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.

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 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  ...

Logical Group Instructions (Part-I) - ANA and ANI

ANA R:  This instruction logically AND the contents of the specified register with the contents of the accumulator. Register R can be any 8-bit general purpose register like A, B, C, D, E, H and L. The result is stored in the accumulator. S (Sign flag), Z (Zero flag), P (Parity flag) are modified. CY (Carry flag) is reset and AC (Auxiliary Carry flag) is set. It is a one byte instruction. Register addressing mode is used. Example: If A = 0101 1001 = 59H and B = 0000 0011 = 03H ANA B ; This instruction will logically AND the contents of A (59H) with the contents of B (03H) and the result (01H) is stored in A. ANA M: This instruction logically AND the contents of the memory location pointed by HL register pair with the contents of the accumulator. The result is stored in the accumulator. S (Sign flag), Z (Zero flag), P (Parity flag) are modified. CY (Carry flag) is reset and AC (Auxiliary Carry flag) is set. It is a one byte instruction. Register indirect a...
