AMD Am186/Am188 Family Instruction Set Manual
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.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the intended audience for this manual?
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.
Which specific microcontroller models does this manual cover?
The manual covers the Am186 and Am188 families, which include models such as the 80C186, 80C188, 80L186, 80L188, and various EM/ER/ES variants.
What is the difference between Am186ED and Am186EDLV?
The primary difference is that Am186EDLV supports low-voltage operation (3.3-V + 0.3-V), whereas Am186ED does not.
