
necessary processor pinout (ESC, LOCK and WAIT). All of these instructions are marked
as such in their description.
2.2
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
When assembling code, an assembler replaces each instruction statement with its
machine-language equivalent. In machine language, all instructions conform to one basic
format. However, the length of an instruction in machine language varies depending on the
operands used in the instruction and the operation that the instruction performs.
An instruction can reference from zero to several operands. An operand can reside in a
register, in the instruction itself, or in memory.
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers use the following instruction format. The shortest
instructions consist of only a single opcode byte.
Instruction Prefixes
Segment Override Prefix
Opcode
Operand Address
Displacement
Immediate
2.2.1
Instruction Prefixes
The REP, REPE, REPZ, REPNE and REPNZ prefixes can be used to repeatedly execute
a single string instruction.
The LOCK prefix may be combined with the instruction and segment override prefixes, and
causes the processor to assert its bus LOCK signal while the instruction that follows
executes.
Instruction Set Overview
2-1
2.2.2
Segment Override Prefix
To override the default segment register, place the following byte in front of the instruction,
where RR determines which register is used. Only one segment override prefix can be
used per instruction.

2.2.3
Opcode
This specifies the machine-language opcode for an instruction. The format for the opcodes
is described on page 2-5. Although most instructions use only one opcode byte, the AAD
(D5 0A hex) and AAM (D4 0A hex) instructions use two opcodes.
2.2.4
Operand Address
The following illustration shows the structure of the operand address byte. The operand
address byte controls the addressing for an instruction.
Along with r/m, the Modifier field determines whether the Register/Memory field is
interpreted as a register or the address of a memory operand. For a memory
operand, the Modifier field also indicates whether the operand is addressed directly
or indirectly. For indirectly addressed memory operands, the Modifier field specifies
the number of bytes of displacement that appear in the instruction. See Table 2-1
for mod values.
Along with mod, the Register/Memory field
specifies a general register or the address of a
memory operand. See Table 2-3 for r/m values.

Instruction Set Overview
Opcode
The Opcode column specifies the machine-language opcodes for the different forms of an
instruction. (For instruction prefixes, this column also includes the prefix.) Each opcode
includes one or more numbers in hexadecimal format, and zero or more parameters, which
are shown in italics. A parameter provides information about the contents of the Operand
Address byte for that particular form of the instruction.
This parameter
Indicates that
/0–/7
The Auxiliary (aux) Field in the Operand Address byte specifies an
extension (from 0 to 7) to the opcode instead of a register. So for example,
the opcode for adding (ADD) an immediate byte to a general byte register
or a byte in memory is "80 /0 ib". So the second byte of the opcode is
"mod 000 r/m", where mod and r/m are as defined in "Operand Address"
on page 2-2.
/0
The aux field is 0.

The aux field is 1.

The aux field is 3.
/4
The aux field is 4.
/5
The aux field is 5.
/6
The aux field is 6.
/7
The aux field is 7.
/r
The Auxiliary (aux) field in the Operand Address byte specifies a register
instead of an opcode extension. If the Opcode byte specifies a byte register,
the registers are assigned as follows: AL=0, CL=1, DL=2, BL=3, AH=4,
CH=5, DH=6, and BH=7. If the Opcode byte specifies a word register, the
registers are assigned as follows: AX=0, CX=1, DX=2, BX=3, SP=4, BP=5,
SI=6, and DI=7.
/sr
The Auxiliary (aux) field in the Operand Address byte specifies a segment
register as follows: ES=0, CS=1, SS=2, and DS=3.
cb
The byte following the Opcode byte specifies an offset.
cd
The doubleword following the Opcode byte specifies an offset and, in some
cases, a segment.
cw
The word following the Opcode byte specifies an offset and, in some cases,
a segment.
ib
The parameter is an immediate byte. The Opcode byte determines whether
it is interpreted as a signed or unsigned number.
iw
The parameter is an immediate word. The Opcode byte determines whether
it is interpreted as a signed or unsigned number.
rb
The byte register operand is specified in the Opcode byte. To determine
the Opcode byte for a particular register, add the hexadecimal value on the
left of the plus sign to the value of rb for that register, as follows:
AL=0, CL=1, DL=2, BL= 3, AH=4, CH=5, DH=6, and BH=7. So for example,
the opcode for moving an immediate byte to a register (MOV) is "B0+rb".
So B0–B7 are valid opcodes, and B0 is "MOV AL,imm8".
rw
The word register operand is specified in the Opcode byte. To determine
the Opcode byte for a particular register, add the hexadecimal value on the
left of the plus sign to the value of rw for that register, as follows:
AX=0, CX=1, DX=2, BX=3, SP=4, BP=5, SI=6, DI=7.
Instruction Set Overview
2-5
Description
The Description column contains a brief synopsis of each form of the instruction.
Clocks
The Clocks columns (one for the Am186 and one for the Am188 microcontrollers) specify
the number of clock cycles required for the different forms of an instruction.
2.4.3
This parameter
Indicates that
/
The number of clocks required for a register operand is different than the
number required for an operand located in memory. The number to the
left corresponds with a register operand; the number to the right
corresponds with an operand located in memory.
,
The number of clocks depends on the result of the condition tested. The
number to the left corresponds with a True or Pass result, and the number
to the right corresponds with a False or Fail result.
n
The number of clocks depends on the number of times the instruction is
repeated. n is the number of repetitions.

Decimal Arithmetic
In addition to binary arithmetic, the microcontroller supports arithmetic using numbers
represented in the binary-coded decimal (BCD) system. The BCD system uses four bits to
represent a single decimal digit. When two decimal digits are stored in a byte, the number
is called a packed decimal number. When only one decimal digit is stored in a byte, the
number is called an unpacked decimal number.
To perform decimal arithmetic, the microcontroller uses a subset of the binary arithmetic
instructions and a special set of instructions that convert unsigned binary numbers to
decimal.

Consider using decimal arithmetic instead of binary arithmetic under the following
circumstances:
n When the numbers you are using represent only decimal quantities.
Manipulating numbers in binary and converting them back and forth between binary and
decimal can introduce rounding errors.
n When you need to read or write many ASCII numbers.
Converting a number between ASCII and decimal is simpler than converting it between
ASCII and binary.

String
A string is a contiguous sequence of components stored in memory. For example, a string
might be composed of a list of ASCII characters or a table of numbers.
A string instruction operates on a single component in a string. To manipulate more than
one component in a string, the string instruction prefixes (REP/REPE/REPNE/REPNZ/
REPZ) can be used to repeatedly execute the same string instruction.
A string instruction uses an index register as the offset of a component in a string. Most
string instructions operate on only one string, in which case they use either the Source
Index (SI) register or the Destination Index (DI) register. String instructions that operate on
two strings use SI as the offset of a component in one string and DI as the offset of the
corresponding component in the other string.
After executing a string instruction, the microcontroller automatically increments or
decrements SI and DI so that they contain the offsets of the next components in their strings.
The microcontroller determines the amount by which the index registers must be
incremented or decremented based on the size of the components.
The microcontroller can process the components of a string in a forward direction (from
lower addresses to higher addresses), or in a backward direction (from higher addresses
to lower ones). The microcontroller uses the value of the Direction Flag (DF) to determine
whether to increment or decrement SI and DI. If DF is cleared to 0, the microcontroller
increments the index registers; otherwise, it decrements them.

