Data Transfer Group Instructions (Part-II)

MVI R, 8-bit data:
  • This instruction moves the 8-bit immediate data to the specified register.
  • This data is given in the instruction itself.
  • R can be any 8-bit general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a two byte instruction.
  • Immediate addressing mode is used in this instruction.
Example:
MVI C, 09H
MVI H, 34H

MVI M, 8-bit data: 
  • This instruction moves the 8-bit immediate data to the memory location pointed by HL register pair.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a two byte instruction.
  • Immediate and indirect addressing mode is used in this instruction.
Example:
MVI M, 35H
MVI M, 20H


LXI Rp, 16-bit data:
  • This instruction moves the 16-bit data to the register pair.
  • Only high order register is specified for register pair.
  • Rp can be BC, DE, HL or SP.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Immediate addressing mode is used in this instruction.
Example:
LXI B, 2030H ; This instruction will load 20H into B register and 30H into C register.
LXI H, 5600H ; This instruction will load 56H into H register and 00H into L register.


NOTE: MVI B, 20H and MVI C, 21H are two instructions used to move 16-bit data 2021H to BC register pair. These two instructions uses 2 bytes each. So total of 4 bytes are used. They can be replaced by one instruction LXI B, 2021H. This instruction uses 3 bytes.

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  ...

Program to add the contents of two memory locations

Statement: Add the contents of memory locations 2000H and 2001H and place the result in the memory locations 2002H and 2003H. Example: (2000H) = C3H (2001H) = 29H Result = C3H + A9H = 016CH (2002H) = 6CH (2003H) = 01H Program: LXI H, 2000H                   ; HL points to location 2000H MOV A, M                        ; Move the contents of 2000H into accumulator INX H                                ; HL points to location 2001H ADD M                              ; Add the contents of 2001H with the contents of accumulator INX H                                ; HL points to location 2002H MOV M, A      ...
