D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
ACCA or
0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
ACCB

§ ACCA or ACCB is an 8-bit general-purpose register


§ Usage of ACCA or ACCB:
- Stores temporary data from memory or I/O devices.
- Stores result of all arithmetic and logic operations.

4
1.2.1 Accumulator A and B

Ø Example:

1. LDAA $8000 ; loads contents of memory


Acc.A ; location $8000 into ACCA

2. ADDA #$25 ; ACCA = ACCA + $25

3. STAA $9000 ; store result of ACCA into


; memory location $9000

ACCA ACCB
§ ACCD represents Accumulator D
§ ACCD = (ACCA + ACCB) to form a 16-bit register.
§ ACCA represents most significant byte (MSByte)
§ ACCB represents least significant byte (LSByte)

INDEX-X or INDEX-Y register

§ Index register X and Y are two 16-bit registers.


§ Use in Index Addressing Mode.
Ø Examples:
LDX #$1000 ;loads $1000 into IX
LDAA $10,X ;content of memory ($10+IX)
;load to ACCA.

register

§ Stack occupied a small section in RAM memory.


§ Stack Pointer (SP) register:
- a 16-bit register.
- contains address of the stack.
§ Application of stack :
- used in subroutine and interrupts operations
- storing the content of all the CPU registers.

1.2.5 Program Counter (PC)

BITS 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 PC

§ Program Counter (PC) is a 16-bit register .


§ PC contains the address of next instruction to be executed.
§ Example:
If PC = $0100, then ,
CPU starts executing from memory location $0100
onwards.

1.2.6 Condition Code Register ( CCR )

D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
S X H I N Z V C CCR

§ CCR is an 8-bit register.


§ Bits 7 to 0 labeled as S X H I N Z V C respectively.
§ H N Z V C bits indicate:
- the status of last arithmetic or logic operation.
§ S X I bits indicate:
- the masking bits.

10
Condition Code Register

bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 bit 0

S X H I N Z V C CCR

Stop Disable Carry


X Interrupt Mask Overflow
Half Carry Zero
I Interrupt Mask Negative

11
§ N (Negative) bit
N = “1” - result of last arithmetic or logical operation
is negative.
- accumulator contents (MSB = “1”)
N =“0” - whenever the result is positive.
- accumulator contents (MSB = “0”)

Ø Example, if following instructions are executed:


(1) LDAA #$7F ; N = “0” , MSB = “0”
(2) LDAB #$80 ; N = “1” , MSB = “1”

12
§ Z (Zero) bit
Z = “1” - result of last operation produces zero.
- accumulator content = $00
Z = “0” - result of last operation greater than zero.
- accumulator content == $00

Ø Example, if the following instructions are executed


(assuming ACCA and ACCB = $00 in the beginning):
(1) ADDA #$00 ; Z = “1” ,ACCA= $00
(2) ADDB #$06 ; Z = “0” ,ACCB > $00

13
§ C (Carry) bit
C =“1” addition or subtraction produces
a carry or a borrow.
C =“0” after addition or subtraction
no carry or no borrow.
*Note: C-bit also used in shift and rotate instructions.

ØExample, if the following instructions are executed:


LDAA #$80
ADDA #$90 ; C=“1”
WAI ; bit-7 carries “1” to C-bit

14
§ V(Overflow) bit
V =“1” result is wrong, after
an addition or subtraction using
2’s complement signed number.

V =“0” result is correct, after


an addition or subtraction using
2’s complement signed number.

15
§ H(Half-carry) bit
H =“1” an 8-bit addition, produces
a carry from bit-3 to bit-4.
H =“0” an 8-bit addition, produces
no carry from bit-3 to bit-4.

ØExample, following instructions are executed:


“1”
LDAA #% 0011 1000
ADDA #% 0011 1010 ; H=“1”
WAI ;(after adding)