AAA converts an 8-bit unsigned binary number that is the sum of two unpacked decimal
(BCD) numbers to its unpacked decimal equivalent.
Syntax
AAA
Description
Use the AAA instruction after an ADD or ADC instruction that leaves a byte result in the
AL register. The lower nibbles of the operands of the ADD or ADC instruction should be in
the range 0–9 (BCD digits). The AAA instruction adjusts the AL register to contain the
correct decimal digit result. If the addition produced a decimal carry, AAA increments the
AH register and sets the Carry and Auxiliary-Carry Flags (CF and AF). If there is no decimal
carry, AAA clears CF and AF and leaves the AH register unchanged. AAA sets the top
nibble of the AL register to 0.
Operation It Performs
if (((AL = AL & 0x0F) > 9) || (AF == 1))
/* AL is not yet in BCD format */
/* (note high nibble of AL is cleared either way) */
{
/* convert AL to decimal and unpack */

Syntax
AAD
Description
AAD prepares two unpacked BCD digits—the least significant digit in the AL register and
the most significant digit in the AH register—for division by an unpacked BCD digit. The
instruction sets the AL register to AL + (10•AH) and then clears the AH register. The AX
register then equals the binary equivalent of the original unpacked two-digit number.
Operation It Performs
/* convert AX to binary */
AL = (AH * 10) + AL;
AH = 0;

Description
Use AAS only after a SUB or SBB instruction that leaves the byte result in AL. The lower
nibbles of the operands of the SUB or SBB instruction must be in the range 0–9 (BCD).
AAS adjusts AL so that it contains the correct decimal result. If the subtraction produced a
decimal borrow, AAS decrements AH and sets CF and AF. If there is no decimal borrow,
AAS clears CF and AF and leaves AH unchanged. AAS sets the top nibble of AL to 0.

Tips
To add two integers or two unsigned numbers that are both stored in memory, copy one
of them to a register before using ADC.
ADC requires both operands to be the same size. Before adding an 8-bit integer to a 16bit integer, convert the 8-bit integer to its 16-bit equivalent using CBW. To convert an 8-bit
unsigned number to its 16-bit equivalent, use MOV to copy 0 to AH.
To add numbers larger than 16 bits, use ADD to add the low words, and then use ADC to
add each of the subsequently higher words.
The microcontroller does not provide an instruction that performs decimal addition. To add
decimal numbers, use ADD to perform binary addition, and then convert the result to decimal
using AAA or DAA.
ADC, ADD, SBB, and SUB set AF when the result needs to be converted for decimal
arithmetic. AAA, AAS, DAA, and DAS use AF to determine whether an adjustment is
needed. This is the only use for AF.

Tips
To add two integers or two unsigned numbers that are both stored in memory, copy one
of them to a register before using ADD.
ADD requires both operands to be the same size. Before adding an 8-bit integer to a 16bit integer, convert the 8-bit integer to its 16-bit equivalent using CBW. To convert an 8-bit
unsigned number to its 16-bit equivalent, use MOV to copy 0 to AH.
To add numbers larger than 16 bits, use ADD to add the low words, and then use ADC to
add each of the subsequently higher words.
Use INC instead of ADD within a loop when you want to increase a value by 1 each time
the loop is executed.

Description
BOUND ensures that a signed array index is within the limits specified by a block of memory
between an upper and lower bound. The first operand (from the specified register) must
be greater than or equal to the lower bound value, but not greater than the upper bound.
The lower bound value is stored at the address specified by the second operand. The upper
bound value is stored at a consecutive higher memory address (+2). If the first operand is
out of the specified bounds, BOUND issues an Interrupt 5 Request. The saved IP points
to the BOUND instruction.

What It Does
CALL calls a procedure.
Syntax
CALL procedure
Description
CALL suspends execution of the current instruction sequence, saves the segment (if
necessary) and offset addresses of the next instruction, and begins executing the procedure
named by the operand. A return at the end of the called procedure exits the procedure and
starts execution at the instruction following the CALL instruction.
CALL rel16 and CALL r/m16 are near calls. They use the current Code Segment register
value. Near calls push the offset of the next instruction (IP) onto the stack. The near RET
instruction in the procedure pops the instruction offset when it returns control.
n Near direct calls (relative): CALL rel16 adds a signed offset to the address of the next
instruction to determine the destination. CALL stores the result in the IP register.
n Near indirect calls (absolute): CALL r/m16 specifies a register or memory location
from which the 16-bit absolute segment offset is fetched. CALL stores the result in the
IP register.
CALL ptr16:16 and CALL m16:16 are far calls. They use a long pointer to the called
procedure. The long pointer provides 16 bits for the CS register and 16 for the IP register.
Far calls push both the CS and IP registers as a return address. A far return must be used
to pop both CS and IP from the stack.
n Far direct calls: CALL ptr16:16 uses a 4-byte operand as a long pointer to the called
procedure.
n Far indirect calls: CALL m16:16 fetches the long pointer from the memory location
specified (indirection).
A CALL-indirect-through-memory, using the stack pointer (SP) as a base register,
references memory before the call. The base is the value of SP before the instruction
executes.

Tips
You can use CF to indicate the outcome of a procedure, such as when searching a string
for a character. For instance, if the character is found, you can use STC to set CF to 1; if
the character is not found, you can use CLC to clear CF to 0. Then, subsequent instructions
that do not affect CF can use its value to determine the appropriate course of action.
To rotate a 0 into a component, use CLC to clear CF to 0 before using RCL or RCR.

(backward) to establish the direction for string processing.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

This example of an interrupt-service routine: enables interrupts so that interrupt nesting

Tips
When the Interrupt-Enable Flag (IF) is cleared to 0 so that all maskable interrupts are
disabled, you can still use INT to generate an interrupt, even if it is masked by its interrupt
control register.
Software interrupts and traps, and nonmaskable interrupts are not affected by the IF flag.
The IRET instruction restores the value of the Processor Status Flags register from the
value pushed onto the stack when the interrupt was taken. Modifying the Processor Status
Flags register via the STI, CLI or other instruction will not affect the flags after the IRET.
If you disable maskable interrupts using CLI, the microcontroller does not recognize
maskable interrupt requests until the instruction that follows STI is executed.
After using CLI to disable maskable interrupts, use STI to enable them as soon as possible
to reduce the possibility of missing maskable interrupt requests.

