This file is the Am186 and Am188 family instruction set manual published by AMD in 1997, which introduces the characteristics and features of AMD's E86™ family that meet customer requirements for low system cost, high performance, high scalability, and low power consumption.
This document serves as the official instruction set reference for the AMD Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers. These 16-bit devices are based on the architecture of the original Intel 8086 and 8088 processors, designed to meet requirements for low system cost and high performance in embedded systems.
The manual is structured into four main chapters: a programming overview covering registers and memory organization; an instruction set overview detailing format and notation; a comprehensive listing of instructions by functional type and alphabetically; and detailed descriptions of each individual instruction including operation, flag settings, and examples.
This manual is intended for computer hardware and software engineers and system architects who are designing or considering designing systems based on the Am186 and Am188 family of microcontrollers.
The manual covers the Am186 and Am188 families, which include models such as the 80C186, 80C188, 80L186, 80L188, and various EM/ER/ES variants.
The primary purpose is to describe the standard 186 instruction set shared by all members of the Am186 and Am188 family.
