Microprocessors & Microcontrollers8086 Segmentation

The 8086 physical address is calculated from segment and offset as?

  • ASegment × 16 + offset
  • BSegment + offset only
  • CSegment × 256 + offset
  • DOffset × 16 + segment
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Segment × 16 + offset
Explanation: A segment value is shifted left by four bits, equivalent to multiplying by 16, and the offset is then added.
Reference: Standard microprocessors and microcontrollers: 8086 segmentation