Syntax
CMPS source,destination
CMPSB
CMPSW
To override the default source
segment (DS) and to have the
assembler type-check your operands,
use this form. In this form, source is
segment:[SI]. The assembler uses the
segment in DS unless you specify a
different segment register as part of
the source string component. The
assembler uses the definitions of the
string components to determine their
sizes.
To compare a byte within a string
located in the destination segment
specified in ES to a byte within a string
located in the source segment
specified in DS, use this form.
Regardless of the form of CMPS
you use, destination is always
ES:[DI]. Before using any form of
CMPS, make sure that: ES
contains the segment of the
destination string, DI contains
the offset of the destination
string, and SI contains the offset
of the source string.
To compare a word within a string
located in the destination segment
specified in ES to a word within a string
located in the source segment
specified in DS, use this form.
Description
CMPS compares the byte or word pointed to by the SI register with the byte or word pointed
to by the DI register. You must preload the registers before executing CMPS.
CMPS subtracts the DI indexed operand from the SI indexed operand. No result is stored;
only the flags reflect the change. The operand size determines whether bytes or words are
compared. The first operand (SI) uses the DS register unless a segment override byte is
present. The second operand (DI) must be addressable from the ES register; no segment
override is possible. After the comparison, both the source-index register and the
destination-index register are automatically advanced. If DF is 0, the registers increment
according to the operand size (byte=1; word=2); if DF is 1, the registers decrement.
CMPSB and CMPSW are synonymous with the byte and word CMPS instructions,
respectively.

Tips
Before using CMPS, always set up CX with the length of the string, and use CLD (forward)
or STD (backward) to establish the direction for string processing.
To determine whether one string is the same as another, use the REPE (or REPZ) prefix
to execute CMPS repeatedly. If all the corresponding components match, ZF is set to 1.
To determine whether one string is different from another, use the REPNE (or REPNZ)
prefix to execute CMPS repeatedly. If no corresponding components match, ZF is cleared
to 0.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

use MOV to copy the dividend to AX, use CWD to convert the dividend into its 32-bit

What It Does

Syntax
DIV divisor
Description
DIV operates on unsigned numbers. The operand you specify is the divisor. DIV assumes
that the number to be divided—the dividend—is in AX or DX::AX. (DIV uses a dividend that
is twice the size of the divisor.)
DIV replaces the high half of the dividend with the remainder and the low half of the dividend
with the quotient. If the quotient is too large to fit in the low half of the dividend (such as
when dividing by 0), DIV generates Interrupt 0 instead of setting CF. DIV truncates
nonintegral quotients toward 0.
Operation It Performs
if (size(divisor) == 8)
/* unsigned byte division */
{
temp = AX / divisor;
if (size(temp) > size(AL))
/* quotient too large */

Tips
DIV requires the dividend to be twice the size of the divisor. To convert an 8-bit unsigned
dividend to its 16-bit equivalent (or a 16-bit dividend to its 32-bit equivalent), use MOV to
load the high half with 0.
If the unsigned dividend will fit in a 16-bit register and you don’t need the remainder, use
SHR to divide unsigned numbers by powers of 2. When dividing an unsigned number by
a power of 2, it is faster to use SHR than DIV.
The Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers do not provide an instruction that performs decimal
division. To divide a decimal number by another decimal number, use AAD to convert the
dividend to binary and then perform binary division using DIV.

What It Does

Syntax
ENTER bytes,level
Description
ENTER creates the stack frame required by most block-structured high-level languages.
The microcontroller uses BP as a pointer to the stack frame and SP as a pointer to the top
of the stack.
The first operand (bytes) specifies the number of stack bytes to allocate for the local
variables of the procedure.
The second operand (level) specifies the lexical nesting level (0–31) of the procedure within
the high-level-language source code. The nesting level determines the number of stackframe pointers that are copied to the new stack frame from the preceding frame.
If level is 0, ENTER pushes BP onto the stack, sets BP to the current value of SP, and
subtracts bytes from SP.
* – This instruction was not available on the original 8086/8088 systems.

If a procedure is called by another, then use ENTER with a level of 1 for the main procedure,
use ENTER with a level of 2 for the procedure it calls, and so on.

Description
HLT places the microcontroller in a suspended state, leaving the CS and IP registers
pointing to the instruction following HLT. The microcontroller remains in the suspended
state until one of the following events occurs:
n An external device resets the microcontroller by asserting the RES signal.
The microcontroller immediately clears its internal logic and enters a dormant state.
Several clock periods after the external device de-asserts RES, the microcontroller
begins fetching instructions.
n The Interrupt-Enable Flag (IF) is 1 and an external device or peripheral asserts one of
the microcontroller’s maskable interrupt requests that is not masked off by its interrupt
control register (or an external device issues a nonmaskable interrupt request by
asserting the microcontroller’s nonmaskable interrupt signal).
The microcontroller resumes executing instructions at the location specified by the
corresponding pointer in the microcontroller’s interrupt vector table. After the interrupt
procedure is done, the microcontroller begins executing the sequence of instructions
following HLT.
Operation It Performs

If you want a procedure to wait for an interrupt request, use HLT instead of an endless loop.

What It Does
IDIV divides one integer by another integer.
Syntax
IDIV divisor
Description
IDIV operates on signed numbers (integers). The operand you specify is the divisor. IDIV
assumes that the number to be divided (the dividend) is in AX or DX::AX. (IDIV uses the
dividend that is twice the size of the divisor.)
IDIV replaces the high half of the dividend with the remainder and the low half of the dividend
with the quotient. As in traditional mathematics, the sign of the remainder is always the
same as the sign of the dividend.
If the quotient is too large to fit in the low half of the dividend (such as when dividing by 0),
IDIV generates Interrupt 0 instead of setting OF. IDIV truncates nonintegral quotients
toward 0.

Tips
IDIV requires the dividend to be twice the size of the divisor. To convert an 8-bit integer
dividend to its 16-bit equivalent, use CBW. To convert a 16-bit dividend to its 32-bit
equivalent, use CWD.
If the integer dividend will fit in a 16-bit register and you don’t need the remainder, use SAR
to divide integers by powers of 2. When dividing an integer by a power of 2, it is faster to
use SAR than IDIV.
When dividing unsigned numbers, use DIV instead of IDIV to make it obvious to someone
who reads your code that you are operating on unsigned numbers.

What It Does
IMUL multiplies two integers.
Syntax
IMUL multiplicand
IMUL product,multiplicand,multiplier
Use this form to multiply an integer in
memory or in a register by AL or AX,
and store the result in AX or DX::AX.
IMUL product,multiplier
Use this form to multiply an integer
in a register by an immediate
integer, and overwrite the register
with the result.
Use this form to multiply an integer in
memory or in a register by an
immediate integer, and specify the
register in which to place the result.
Description
IMUL operates on signed numbers (integers). The operation it performs depends on the
number of operands you specify. For example:
n One operand: The operand you specify is the multiplicand. IMUL assumes that the
integer by which it is to be multiplied (the multiplier) is in AL or AX. (IMUL uses the
multiplier that is the same size as the multiplicand.)
IMUL places the product in AX or DX::AX. (The destination is always twice the size of
the multiplicand.)
n Two operands: You specify the destination register for the product and the immediate
integer by which the multiplicand is to be multiplied (the multiplier). IMUL uses the
destination register as the multiplicand and then overwrites it with the product.
n Three operands: This form of IMUL is the same as the two-operand form, except that
IMUL preserves the multiplicand. You specify the destination register for the product,
the multiplicand, and the immediate integer by which the multiplicand is to be multiplied
(the multiplier). IMUL preserves the multiplicand.
* – Integer immediate multiplies were not available on the original 8086/8088 systems.

