Branching Group Instructions (Part-I) - Jump and Conditional jump

By
JMP addr:
  • This instruction loads the program counter with the address given in the instruction.
  • Then the program execution continues from this location.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Immediate addressing mode is used since the operand is given in the instruction itself.
Example:
JMP 5600H ; This instruction will load PC with 5600H and processor will fetch next instruction from 5600H.

JMP C240H ; This instruction will load PC with C240H and processor will fetch next instruction from C240H.

Jcond addr:
  • If the condition is true or satisfied, then this instruction causes a jump to an address given in the instruction.
  • If the condition is false or not satisfied, then this instruction just check and proceed further to execute the next instruction after it.
  • If condition is true, PC = addr and if condition is false, PC = PC + 3.
  • No flags are affected. Flags are only checked.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Immediate addressing mode is used since the operand is given in the instruction itself.
NOTE: There is no jump on AC (Auxiliary Carry) flag.

Example:
JZ C200H ; This instruction will cause a jump to an address C200H and program counter will load  with C200H if Z = 1. But if Z = 0 then the next instruction will be executed.

JP 4320H ; This instruction will cause a jump to an address 4320H and program counter will load  with 4320H if S = 0. But if S = 1 then the next instruction will be executed.

Program to pack the two unpacked BCD numbers

By
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

By
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  ...

Stack Operations Instructions (Part-II) - SPHL and XTHL

By
SPHL: This instruction copies the contents of HL register pair to the stack pointer (SP). It means that the stack pointer will now point to the memory location whose address was given in the HL register pair. No flags are affected. It is a one byte instruction. Register addressing mode is used. Example: If HL = 2030H, then SPHL ; This instruction will copy 2030H into SP. So SP will point to the memory location 2030H. XTHL: This instruction exchanges the contents of the memory location pointed by stack pointer with the contents of the L register and the contents of the next memory location with the contents of H register. This instruction does not alter the contents of the stack pointer. No flags are affected. It is a one byte instruction. Register Indirect addressing mode is used. Example: If HL = 5601H, SP = 2000H, (2000H) = 30H and (2001H) = 20H, then XTHL ; This instruction will exchange the contents of the memory location 2000H i.e. 3...
