8086 Quick Overview Dr J Vaughan
To form a 20-bit effective address, the four LSBs of the offset become bits 0-3 of the
effective address. Bits 4 - 19 of the effective address are constructed by adding bits 4-
15 of the offset to bits 0-15 of the segment address.
For instance, suppose the CS register contains 302H and the IP contains 2A57H.
Then, the code segment address is 3020H and the effective address is 5A77H.