Tips
Use SAL instead of IMUL to multiply integers by powers of 2. When multiplying an integer
by a power of 2, it is faster to use SAL than IMUL.
When using the single-operand form of IMUL, you can often ignore the high half of the
destination because the product is small enough to fit in only the low half of the destination.
If it is, IMUL clears CF and OF to 0; otherwise, IMUL sets CF and OF to 1.
When using the two- or three-operand forms of IMUL, the product can easily be large
enough so that it does not fit in the destination. Before using the result of either of these
forms, make sure that the destination contains the entire product. If it does, IMUL clears
CF and OF to 0; otherwise, IMUL sets CF and OF to 1.

To have the assembler type-check
your operands, use this form. The
assembler uses the definition of the
string component to determine its
size.
Regardless of the form of INS you
use, destination is always ES:[DI],
and port is always DX. Before using
To copy a byte from the I/O port
any form of INS, make sure that: ES
specified in DX to a byte within a string contains the segment of the string, DI
located in the segment specified in
contains the offset of the string, and
ES, use this form.
DX contains the number of the port.
To copy a word from the I/O port
specified in DX to a word within a
string located in the segment
specified in ES, use this form.
Description
INS transfers data from the input port numbered by the DX register to the memory byte or
word at ES:DI. The memory operand must be addressable from the ES register; no segment
override is possible.
The INS instruction does not allow the specification of the port number as an immediate
value. You must address the port through the DX register value. Similarly, the destination
index register determines the destination address. Before executing the INS instruction,
you must preload the DX register value into the DX register and the correct index into the
destination index register.
After the transfer is made, the DI register advances automatically. If DF is 0 (a CLD
instruction was executed), the DI register increments; if DF is 1 (an STD instruction was
executed), the DI register decrements. The DI register increments or decrements by 1 if
the input is a byte, or by 2 if it is a word.
The INSB and INSW instructions are synonyms for the byte and word INS instructions,
respectively.

What It Does
INT generates an interrupt via software.
Syntax
INT type
To generate an unconditional interrupt, use this form
INTO
To generate an interrupt only if OF is set to 1, use this
form. When OF is 1, this form is the same as INT 4.
Description
INT suspends execution of the current procedure, pushes the Processor Status Flags
(FLAGS) register and the segment (CS) and offset (IP) addresses of the next instruction
onto the stack, and begins executing an interrupt handler (also known as an interrupt service
routine).
The operand you specify is the interrupt type, which can range from 0 to 255. The
microcontroller computes the address of the appropriate vector in the interrupt vector table
by shifting type left two times (in effect, multiplying it by 4). Then the microcontroller jumps
to the interrupt handler pointed to by that vector.
INTO is a conditional form of INT that is specifically used to handle arithmetic overflow
conditions. If the Overflow Flag (OF) is set to 1 when the microcontroller executes INTO,
then INTO generates a type 4 interrupt. This is equivalent to executing INT 4. If OF is
cleared to 0, INTO does nothing, and the microcontroller begins executing the instruction
following INTO.
Am186 and Am188 microcontrollers reserve some of the low-numbered interrupts for
software traps and exceptions, and for on-board peripheral devices. See the User’s Manual
for the specific device for more information.
IF is not cleared automatically when executing a software interrupt trap. No end-of-interrupt
(EOI) is required even if the interrupt type is the same as that for a peripheral.

Tips
Before using INT, use MOV to copy the stack segment to SS and the stack offset to SP.
When the Interrupt-Enable Flag (IF) is cleared to disable all maskable interrupts, INT can
be used to generate an interrupt, even if it is masked by its interrupt control register.
INT operates like a far call except that the contents of the Processor Status Flags register
are pushed onto the stack before the return address.
Unlike interrupts generated by external hardware, INT does not set an interrupt’s in-service
bit in the In-Service (INSERV) register.

What It Does
JMP stops executing the current sequence of instructions and begins executing a new
sequence of instructions.
Syntax
JMP label
To jump unconditionally, use JMP.
Description
JMP transfers control to a different point in the instruction stream without recording return
information. The instruction has several different forms, as follows:
n Short Jumps: To determine the destination, the JMP rel8 form adds a signed offset to
the address of the instruction following JMP. This offset can range from 128 bytes before
or 127 bytes after the instruction following JMP.
JMP rel16 and JMP r/m16 are near jumps. They use the current segment register value.
n Near Direct Jumps: To determine the destination, the JMP rel16 form adds an offset
to the address of the instruction following JMP. The JMP rel16 form is used for 16-bit
operand-size attributes (segment-size attribute 16 only). The result is stored in the 16bit IP register.
n Near Indirect Jumps: The JMP r/m16 form specifies a register or memory location from
which the procedure absolute offset is fetched. The offset is 16 bits.
JMP ptr16:16 and JMP m16:16 are far jumps. They use a long pointer to the destination.
The long pointer provides 16 bits for the CS register and 16 bits for the IP register.
n Far Direct Jumps: The JMP ptr16:16 form uses a 4-byte operand as a long pointer to
the destination.
n Far Indirect Jumps: The JMP m16:16 form fetches the long pointer from the specified
memory location (an indirect jump).

Description
LOCK is a prefix for a single instruction. On 186 processors with a LOCK pin assignment,
the LOCK pin is asserted for the duration of the prefixed instruction. The LOCK prefix may
be combined with the segment override and/or REP prefix.
Operation It Performs

Instruction prefixes do not affect the flags. See the instruction being prefixed for the flag
values.
Tips
The LOCK pin will assert for the entire repeated instruction.
LOCK prevents DMA cycles until the entire LOCK instruction is complete (this includes a
LOCK REP string instruction).
LOCK prevents the processor from acknowledging a HOLD or taking an interrupt except
for a nonmaskable interrupt.

of the string component to determine
Before using any form of LODS,

make sure that SI contains the offset
of the string.
To copy a byte within a string located
in the segment specified in DS to AL,
use this form.
To copy a word within a string located
in the segment specified in DS to AX,
use this form.
Description
LODS loads the memory byte or word at the location pointed to by the source-index register into
the AL or AX register. After the transfer, the instruction automatically advances the source-index
register. If DF=0 (the CLD instruction was executed), the source index increments; if DF=1 (the
STD instruction was executed), it decrements. The increment/decrement rate is 1 for a byte or
2 for a word. The source data address is determined solely by the contents of the source-index
register; load the correct index value into the register before executing LODS. DS is the default
source segment.
LODSB and LODSW are synonyms for the byte and word LODS instructions, respectively.

