The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20 (16bits would only address 64KB of memory, an extra 4 bits allows to address the total of 1MB, this is done trough segmentation of the memory). To form a multiplexed of data bus and address bus, four bits of 8086 address bus are grounded.
a byte is abasic storage unit in memory. when application program instructions and data are transferd to memory from storage devices. byte addressable memory refers to memory address that is accessed one byte (8 bits) at a time as opposed to 2 byte(16 bits), 4 byte(32 bits) or 8 byte(64 bits) addressable memory.
The CPU registers. If the data is too large to physically store in a register, the register stores the memory address containing the data instead (usually a RAM address but could be any address in the physical address space, including ROM and graphic memory). On a 32-bit system, data registers need to be at least 32-bits long in order to store memory addresses.
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
All data is stored in the same memory locations being it permanent or temporary memory, programs and data are essentially the same thing . The way that the data is differentiated is by using memory locations assigned to data string or information. In other words different data location address's for different data bits. Hope i helped.
HI I am Ahtarva,The addressibility is how many bits does that particular processor or micro-controller's architecture use to specify the address of a memory location in the memory. For example if someone say that addressibility is 8 bit then your memory address contains 8 bits and at maximum you have 2^8 different memory locations (or say memory addresses in your device). Here 2^8 is called Address space.
The contents of the stack pointer and program counter are loaded into the address buffer and address-data buffer. These buffers are then used to drive the external address bus and address-data bus. As the memory and I/O chips are connected to these buses, the CPU can exchange desired data to the memory and I/O chips. The address-data buffer is not only connected to the external data bus but also to the internal data bus which consists of 8-bits. The address data buffer can both send and receive data from internal data bus.
A memory with a 16 bit address bus can address 216 or 65536 distinct items. If each item is 32 bits in size, then the item is 4 bytes. The size of this memory is then 262144 bytes. (256Kb)
it is when you put data in a form of structure on a memory disk or anything that inputs something.

A 16-bit uP operates on instructions and data in 16-bit quantities. Therefore the databus is 16-bits. A 16-bit uP may also operate on larger quantities of data, however multiple CPU registers must be concatenated in order to maintain the data element in the uP register space. The data is always delivered to the processor 16 bits at a time. The amount of memory which it can address is a separate issue---the address bus size is totally distinct from the data bus size. The data bus determines how much memory may be delivered to the uP per cycle. The address bus size determines how much physical memory may actually be accessed by the uP. Therefore it is variable depending on how much memory is available. Typical systems today have 32-bit address busses which limit addressable memory to 4Gigabytes. (2^32) = 4G.
The 8086/8088 has an internal 20-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus. Externally, the address bus is 20-bits, and the data bus is 16-bits for the 8086 and 8-bits for the 8088.The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20.
