Can arithmetic be performed in the A register?
On platforms with specialized registers, the A register is usually an accumulator, whose primary function is to store the results (and possibly provide a parameter of) an arithmetic function. In Intel code, for example, add ax,bx adds the contents of ax and bx together, and stores the sum in ax. RISC processors generally do not have specialized registers in this sense, and instead name most their registers generically (e.g. r0, r1, r2...). This allows any general register to perform any general function, including arithmetic. For specific chip dialects, please refer to that chipset's programming manual.

8085 Instruction Set Page 1 8085 INSTRUCTION SET INSTRUCTION DETAILS DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS Opcode Operand Description Copy from source to destination MOV Rd, Rs This instruction copies the contents of the source M, Rs register into the destination register; the contents of Rd, M the source register are not altered. If one of the operands is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. Example: MOV B, C or MOV B, M Move immediate 8-bit MVI Rd, data The 8-bit data is stored in the destination register or M, data memory. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. Example: MVI B, 57H or MVI M, 57H Load accumulator LDA 16-bit address The contents of a memory location, specified by a 16-bit address in the operand, are copied to the accumulator. The contents of the source are not altered. Example: LDA 2034H Load accumulator indirect LDAX B/D Reg. pair The contents of the designated register pair point to a memory location. This instruction copies the contents of that memory location into the accumulator. The contents of either the register pair or the memory location are not altered. Example: LDAX B Load register pair immediate LXI Reg. pair, 16-bit data The instruction loads 16-bit data in the register pair designated in the operand. Example: LXI H, 2034H or LXI H, XYZ Load H and L registers direct LHLD 16-bit address The instruction copies the contents of the memory location pointed out by the 16-bit address into register L and copies the contents of the next memory location into register H. The contents of source memory locations are not altered. Example: LHLD 2040H 8085 Instruction Set Page 2 Store accumulator direct STA 16-bit address The contents of the accumulator are copied into the memory location specified by the operand. This is a 3-byte instruction, the second byte specifies the low-order address and the third byte specifies the high-order address. Example: STA 4350H Store accumulator indirect STAX Reg. pair The contents of the accumulator are copied into the memory location specified by the contents of the operand (register pair). The contents of the accumulator are not altered. Example: STAX B Store H and L registers direct SHLD 16-bit address The contents of register L are stored into the memory location specified by the 16-bit address in the operand and the contents of H register are stored into the next memory location by incrementing the operand. The contents of registers HL are not altered. This is a 3-byte instruction, the second byte specifies the low-order address and the third byte specifies the high-order address. Example: SHLD 2470H Exchange H and L with D and E XCHG none The contents of register H are exchanged with the contents of register D, and the contents of register L are exchanged with the contents of register E. Example: XCHG Copy H and L registers to the stack pointer SPHL none The instruction loads the contents of the H and L registers into the stack pointer register, the contents of the H register provide the high-order address and the contents of the L register provide the low-order address. The contents of the H and L registers are not altered. Example: SPHL Exchange H and L with top of stack XTHL none The contents of the L register are exchanged with the stack location pointed out by the contents of the stack pointer register. The contents of the H register are exchanged with the next stack location (SP+1); however, the contents of the stack pointer register are not altered. Example: XTHL 8085 Instruction Set Page 3 Push register pair onto stack PUSH Reg. pair The contents of the register pair designated in the operand are copied onto the stack in the following sequence. The stack pointer register is decremented and the contents of the highorder register (B, D, H, A) are copied into that location. The stack pointer register is decremented again and the contents of the low-order register (C, E, L, flags) are copied to that location. Example: PUSH B or PUSH A Pop off stack to register pair POP Reg. pair The contents of the memory location pointed out by the stack pointer register are copied to the low-order register (C, E, L, status flags) of the operand. The stack pointer is incremented by 1 and the contents of