Tips
Before using LODS, always be sure to: set up SI with the offset of the string, set up CX
with the length of the string, and then use CLD (forward) or STD (backward) to establish
the direction for string processing.
To inspect each component in a string, use LODS within a loop.
To perform a custom operation on each component in a string, use LODS and STOS within
a loop. Within the loop, use the following sequence of instructions: use LODS to copy a
component from memory, use other instructions to perform the custom operation, and then
use STOS to copy the component back to memory. To overwrite the original string with the
results, set up DI with the same offset as SI before beginning the loop.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

What It Does
LOOPE and LOOPZ repeatedly execute a sequence of instructions in which two

Syntax
LOOPE label
LOOPZ label
To repeat a loop until CX is 0 or two
components compared inside the
loop are not equal, use LOOPE or its
synonym, LOOPZ. Both forms
perform the same operation.
Description
At the bottom of a loop, LOOPE subtracts 1 from CX, and then performs a short jump to
the label at the top of the loop if the following conditions are met: CX is not 0, and the two
components that were just compared are equal. The label must be in the range from 128
bytes before LOOPE to 127 bytes after LOOPE. The microcontroller performs the following
sequence of operations:
1. Executes the instructions between label and LOOPE label.
2. Subtracts 1 from the unsigned number in CX.
3. Performs a short jump to the label if CX is not 0 and the Zero Flag (ZF) is 1.
When CX is 0 or ZF is 0, the microcontroller begins executing the instruction following
LOOPE. LOOPZ is a synonym for LOOPE.

two components and finds they are equal, the loop is no longer executed.
Syntax
LOOPNE label
LOOPNZ label
To repeat a loop until CX is 0 or two
components compared inside the loop
are equal, use LOOPNE or its synonym, LOOPNZ. Both forms perform
the same operation.
Description
At the bottom of a loop, LOOPNE subtracts 1 from CX, and then performs a short jump to
the label at the top of the loop if the following conditions are met: CX is not 0, and the two
components that were just compared are not equal. The label must be in the range from
128 bytes before LOOPNE to 127 bytes after LOOPNE. The microcontroller performs the
following sequence of operations:
1. Executes the instructions between label and LOOPNE label.
2. Subtracts 1 from the unsigned number in CX.
3. Performs a short jump to the label if CX is not 0 and the Zero Flag (ZF) is 0.
When CX is 0 or ZF is 1, the microcontroller begins executing the instruction following
LOOPNE. LOOPNZ is a synonym for LOOPNE.
Operation It Performs
/* decrement counter */
CX = CX - 1;
if ((CX != 0) && (ZF == 0))
/* not equal */
{
/* extend sign of label */
if (label < 0)
displacement = 0xFF00 | label;
else
displacement = 0x00FF & label;
/* loop */
IP = IP + displacement;

This example for the SD186EM demonstration board controls the LEDs that are mapped
(using negative logic) to eight of the microcontroller’s programmable input/output (PIO) pins
according to the signal levels in AL. Because some of the LEDs on the board are mapped
to the low eight PIO pins (5–0)—and some are mapped to the next eight PIO pins (15–
14)—the example duplicates the signal levels in AH. Before writing the PIO signal levels
to the PIO Data 0 (PDATA0) register, the example uses NOT to convert them to negative
logic.

This example sets up the Data Segment (DS) register and the Extra Segment (ES) register
with the same segment address. This is useful if you will be using MOVS to copy one string
to another string stored in the same segment. If you set up DS and ES with different segment
addresses, you must copy the value in one of them to the other—or override the source
segment—before using MOVS.

You cannot use MOV to copy directly from a memory location to a segment register. To
copy a segment address to a segment register, first copy the segment address to a general
register, and then copy the value in the general register to the segment register.

What It Does
MOVS copies a component from one string to another string.
Syntax
MOVS destination,source
MOVSB
MOVSW
To override the default source segment
(DS) and to have the assembler typecheck your operands, use this form. In
this form, source is segment:[SI]. The
assembler uses the segment in DS unless you specify a different segment
register as part of the source string
component. The assembler uses the
definitions of the string components to
determine their sizes.
To copy a byte within a string located
in the source segment specified in DS
to a byte within a string located in the
destination segment specified in ES,
use this form.
Regardless of the form of MOVS
you use, destination is always
ES:[DI]. Before using any form
of MOVS, make sure that ES
contains the segment of the destination string, DI contains the
offset of the destination string,
and SI contains the offset of the
source string.
To copy a word within a string located
in the source segment specified in DS
to a word within a string located in the
destination segment specified in ES,
use this form.
Description
MOVS copies the byte or word at segment:[SI] to the byte or word at ES:[DI]. The destination
operand must be addressable from the ES register; no segment override is possible for the
destination. You can use a segment override for the source operand. The default is the DS
register. The contents of SI and DI determine the source and destination addresses. Load
the correct index values into the SI and DI registers before executing the MOVS instruction.
After moving the data, MOVS advances the SI and DI registers automatically. If the Direction
Flag (DF) is 0 (see STC on page 4-228), the registers increment. If DF is 1 (see STD on
page 4-231), the registers decrement. The stepping is 1 for a byte, or 2 for a word operand.
MOVSB and MOVSW are synonyms for the byte and word MOVS instructions, respectively.

Tips
Before using MOVS, always be sure to: set up SI with the offset of the source string and
DI with the offset of the destination string, set up CX with the length of the strings, and use
CLD (forward) or STD (backward) to establish the direction for string processing.
To copy one string to another, use the REP prefix to execute MOVS repeatedly.
To fill a string with a pattern, use MOV to: copy each component of the pattern to the first
several components in the string, load SI with the offset of the string, load DI with the offset
of the first component in the string that is not part of the pattern, load CX with the length of
the string less the number of components in the pattern, and then use the REP prefix to
execute MOVS repeatedly.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

Tips
Use SHL instead of MUL to multiply unsigned numbers by powers of 2. When multiplying
an unsigned number by a power of 2, it is faster to use SHL than MUL.
Much of the time, you can ignore the high half of the result because the product is small
enough to fit in only the low half of the destination. If it is, MUL clears CF and OF to 0;
otherwise, MUL sets CF and OF to 1.
If the result will fit in a register that is the size of the multiplicand, and you either want to
multiply an unsigned number by an immediate number or you don’t want the result to
overwrite AL or AX, use the second and third forms of IMUL instead of MUL. Although
designed for multiplying integers, these forms of IMUL calculate the same result as MUL
while letting you specify more than one operand.

This example for the SD186EM demonstration board controls the LEDs that are mapped
(using negative logic) to eight of the microcontroller’s programmable input/output (PIO) pins
according to the signal levels in AL. Because some of the LEDs on the board are mapped
to the low eight PIO pins (5–0)—and some are mapped to the next eight PIO pins (15–
14)—the example duplicates the signal levels in AH. Before writing the PIO signal levels
to the PIO Data 0 (PDATA0) register, the example uses NOT to convert them to negative
logic.

