Converting assembly language to machine language

The general instruction for converting assembly language into machine code is given below:

Opcode: Operation code

Operation Opcode
MOV 100010
ADD 000000
SUB 010010
XOR 001100
IN 111001

D: Direction to register or from register

=1 if destination is considered

=0 if source is considered

W: Word or byte

=0 for 8 bit register

=1 for 16 bit register

MOD: Register mode or memory mode with displacement

MOD Indication
00 Memory mode, no displacement
01 Memory mode, with 8 bit displacement.
For example: [BX]+12H
10 Memory mode, with 16 bit displacement.
For example: [BX]+1234H
11 Register mode, no displacement
REG: Identifies a register which is one of the instruction operands.

REG W=0 W=1


000 AL AX
001 CL CX
010 DL DX
011 BL BX, DS
100 AH SP
101 CH BP
110 DH SI
111 BH DI

R/M: Register/Memory coding

– Depends on the MOD field

• If MOD = 11, then R/M field acts as a REG field (used for register to-register operations and other
cases).

• If MOD ≠ 11, then R/M indicates how the effective address of the operand is calculated.
Example-1: Convert the following assembly language into machine language.

MOV BL,AL

Solution:

Here, opcode: MOV

Assume, destination register is considered (BL)

hence, Opcode: 100010

D=1

W=0

REG: 011

MOD: 11

R/M: 000
Byte 1 Byte 2
1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0
Opcode D W Mod REG R/M

Example-2: Repeat example-1 considering register as source.

Solution:

Here, AL is source register.

Here, opcode: MOV

Assume, source register is considered (AL)

hence, Opcode: 100010

D=0

W=0

REG: 000

MOD: 11

R/M: 011

Byte 1 Byte 2
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1
Opcode D W Mod REG R/M

Example-3: ADD AX,[SI]

Solution:

Here, opcode: ADD

Assume, destination register is considered (AX)

Hence, Opcode: 000000

D=1
W=1

REG: 000

MOD: 00

R/M: 100

Byte 1 Byte 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
Opcode D W Mod REG R/M

Example-4: ADD AX, [SI] + 12H

Solution:

Here, opcode: ADD

Assume, destination register is considered (AX)

Hence, Opcode: 000000

D=1

W=1

REG: 000

MOD: 01

R/M: 100

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3


0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
Opcode D W Mod REG R/M Displacement
Assignment:

Example-5: ADD AX, [SI]+1234H

Example-6: XOR CL, [1234H]

Solution: Here, opcode: XOR

Destination register is CL

Hence, Opcode: 001100

D=1

W=0

REG: 001

MOD: 00

R/M: 110

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3


0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0
Opcode D W Mod REG R/M Lower byte
Byte 4
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
Higher byte
