I SYSTEM BÜSl
A system bus is used for 16-bit processor 8088 to control the entire
system. The system bus consists of a 20-bit address bus with 1 MB
8
address space, -bit data bus, and a control bus for read/write
control and system bus controlled by a microprogram.
The memory area appropriated for 8088 processor is divided into
two as shown in Fig. 1.2.3; One is the system memory area and the
other is I/O memory area.
This memory area division is performed automatically within the same
address area of 20 bits - 1 MB by a microprogram.
