Data Transfer Group Instructions (Part-III)

LDA addr: 
  • This instruction copies the contents of the memory location to the accumulator.
  • The address of the memory location is given in the instruction itself.
  • No flags are modified.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Direct addressing mode is used.
Example:
If (5600H) = 20H
LDA 5600H ; This instruction loads the contents of location 5600H i.e. 20H into A.

If (1000H) = 1FH
LDA 1000H ; This instruction loads the contents of location 1000H i.e. 1FH into A.

STA addr: 
  • This instruction stores the contents of the accumulator in the memory location.
  • The address of the memory location is given in the instruction itself.
  • No flags are modified.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Direct addressing mode is used.
Example:
If A = 34H
STA 5800H ; This instruction copies the contents of A i.e. 34H to location 5800H.

If A = 32H
STA 1500H ; This instruction copies the contents of A i.e. 32H to location 1500H.

LHLD addr: 
  • This instruction copies the contents of the memory location to the H and L registers.
  • The address of the memory location is given in the instruction itself.
  • The contents of the memory location specified is transferred to L register and the contents of the next memory location is transferred to H register.
  • No flags are modified.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Direct addressing mode is used.
Example:
LHLD 2200H ; This instruction will copy the contents of location 2200H into L register and the contents of location 2201H into H register.

LHLD 5820H ; This instruction will copy the contents of location 5820H into L register and the contents of location 5821H into H register.

SHLD addr:
  • This instruction copies the contents of registers H and L in the memory location.
  • The address of the memory location is given in the instruction itself.
  • The contents of L register is stored in the memory location specified and the contents of H register is stored in the next memory location.
  • No flags are modified.
  • It is a three byte instruction.
  • Direct addressing mode is used.
Example:
SHLD 2000H ; This instruction will copy the contents of L register to location 2000H and the contents of H register to location 2001H.

SHLD 4320H ; This instruction will copy the contents of L register to location 4320H and the contents of H register to location 4321H.

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  ...

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

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...
