Machine Control Instructions (Part-I) - RIM and SIM

By
RIM:
  • RIM stands for Read Interrupt Mask.
  • This instruction is used to copy the status of the interrupts into the accumulator.
  • This instruction is also used to read the serial data through the SID (Serial Input Data) pin.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Implied addressing mode is used.
Example:
If after execution of RIM instruction, A = 0100 1011 = 4BH


It shows that RST 7.5 is pending, RST5.5 and RST 6.5 are masked, interrupt enable flip flop is set and SID is zero.

SIM:
  • SIM stands for Serial Interrupt Mask.
  • This instruction is used to mask the interrupts as desired.
  • The command byte which is used to mask the interrupts is loaded into the accumulator.
  • This instruction is also used to send the serial data through the SOD (Serial Output Data) pin.
  • No flags are affected.
  • It is a one byte instruction.
  • Implied addressing mode is used.
Example:
If we want to mask RST 7.5 and RST 6.5 and unmask RST 5.5, then accumulator should be loaded with 0EH i.e. A = 0000 1110 = 0EH.


It will also disable serial output data.

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  ...

Program to add the contents of two memory locations

By
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      ...
