8085 Microprocessor Logical Instructions

YASH PAL,

8085 Microprocessor Logical Instructions – Logic instructions perform logic operations such as AND, OR, Exclusive-OR, NOT, rotate, and compare on the data of registers, memory locations, and immediate data. All logical instructions have one operand in the accumulator. The result is also stored in the accumulator.

Ex-ORing Operations

XRA RLogically EX-OR the contents of register R with the accumulator contents. The result is stored in the accumulator.
OperationA ← A ExOR R
Length1 byte
Addressing modeRegister addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result with CY = 0 and AC = 1.
XRA MLogically EX-OR the contents of the memory location pointed by the HL register pair with the accumulator contents. The result is stored in the accumulator.
OperationA ← A ExOR [HL]
Length1 byte
Addressing modeIndirect addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result with CY = 0 and AC = 1.
XRI data (8-bit)Logically EX-OR the 8-bit immediate data with the accumulator contents and store the result in the accumulator.
OperationA ← A ExOR data
Length2 byte
Addressing modeImmediate addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result with CY = 0 and AC = 1.

Complement Operation

CMAComplement the contents of the accumulator.
OperationA ← A
Length1 byte
Addressing modeImplicit addressing mode
FlagsNo flag is affected.

Compare Operations

CMP RCompare (subtract) the contents of register R with the contents of the accumulator. The result of the subtraction operation is not stored.
OperationA – R
Length1 byte
Addressing modeRegister addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result. The result of the comparison can be obtained with the help of flags as follows:
A > R if CY = 0, Z = 0
A = R if CY = 0, Z = 1
A < R if CY = 1, Z = 0
CMP MCompare (subtract) the contents of the memory location pointed by register pair HL with the contents of the accumulator. The result is not stored.
OperationA – [HL]
Length1 byte
Addressing modeIndirect addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result. The result of the comparison can be obtained with the help of flags as follows:
A > M if CY = 0, Z = 0
A = M if CY = 0, Z = 1
A < M if CY = 1, Z = 0
CPI data (8 bit)Compare (subtract) the immediate data with the contents of the accumulator. The result is not stored.
OperationA – data
Length2 byte
Addressing modeImmediate addressing mode
FlagsAll flags are affected according to the result. The result of the comparison can be obtained with the help of flags as follows:
A > data if CY = 0, Z = 0
A = data if CY = 0, Z = 1
A < data if CY = 1, Z = 0