Description
OUT transfers a data byte from the register (AL or AX) given as the second operand (source)
to the output port numbered by the first operand (port). Output to any port from 0 to 65535
is performed by placing the port number in the DX register and then using an OUT instruction
with the DX register as the first operand. If the instruction contains an 8-bit port number,
that value is zero-extended to 16 bits.
Operation It Performs
/* extend port number */
if (size(port) == 8)
port = 0x00FF & port;
/* move component */
[port] = source;

What It Does

Syntax
OUTS port,source
OUTSB
OUTSW
To have the assembler type-check
your operands, use this form. The assembler uses the definition of the
string component to determine its
size.
To copy a byte from within a string
located in the segment specified in
DS to the I/O port specified in DX, use
this form.
To copy a word from within a string
located in the segment specified in
DS to the I/O port specified in DX, use
this form.
Regardless of the form of OUTS you
use, source is always DS:[SI], and
port is always DX. Before using any
form of OUTS, make sure that DS
contains the segment of the string,
SI contains the offset of the string,
and DX contains the number of the
port.
Description
OUTS transfers data from the address indicated by the source-index register (SI) to the
output port addressed by the DX register. OUTS does not allow specification of the port
number as an immediate value. You must address the port through the DX register value.
Load the correct values into the DX register and the source-index (SI) register before
executing the OUTS instruction.
After the transfer, the source-index register advances automatically. If the Direction Flag
(DF) is 0 (see CLD on page 4-29), the source-index register increments. If DF is 1 (see
STD on page 4-231), it decrements. The SI register increments or decrements by 1 for a
byte or 2 for a word.
OUTSB and OUTSW are synonyms for the byte and word OUTS instructions.
You can use the REP prefix with the OUTS instruction for block output of CX bytes or words.

Tips
Before using OUTS, always be sure to: set up SI with the offset of the string, set up CX
with the length of the string, and use CLD (forward) or STD (backward) to establish the
direction for string processing.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

What It Does

Syntax
POP component
Description
POP loads the word at the top of the processor stack into the destination specified by the
operand. The top of the stack is specified by the contents of SS and the Stack Pointer
register, SP. The stack pointer increments by 2 to point to the new top of stack.
A POP SS instruction inhibits all interrupts, including nonmaskable interrupts, until after
execution of the next instruction. This allows sequential execution of POP SS and POP SP
instructions without danger of having an invalid stack during an interrupt.
A pop-to-memory instruction that uses the stack pointer as a base register references
memory after the POP. The base is the value of the stack pointer after the instruction has
been executed.
Note that POP CS is not a valid instruction; use RET to pop from the stack into CS.
Operation It Performs
/* copy component from stack */
destination = SS:[SP];
/* remove storage from stack */
SP = SP + 2;

Tips
Before you use POP, use MOV to copy the stack segment to SS and the stack offset to SP.
Before you can pop a component from the stack, you must push one onto the stack.
To copy one segment register to another, use PUSH to place the contents of the first
segment register on the stack, and then use POP to load the other segment register.
Use the stack to pass parameters from one procedure to another. In the calling procedure,
use PUSH to push the parameters onto the stack, use CALL to call another procedure, and
then use POP to pop the parameters from the stack.
Use PUSH to temporarily save the intermediate results of a multistep calculation.
Use PUSH to save the value of a register you want to temporarily use for another purpose.
Use POP to restore the saved register value when you are done.

What It Does
PUSHA creates storage space for eight components on the stack and then copies each of
the eight 16-bit general registers to the stack.
Syntax
PUSHA
Description
PUSHA saves the 16-bit general registers on the processor stack. PUSHA decrements the
stack pointer (SP) by 16 to accommodate the required 8-word field. Because the registers
are pushed onto the stack in the order in which they were given, they appear in the 16 new
stack bytes in reverse order. The last register pushed is the DI register.
Operation It Performs
/* save stack pointer */
temp = SP;
/* push 16-bit general registers onto stack */
push(AX);
push(CX);
push(DX);
push(BX);
/* push stack pointer */
push(temp);

Examples
This example of an interrupt-service routine enables interrupts so that interrupt nesting can
occur, resets a device, disables interrupts until the interrupted procedure is resumed, and
then clears the in-service bits in the In-Service (INSERV) register by writing to the End-OfInterrupt (EOI) register.

Tips
Before you use PUSHA, use MOV to copy the stack segment to SS and the stack offset to
SP.
To prevent a called procedure from destroying register values that are necessary for the
successful execution of the calling procedure, use PUSHA at the beginning of each
procedure, and then use POPA at the end. If you want to pass a parameter to the calling
procedure using a general register, copy the parameter to the register after POPA.

RCL component,count
Description
RCL shifts CF into the bottom bit and shifts the top bit into CF. The second operand (count)
indicates the number of rotations. The operand is either an immediate number or the CL
register contents. The microcontroller does not allow rotation counts greater than 31. If the
count is greater than 31, only the bottom 5 bits of the operand are rotated.

/* save highest bit */
temp = mostSignificantBit(component);
/* shift left and fill vacancy with carry flag */
component = (component << 1) + CF;

Syntax
REP instruction
Description
REP is a prefix that repeatedly executes a single string instruction (INS, LODS, MOVS,
OUTS, or STOS). While CX is not 0 and ZF is 1, the microcontroller repeats the following
sequence of operations:
1. Acknowledges and services any pending interrupts
2. Executes the string instruction
3. Subtracts 1 from the unsigned number in CX
When CX is 0, the microcontroller begins executing the next instruction.
Operation It Performs
while (CX != 0)
/* repeat */
{
serviceInterrupts();
execute(instruction);
/* decrement counter */
CX = CX - 1;
if (ZF == 0)
/* not equal */
break;

What It Does
REPE and REPZ repeatedly execute a single string comparison instruction; an unsigned
number in CX tells the microcontroller the maximum number of times to execute the
instruction. Once the instruction compares two components and finds they are not equal,
the instruction is no longer executed.
See REPE on page 4-193 for a complete description.

What It Does
Used at the end of a called procedure, RET restores the Instruction Pointer (IP) register
and the Code Segment (CS) register (if necessary) and releases any input parameters from
the stack before resuming the calling procedure.
Syntax
RET
RET components
If the calling procedure doesn’t use the stack to pass input
parameters to this procedure, use this form. Also use this
form if the calling procedure uses the stack to pass input
parameters, and it requires this procedure to pass them
back as output parameters.
If the calling procedure uses the stack to pass input
parameters to this procedure, but it doesn’t need this
procedure to pass them back as output parameters,
use this form to return and pop the input parameters
from the stack.
Description
RET transfers control to a return address located on the stack. The address is usually
placed on the stack by a CALL instruction, and the return is made to the instruction that
follows the CALL instruction. The optional numeric parameter to the RET instruction gives
the number of stack bytes to be released after the return address is popped. These items
are typically used as input parameters to the called procedure. For the intrasegment (near)
return, the address on the stack is an offset, which is popped into the instruction pointer.
The CS register is unchanged.
For the intersegment (far) return, the address on the stack is a long pointer. The offset is
popped first, followed by the segment.

