THE 80286 INSTRUCTION SET
xb: a simple byte memory variable without a base or index register. MOY instructions between AL
and memory have this optimized form if
no indexing is required. ..
xw: a simple word memory variable without a base or index register. MOY instructions between AX
and memory have this optimized form if
no indexing is required.
Clocks
This column gives the number of clock cycles that this form of the instruction .takes to execute. The
amount of time for each clock cycle
is computed by dividing one microsecond by the number of MHz
at which the 80286 is running. For example, a lO-MHz 80286 (with the eLK pin connected to a
20-MHz crystal) takes
100 nanoseconds for each clock cycle.
Add one clock to instructioris that use the base plus index plus displacement form of addressing. Add
two clocks for each 16-bit memory based operand reference located
on an odd physical address. Add
one clock for each wait state added to each memory read. Wait states inserted in memory writes or
instruction fetches do not necessarily increase execution time.
The clock counts establish the maximum execution rate of the 80286. With
no delays in bus cycles,
the actual clock count
of an 80286 program will average 5-10% more than the calculated cl()ck count
due to instruction sequences that execute faster than they can be fetched from memory.
Some instruction forms give two clock counts, one unlabelled and one labelled. These counts indicate
that the instruction has two different clock times for two different circumstances. Following are the
circumstances for each possible label:
mem: The instruction has an operand that can either be a register or a memory variable. The unlabelled
time
is for the register; the mem time is for the memory variable. Also, one additional clock cycle is
taken for indexed memory variables for which all three possible indices (base register, index register,
and displacement) must be added.
noj: The instruction involves a conditional jump or interrupt. The unlabelled time holds when the
jump is made; the noj time holds when the jump is not made.
pm: If the instruction takes more time to execute when the 80286 is in Protected Mode. The unlabelled
time
is for Real Address Mode; the pm time is for Protected Mode.

Flags Modified
This is a list of the flags that are set to a meaningful value by the instruction. If a flag is always set to
the same value by the instruction, the value
is given ("=0" or "= I") after the flag name. .
