    Diagram Explain
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the pin connections of the 8086 microprocessor, which has 40 pins divided into functional groups known as buses. The three main buses are the data bus, address bus, and control bus, with the data bus being bidirectional and the address bus being unidirectional. The same pins are used for both data and addresses at different times, which is a key feature compared to earlier microprocessors. The second diagram illustrates the internal connections and functional parts of the processor. Additional resources, including images and diagrams, are suggested for further clarification.

I am trying to figure how the pins of 8086 are connected to different elements in the circuit?
I don't understand how at this level the pins can be connected. can you explain?
Is the second diagram suppose to be the internal view of the first diagram?
The figure shows that there are 40 pin on that IC. How and where are all these pins used?

Not quite sure what your questions means but here is some information.

The pins in devices like microprocessors are divided into functional groups called busses.

In the 8086 there are 3 main busses, in addition to a few clock, power, ground and miscellaneous pins.

The Data Bus
The Address Bus
The Control Bus.

The data bus is bidirectional so that the chip can read in or out the data.
One of the lines or pins on the control bus determines which way the data flows.
There are again 16 lines (pins) on the data bus.

The address bus simply informs the outside circuitry which memory address is required for access so is basically unidirectional. It has 16 lines or pins, labelled AD0 through AD15.

Now the 'clever' part is that the same pins are used for both data and addresses, but not at the same time. This is unlike the predecessor chips, the 8080 and 8085.


The control bus is self explanatory.

Your second diagram shows the busses and the internal connections as 'wide' arrows between the registers which receive, hold and transmit the data and other functoinal parts of the processor.

I used Google Images to get some good pin/block diagrams of 8086s:

This one in particular may be of help...

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
