Question

What are the difference between maximum mode and minimum mode operation of 8086 microprocessor?

Answer 1

Maximum Mode 8086 processor:

In the maximum mode, the 8086 is worked by strapping the MN/MX pin to ground. In this mode, the processor originates the status signal S2, S1, S0.  

Minimum code of 8086 processor:

In minimum mode there can be only 1 processor i.e. 8086.

In a minimum mode 8086 system, the microprocessor 8086 is worked in minimum mode by strapping its MN/MX pin to logic 1.