What It Does
ROL shifts the bits of a component to the left, overwrites the Carry Flag (CF) with the bit
shifted out of the component, and then copies CF to the lowest bit of the component.
Syntax
ROL component,count
Description
ROL shifts the bits upward, except for the top bit, which becomes the bottom bit; ROL also
copies the bit to CF. The second operand (count) indicates the number of rotations. The
operand is either an immediate number or the CL register contents. The microcontroller
does not allow rotation counts greater than 31. If count is greater than 31, only the bottom
5 bits of the operand are rotated.
Operation It Performs
while (i = count; i != 0; i--)
/* perform shifts */
{
/* store highest bit in carry flag */
CF = mostSignificantBit(component);
/* shift left and fill vacancy with bit shifted out */
component = (component << 1) + CF;

Syntax

Description
SAR shifts the bits of the operand downward and shifts the low-order bit into CF. The effect
is to divide the operand by 2. SAR performs a signed divide with rounding toward negative
infinity (unlike IDIV); the high-order bit remains the same. The second operand (count)
indicates the number of shifts to make. The operand is either an immediate number or the
CL register contents. The processor does not allow shift counts greater than 31; it only
uses the bottom five bits of the operand if it is greater than 31.
Operation It Performs

temp = mostSignificantBit(component);
while (i = count; i != 0; i--)
/* perform shifts */
{
/* save lowest bit in carry flag */

SBB subtracts an integer or an unsigned number and the value of the Carry Flag (CF) from
another number of the same type.
Syntax
SBB difference,subtrahend
Description
SBB adds the second operand (subtrahend) to CF and subtracts the result from the first
operand (difference). The result of the subtraction is assigned to the first operand and the
flags are set accordingly.
Operation It Performs
if (size(difference) == 16)
if (size(subtrahend) == 8)
/* extend sign of subtrahend */
if (subtrahend < 0)
subtrahend = 0xFF00 | subtrahend;
else
subtrahend = 0x00FF & subtrahend;
/* subtract with borrow */
difference = difference - subtrahend - CF;

This example subtracts one 32-bit integer in a register (the subtrahend) from another 32bit integer in memory (the minuend). This is accomplished by subtracting one word at a
time. The first subtraction uses SUB, and the subsequent subtraction uses SBB in case a
borrow was generated by the previous subtraction. (CF doubles as the borrow flag. If CF
is set, the previous subtraction generated a borrow. Otherwise, the previous subtraction
did not generate a borrow.)

Tips
To subtract an integer or an unsigned number located in memory from another number of
the same type that is also located in memory, copy one of them to a register before using
SBB.
SBB requires both operands to be the same size. Before subtracting an 8-bit integer from
a 16-bit integer, convert the 8-bit integer to its 16-bit equivalent using CBW. To convert an
8-bit unsigned number to its 16-bit equivalent, use MOV to copy 0 to AH.
To subtract numbers larger than 16 bits, use SUB to subtract the low words, and then use
SBB to subtract each of the subsequently higher words.
The processor does not provide an instruction that performs decimal subtraction. To
subtract decimal numbers, use SBB or SUB to perform binary subtraction, and then convert
the result to decimal using AAS or DAS.
ADC, ADD, SBB, and SUB set AF when the result needs to be converted for decimal
arithmetic. AAA, AAS, DAA, and DAS use AF to determine whether an adjustment is
needed. This is the only use for AF.

What It Does
SCAS compares a component in a string to a register.
Syntax
SCAS destination
SCASB
SCASW
To have the assembler type-check
your operand, use this form. The
assembler uses the definition of the
string component to determine which
register to use.
To compare AL to a byte within a string
located in the segment specified in
ES, use this form.
Regardless of the form of SCAS
you use, destination is always
ES:[DI]. Before using any form of
SCAS, make sure that ES contains
the segment of the string and DI
contains the offset of the string.
To compare AX to a word within a string
located in the segment specified in ES,
use this form.
Description
SCAS subtracts the memory byte or word at the destination index register from the AL or
AX register. The result is discarded and only the flags are set. The operand must be
addressable from the ES segment. No segment override is possible. The contents of the
destination index register determine the address of the memory data being compared, not
the SCAS instruction operand. The operand validates ES segment addressability and
determines the data type. Load the correct index value into the DI register before executing
the SCAS instruction.
After the comparison, the destination index register automatically updates. If the Direction
Flag (DF) is 0 (see CLD on page 4-231), the destination index register increments. If DF
is 1 (see STD on page 4-231), it decrements. The increment or decrement amount is 1 for
bytes or 2 for words.
The SCASB and SCASW instructions are synonyms for the byte and word SCAS
instructions that do not require operands. They are simpler to code, but provide no type or
segment checking.

Tips
Before using SCAS, always be sure to: set up DI with the offset of the string, set up CX
with the length of the string, and use CLD (forward) or STD (backward) to establish the
direction for string processing.
To scan a string for a value that is different from a given value, use the REPE (or REPZ)
prefix to execute SCAS repeatedly. If all the components match the given value, ZF is set
to 1.
To scan a string for a value that is the same as a given value, use the REPNE (or REPNZ)
prefix to execute SCAS repeatedly. If no components match the given value, ZF is cleared
to 0.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

What It Does

Syntax
SHR component,count
Description
SHR shifts the bits of the operand downward. SHR shifts the low-order bit into CF. The
effect is to divide the operand by 2. SHR performs an unsigned divide and clears the highorder bit. The second operand indicates the number of shifts to make. The operand is either
an immediate number or the CL register contents. The processor does not allow shift counts
greater than 31; it only uses the bottom 5 bits of the operand if it is greater than 31.
Operation It Performs
while (i = count; i != 0; i--)
/* perform shifts */
{
/* save lowest bit in carry flag */
CF = leastSignificantBit(component);
/* shift right and fill vacancy with 0 */
component = component >> 1;
}
if (count == 1)
/* single shift */
OF = temp;

Use SHR to isolate part of a component.
If the dividend will fit in a 16-bit register and you don’t need the remainder, use SHR to

Tips
You can use CF to indicate the outcome of a procedure, such as when searching a string
for a character. For instance, if the character is found, you can use STC to set CF to 1; if
the character is not found, you can use CLC to clear CF to 0. Then, subsequent instructions
that do not affect CF can use its value to determine the appropriate course of action.
To rotate a 1 into a component, use STC to set CF to 1 before using RCL or RCR.

What It Does

Syntax
STI
Description
STI sets the Interrupt-Enable Flag (IF). The processor responds to external interrupts after
executing the next instruction if that instruction does not clear IF. If external interrupts are
disabled and the program executes STI before a RET instruction (such as at the end of a
subroutine), RET executes before processing any external interrupts. If external interrupts
are disabled and the program executes STI before a CLI instruction, no external interrupts

Examples
This example of an interrupt-service routine: enables interrupts so that interrupt nesting
can occur, resets a device, disables interrupts until the interrupted procedure is resumed,
and then clears the in-service bits in the In-Service (INSERV) register by writing to the EndOf-Interrupt (EOI) register.

Tips
Before you use STI, make sure that the stack is initialized (SP and SS).
If you disable maskable interrupts using CLI, the microcontroller does not recognize
maskable interrupt requests until the instruction that follows STI is executed.
After using CLI to disable maskable interrupts, use STI to enable them as soon as possible
to reduce the possibility of missing maskable interrupt requests.
INT clears IF to 0.
IRET restores IF to its value prior to calling the interrupt routine.

