Opcode Operand Meaning Explanation

The contents of the register or memory are

Add register or
R added to the contents of the accumulator
ADD memory, to the and the result is stored in the accumulator.
M
accumulator
Example − ADD K.

The contents of the register or memory &

Add register to the M the Carry flag are added to the contents
R
ADC accumulator with of the accumulator and the result is stored
M in the accumulator.
carry
Example − ADC K

The 8-bit data is added to the contents of

Add the immediate to the accumulator and the result is stored in
ADI 8-bit data the accumulator.
the accumulator
Example − ADI 55K

The 8-bit data and the Carry flag are

Add the immediate to added to the contents of the accumulator
ACI 8-bit data the accumulator with and the result is stored in the accumulator.
carry
Example − ACI 55K

The instruction stores 16-bit data into the

Reg. pair, Load the register pair register pair designated in the operand.
LXI
16bit data immediate
Example − LXI K, 3025M

The 16-bit data of the specified register

Add the register pair pair are added to the contents of the HL
DAD Reg. pair
to H and L registers register.

Example − DAD K

SUB R Subtract the register The contents of the register or the memory
or the memory from are subtracted from the contents of the
M
the accumulator accumulator, and the result is stored in the
accumulator.

Example − SUB K

The contents of the register or the memory

Subtract the source & M the Borrow flag are subtracted from
R
SBB and borrow from the the contents of the accumulator and the
M accumulator result is placed in the accumulator.

Example − SBB K

The 8-bit data is subtracted from the

Subtract the contents of the accumulator & the result is
SUI 8-bit data immediate from the stored in the accumulator.
accumulator
Example − SUI 55K

The contents of register H are exchanged

with the contents of register D, and the
Exchange H and L contents of register L are exchanged with
XCHG None
with D and E the contents of register E.

Example − XCHG

The contents of the designated register or

R Increment the the memory are incremented by 1 and
INR register or the
their result is stored at the same place.
M memory by 1
Example − INR K

The contents of the designated register

Increment register pair are incremented by 1 and their result
INX R
pair by 1 is stored at the same place.

Example − INX K

The contents of the designated register or

R Decrement the memory are decremented by 1 and their
DCR register or the
result is stored at the same place.
M memory by 1
Example − DCR K

DCX R Decrement the The contents of the designated register

register pair by 1 pair are decremented by 1 and their result

is stored at the same place.

Example − DCX K

The contents of the accumulator are

changed from a binary value to two 4-bit
BCD digits.

If the value of the low-order 4-bits in the

accumulator is greater than 9 or if AC flag
Decimal adjust is set, the instruction adds 6 to the low-
DAA None
accumulator 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
