The Intel 8086 microprocessor architecture is designed for two modes namely the minimum mode and the maximum mode. When only one 8086 CPU is to be used in a microcomputer system the 8086 is used in the minimum mode. In this mode, the CPU issues the control signals required by memory and input/output device. In a multiprocessor system, it operates in maximum mode, in this mode, the control signals are generated with the help of an external bus controller (8088).
