Addressing Modes
3-1 Object:
To study and understand every type of addressing mode, and executed each type by
using EMU8086 software.
3-2 Theory:
the way of specifying data to be operated by an instruction is known as addressing
modes. This specifies that the given data is an immediate data or an address. It also
specifies whether the given operand is register or register pair.
Types of addressing modes:
1. Register mode – In this type of addressing mode both the operands are registers.
Example:
MOV AX, BX
XOR AX, DX
ADD AL, BL
2. Immediate mode – In this type of addressing mode the source operand is a 8 bit or
16 bit data. Destination operand can never be immediate data.
Example:
MOV AX, 2000
MOV CL, 0A
ADD AL, 45
AND AX, 0000
Note that to initialize the value of segment register an register is required.
3. Displacement or direct mode – In this type of addressing mode the effective
address is directly given in the instruction as displacement.
Example:
MOV AX, [DISP]
MOV AX, [0500]
4. Register indirect mode – In this addressing mode the effective address is in SI, DI
or BX.
Example:
MOV AX, [DI]
ADD AL, [BX]

MOV AX, [SI]
5. Based indexed mode – In this the effective address is sum of base register and index
register.
Base register: BX, BP
Index register: SI, DI
The physical memory address is calculated according to the base register.
Example:
MOV AL, [BP+SI]
MOV AX, [BX+DI]
6. Indexed mode – In this type of addressing mode the effective address is sum of
index register and displacement.
Example:
MOV AX, [SI+2000]
MOV AL, [DI+3000]
7. Based mode – In this the effective address is the sum of base register and
displacement.
Example:
MOV AL, [BP+ 0100]
8. Based indexed displacement mode – In this type of addressing mode the effective
address is the sum of index register, base register and displacement.
Example:
MOV AL, [SI+BP+2000]
9. String mode – This addressing mode is related to string instructions. In this the
value of SI and DI are auto incremented and decremented depending upon the value
of directional flag.
Example:
MOVS B
MOVS W
10. Input/Output mode – This addressing mode is related with input output operations.
Example:
IN A, 45
OUT A, 50

11. Relative mode –In this the effective address is calculated with reference to
instruction pointer.
Example:
JNZ 8 bit address
IP=IP+8 bit address
12. Implied Addressing- Instructions using this mode have no operands. The
instruction itself will specify the data to be operated by the instruction.
Example: CLC
3-3 Procedures:
1. Write the following program, which is a program for data transfer using different
addressing modes
.model small
.data
Num dw 4321h
.code
Mov ax,@data ; Initialize the data segment
Mov ds, ax
Mov ax, 1234h
Mov bx, ax
Mov ax, num
Mov si, 1000h
Mov al, [si]
Mov bl, [si+100h]
Mov bx, 1000h
Mov ax, [si+bx]
Mov cx, [si+bx+100h]
hlt
End
2. Run the program in single step mode, and then record the following
Step 1: AX =
Step 2: DS =
Step 3: AX =
Step 4: BX =
Step 5: AX =
Step 6: SI =
Step 7: AL =
Step 8: BL =
Step 9: BX =
Step 10: AX =