that memory location are copied to the high-order register (B, D, H, A) of the operand. The stack pointer register is again incremented by 1. Example: POP H or POP A Output data from accumulator to a port with 8-bit address OUT 8-bit port address The contents of the accumulator are copied into the I/O port specified by the operand. Example: OUT F8H Input data to accumulator from a port with 8-bit address IN 8-bit port address The contents of the input port designated in the operand are read and loaded into the accumulator. Example: IN 8CH 8085 Instruction Set Page 4 ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTIONS Opcode Operand Description Add register or memory to accumulator ADD R The contents of the operand (register or memory) are M added to the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the addition. Example: ADD B or ADD M Add register to accumulator with carry ADC R The contents of the operand (register or memory) and M the Carry flag are added to the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the addition. Example: ADC B or ADC M Add immediate to accumulator ADI 8-bit data The 8-bit data (operand) is added to the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the addition. Example: ADI 45H Add immediate to accumulator with carry ACI 8-bit data The 8-bit data (operand) and the Carry flag are added to the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the addition. Example: ACI 45H Add register pair to H and L registers DAD Reg. pair The 16-bit contents of the specified register pair are added to the contents of the HL register and the sum is stored in the HL register. The contents of the source register pair are not altered. If the result is larger than 16 bits, the CY flag is set. No other flags are affected. Example: DAD H 8085 Instruction Set Page 5 Subtract register or memory from accumulator SUB R The contents of the operand (register or memory ) are M subtracted from the contents of the accumulator, and the result is stored in the accumulator. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the subtraction. Example: SUB B or SUB M Subtract source and borrow from accumulator SBB R The contents of the operand (register or memory ) and M the Borrow flag are subtracted from the contents of the accumulator and the result is placed in the accumulator. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the subtraction. Example: SBB B or SBB M Subtract immediate from accumulator SUI 8-bit data The 8-bit data (operand) is subtracted from the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the subtraction. Example: SUI 45H Subtract immediate from accumulator with borrow SBI 8-bit data The 8-bit data (operand) and the Borrow flag are subtracted from the contents of the accumulator and the result is stored in the accumulator. All flags are modified to reflect the result of the subtracion. Example: SBI 45H Increment register or memory by 1 INR R The contents of the designated register or memory) are M incremented by 1 and the result is stored in the same place. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. Example: INR B or INR M Increment register pair by 1 INX R The contents of the designated register pair are incremented by 1 and the result is stored in the same place. Example: INX H 8085 Instruction Set Page 6 Decrement register or memory by 1 DCR R The contents of the designated register or memory are M decremented by 1 and the result is stored in the same place. If the operand is a memory location, its location is specified by the contents of the HL registers. Example: DCR B or DCR M Decrement register pair by 1 DCX R The contents of the designated register pair are decremented by 1 and the result is stored in the same place. Example: DCX H Decimal adjust accumulator DAA none The contents of the accumulator are changed from a binary value to two 4-bit binary coded decimal (BCD) digits. This is the only instruction that uses the auxiliary flag to perform the binary to BCD conversion, and the conversion procedure is described below. S, Z, AC, P, CY flags are altered to reflect the results of the operation. If the value of the low-order 4-bits in the accumulator is greater than 9 or if AC flag is set, the instruction adds 6 to the low-order four bits. If the value of the high-order 4-bits in the accumulator is greater than 9 or if the Carry flag is set, the instruction adds 6 to the high-order four bits. Example: DAA 8085 Instruction Set Page 7 BRANCHING INSTRUCTIONS Opcode Operand Description Jump unconditionally JMP 16-bit address The program sequence is transferred to the memory location specified by the 16-bit address given in the operand. Example: JMP 2034H or JMP XYZ Jump conditionally Operand: 16-bit address The program sequence is transferred to the memory location specified by the 16-bit address given in the operand based on the specified flag of the PSW as described below.