What It Does
STOS copies a component from a register to a string.
Syntax
STOS destination
STOSB
STOSW
To have the assembler type-check
your operand, use this form. The
assembler uses the definition of the
string component to determine which
register to use.
To copy AL to a byte within a string
located in the segment specified in
ES, use this form.
Regardless of the form of STOS
you use, destination is always
ES:[DI]. Before using any form of
STOS, make sure that ES contains
the segment of the string and DI
contains the offset of the string.
To copy AX to a word within a string
located in the segment specified in ES,
use this form.
Description
STOS transfers the contents of the AL or AX register to the memory byte or word given by
the destination register (DI) relative to the ES segment. The destination operand must be
addressable from the ES register. A segment override is not possible. The contents of the
destination register determine the destination address. STOS does not use an explicit
operand. This operand only validates ES segment addressability and determines the data
type. You must load the correct index value into the destination register before executing
the STOS instruction.
After the transfer, STOS automatically updates the Destination Index (DI) register. If the
Direction Flag (DF) is 0 (see CLD on page 4-29), the register increments. If DF is 1 (see
STD on page 4-231), the register decrements. The increment or decrement amount is 1
for a byte or 2 for a word.
STOSB and STOSW are synonyms for the byte and word STOS instructions. These forms
do not require an operand and are simpler to use, but provide no type or segment checking.

Tips
Before using STOS, always be sure to: set up DI with the offset of the string, set up CX
with the length of the string, and use CLD (forward) or STD (backward) to establish the
direction for string processing.
To fill a string with a given value, use the REP prefix to execute STOS repeatedly.
To perform a custom operation on each component in a string, use LODS and STOS within
a loop. Within the loop, use the following sequence of instructions: Use LODS to copy a
component from memory, use other instructions to perform the custom operation, and then
use STOS to copy the component back to memory. To overwrite the original string with the
results, set up DI with the same offset as SI before beginning the loop.
The string instructions always advance SI and/or DI, regardless of the use of the REP prefix.
Be sure to set or clear DF before any string instruction.

Tips
To subtract an integer or an unsigned number located in memory from another number of
the same type that is also located in memory, copy one of them to a register before using
SUB.
SUB requires both operands to be the same size. Before subtracting an 8-bit integer from
a 16-bit integer, convert the 8-bit integer to its 16-bit equivalent using CBW. To convert an
8-bit unsigned number to its 16-bit equivalent, use MOV to copy 0 to AH.
To subtract numbers larger than 16 bits, use SUB to subtract the low words, and then use
SBB to subtract each of the subsequently higher words.
Use DEC instead of SUB within a loop when you want to decrease a value by 1 each time
the loop is executed.
The processor does not provide an instruction that performs decimal subtraction. To
subtract decimal numbers, use SBB or SUB to perform binary subtraction, and then convert
the result to decimal using AAS or DAS.
ADC, ADD, SBB, and SUB set AF when the result needs to be converted for decimal
arithmetic. AAA, AAS, DAA, and DAS use AF to determine whether an adjustment is
needed. This is the only use for AF.

Tips
To exchange two components that are both stored in memory, use MOV to copy the first
component to a register, use XCHG to exchange the register with the second component,
and then use MOV again to copy the register to the first component.
XCHG requires both operands to be the same size. To convert an 8-bit integer to its 16bit equivalent, use CBW. To convert a 16-bit integer to its 32-bit equivalent, use CWD. To
convert another type of component to its extended equivalent, use MOV to copy 0 to the
high byte or word.
You cannot use XCHG to exchange a word with a segment register. To copy a segment
address to a segment register, use MOV to copy the segment address to a general register,
and then use MOV to copy the value in the general register to the segment register.

XLAT translates the offset index of a byte stored in memory to the value of that byte.
Syntax
XLAT base
XLATB
Use this form to override the default source segment
(DS), and to have the assembler type-check your
operand. In this form, base is segment:[BX].
To translate AL to the value of the byte
located at offset [BX][AL] in the segment
specified in DS, use this form.
Description
XLAT changes the AL register from the table index to the table entry. The AL register should
be an unsigned index into a table addressed by the DS:BX register pair.
The operand allows for the possibility of a segment override, but the instruction uses the
contents of the BX register even if it differs from the offset of the operand. Load the operand
offset into the BX register—and the table index into AL—before executing XLAT.
Use the no-operand form, XLATB, if the table referenced by BX resides in the DS segment.
Operation It Performs
/* extend index */
temp = 0x00FF & AL;
/* store indexed component in AL */
AL = DS:[BX + temp];

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
This appendix provides several tables that summarize the instructions for the Am186 and
Am188 family of microcontrollers:
n Table A-2, “Instruction Set Summary by Mnemonic,” on page A-3
n Table A-3, “Instruction Set Summary by Opcode,” on page A-10
n Table A-4, “Instruction Set Summary by Partial Opcode,” on page A-20
The variables used in these tables are described in Table A-1 on page A-2. Table A-4 also
uses the variables in Table A-5 on page A-22. The format for the instructions is described
in "Forms of the Instruction" on page 2-4.
Instruction Set Summary
A-1
Table A-1
Variables Used In Instruction Set Summary Tables
Variable Function
Values Description
d
0
to r/m
1
to reg
Specifies direction.
data-8
data-low
data-high
data-SX
Specifies a non-address constant data used by the
instruction. The "8" indicates an 8-bit constant; "low",
the low-order byte of a 16-bit constant; "high", the
high order byte of a 16-bit constant; and "SX", an 8bit constant that is sign-extended for a 16-bit
operation.
disp-8
disp-low
disp-high
Specifies the displacement. The "8" indicates an 8bit displacement; "low", the low-order byte of a 16-bit
displacement; and "high", the high-order byte of a 16bit displacement. For some forms of MOV, specifies
a 0-relative address.
mod
Along with r/m, determines the effective address of 11
the memory operand.
00
1
r/m is treated as a reg field

DH, if w=0 or implicit 8-bit
SI, if w=1 or implicit 16-bit
BH, if w=0 or implicit 8-bit
DI, if w=1 or implicit 16-bit
no sign extension
sign-extend (for 16-bit operations only, w=1)
00
ES register
01
CS register
10
SS register
11
DS register
0
8-bit value
1
16-bit value
01
10
r/m
Along with mod, determines the effective address of 000
the memory operand.
001
010
011
100
101
110
111
reg
Represents a register, and is assigned according to 000
the value of w and reg.
001
010
011
100
101
110
111
s
Specifies immediate operand sign-extension.
seg-low
seg-high
Specifies the segment base address value.
Represents the high-order 16 bits of a 20-bit address,
with an implicit 4 low-order 0 bits.
sreg
Specifies a segment register.
w
XXX YYY
Specifies an 8- or 16-bit value.
0
Specifies opcode to proc. ext.
Notes:
1 – DISP follows the operand address (before data if required).
2 – The physical addresses of all operands addressed by the BP register are computed using the SS segment register. The physical addresses
of the destination operands of the string primitive operations (those addressed by the DI register) are computed using the ES segment, which
cannot be overridden.
