Arithmetic Group Instructions (Part-III)

SUB R:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of specified register from the contents of the accumulator.
  • Register R can by any general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • Subtraction is performed by 2's complement method.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register addressing mode is used.
Example:
If A =50H and C = 30H
SUB C ; This instruction subtracts the contents of C (30H) from the contents of A (50H) and the result (20H) is stored in A.

SUB M:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of the memory location pointed by HL register pair from the contents of the accumulator.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • Subtraction is performed by 2's complement method.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register indirect addressing mode is used.
Example:
If HL = 1000H, (1000H) = 10H and A = 40H
SUB M ; This instruction subtracts the contents of location 1000H i.e. 10H from the contents of A (40H) and result 30H is stored in A.

SBB R:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of specified register and carry flag (borrow flag for subtraction) from the contents of the accumulator.
  • Register R can by any general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register addressing mode is used.
Example:
If CY = 1, A = 40H and C = 20H
SBB C ; This instruction subtracts the contents of C (20H) and carry (1) from the contents of A (40H) and the result (1FH) is stored in A.

SBB M:
  • This instruction subtract the contents of the memory location pointed by HL register pair and borrow flag from the contents of the accumulator.
  • The result is stored in accumulator.
  • All flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Register indirect addressing mode is used.
Example:
If CY = 1, HL =1000H, (1000H) = 10H and A = 50H
SBB M ; This instruction subtracts the contents of location 1000H i.e. 10H and carry (1) from the contents of A (50H) and result 3FH is stored in A.

Logical Group Instructions (Part-VI) - RLC, RRC, RAL, RAR

RLC: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the left by one bit. It will shift B0 to B1, B1 to B2,............B7 to B0 as well as to carry flag . Only CY flag is modified. It is a one byte instruction. Implied addressing mode is used. Before execution: After execution: Example: If A = 0101 0111 = 57H and CY = 1 RLC ; Now A = 10101110 = AEH and CY = 0. RRC: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the right by one bit. It will shift B7 to B6, B6 to B5,............B0 to B7 as well as to carry flag. Only CY flag is modified. It is a one byte instruction. Implied addressing mode is used. Before execution: After execution: Example: If A = 1001 1010 = 9AH and CY = 1 RLC ; Now A = 0100 1101 = 4DH and CY = 0. RAL: This instruction rotates the contents of accumulator to the left by one bit along with the carry . It will shift B0 to B1, B1 to B2,............B7 to CY and CY to B0 . Only CY flag is modifi...

Program to pack the two unpacked BCD numbers

Statement: Pack the two unpacked BCD numbers stored in memory locations 2000H and 2001H and store the result in memory location 2002H. The least significant digit is stored at 2000H. Example: (2000H) = 04H (2001H) = 09H Result = (2002H) = 94H Program: LDA 2001H                        ; Obtain the most significant BCD digit RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left  RLC                                    ; Rotate left...

Program to exchange the contents of two memory locations

Statement: Exchange the contents of memory locations 2000H and 2001H. Example:  Initially, (2000H) = 34H (2001H) = 20H After exchanging, (2000H) = 20H (2001H) = 34H Program 1 using direct addressing instructions: LDA 2000H               ; Get the contents of location 2000H into accumulator MOV B, A                  ; Move the contents of accumulator into register B LDA 2001H                ; Get the contents of location 2001H into accumulator STA 2000H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2000H MOV A, B                  ; Move the contents of register B into accumulator STA 2001H                 ; Store the contents of accumulator into location 2001H HLT  ...