Before the transfer, the address of the next instruction after CALL (the contents of the program counter) is pushed onto the stack. Example: CALL 2034H or CALL XYZ Call conditionally Operand: 16-bit address The program sequence is transferred to the memory location specified by the 16-bit address given in the operand based on the specified flag of the PSW as described below. Before the transfer, the address of the next instruction after the call (the contents of the program counter) is pushed onto the stack. Example: CZ 2034H or CZ XYZ Opcode Description Flag Status CC Call on Carry CY = 1 CNC Call on no Carry CY = 0 CP Call on positive S = 0 CM Call on minus S = 1 CZ Call on zero Z = 1 CNZ Call on no zero Z = 0 CPE Call on parity even P = 1 CPO Call on parity odd P = 0 8085 Instruction Set Page 9 Return from subroutine unconditionally RET none The program sequence is transferred from the subroutine to the calling program. The two bytes from the top of the stack are copied into the program counter, and program execution begins at the new address. Example: RET Return from subroutine conditionally Operand: none The program sequence is transferred from the subroutine to the calling program based on the specified flag of the PSW as described below. The two bytes from the top of the stack are copied into the program counter, and program execution begins at the new address.

The contents of H are placed as the high-order byte and the contents of L as the low-order byte. Example: PCHL Restart RST 0-7 The RST instruction is equivalent to a 1-byte call instruction to one of eight memory locations depending upon the number. The instructions are generally used in conjunction with interrupts and inserted using external hardware. However these can be used as software instructions in a program to transfer program execution to one of the eight locations. The addresses are: Instruction Restart Address RST 0 0000H RST 1 0008H RST 2 0010H RST 3 0018H RST 4 0020H RST 5 0028H RST 6 0030H RST 7 0038H The 8085 has four additional interrupts and these interrupts generate RST instructions internally and thus do not require any external hardware. These instructions and their Restart addresses are: Interrupt Restart Address TRAP 0024H RST 5.5 002CH RST 6.5 0034H RST 7.5 003CH 8085 Instruction Set Page 11 LOGICAL INSTRUCTIONS Opcode Operand Description Compare register or memory with accumulator CMP R The contents of the operand (register or memory) are M compared with the contents of the accumulator. Both contents are preserved . The result of the comparison is shown by setting the flags of the PSW as follows: if (A) < (reg/mem): carry flag is set if (A) = (reg/mem): zero flag is set if (A) > (reg/mem): carry and zero flags are reset Example: CMP B or CMP M Compare immediate with accumulator CPI 8-bit data The second byte (8-bit data) is compared with the contents of the accumulator. The values being compared remain unchanged. The result of the comparison is shown by setting the flags of the PSW as follows: if (A) < data: carry flag is set if (A) = data: zero flag is set if (A) > data: carry and zero flags are reset Example: CPI 89H Logical AND register or memory with accumulator ANA R The contents of the accumulator are logically ANDed with M the contents of the operand (register or memory), and the result is placed in the accumulator.

However no operation is executed. Example: NOP Halt and enter wait state HLT none The CPU finishes executing the current instruction and halts any further execution. An interrupt or reset is necessary to exit from the halt state. Example: HLT Disable interrupts DI none The interrupt enable flip-flop is reset and all the interrupts except the TRAP are disabled. No flags are affected. Example: DI Enable interrupts EI none The interrupt enable flip-flop is set and all interrupts are enabled. No flags are affected. After a system reset or the acknowledgement of an interrupt, the interrupt enable flipflop is reset, thus disabling the interrupts. This instruction is necessary to reenable the interrupts (except TRAP).

Why accumulator is called a special register?
Accumulator contains one of the operand for any operation which is performed by the ALU.The result of the operation is stored in the Accumulator. thus it is a special register
Which register is used as a local variable?
accumulator
What the Difference between accumulator and register?
The accumulator is a general register that holds a value. It is also a special register that can be used as the target for the result of various arithmetic or logical computations. For instance, if you wanted to add two numbers, you could load the first into the accumulator, add the second to the accumulator, and then store the accumulator where wanted. The instruction register is an internal register that holds the value of the instruction opcode in order for the 8085 to decode and process the instruction. While it is shown on the Intel block diagram for the 8085, it is not directly accessible by the running program - it is for internal use only by the 8085.
What is an accumulator in microprocessor?
the accumulator is an 8-bit register then is part of the arithmetic/logic unit(ALU). this register is used to store to store 8-bit data and to perform arithmetic & logical operation. the result of an operation is stored in the accumulator. the accumulator is also identified as register A.
Is accumulator a general purpose register?
Yes and no. You can use it as a general purpose register, but if you do that, you will lose the ability to perform arithmetic and logical computations and comparisons that would normally use the accumulator.
Can you add two registers directly in assembly language?
Yes, as long as one of them is the accumulator... ADD BX ... adds BX to AX and leaves the result in AX.
Which instruction is used to clear accumulator if content is already there in that accumulator?
