Instruction is simmilar to the MUL except that operands are assumed to be signed numbers.

The source operand specified in the instuction is multiplied with accumulator.

Example:

IMUL BL

If AL=80H, BL=20H

content of AL is treated as signed no. Which is 2'compliment of 128

-128*32=-4096

2'compliment of it is stored in AX i.e. F000H
