The 8085 Programming Model

The 8085 microprocessor has 6 general purpose 8-bit registers (B, C, D, E, H, L), an 8-bit accumulator, a flags register, a program counter, and a stack pointer. It has 74 instructions grouped into 5 categories that can be 1, 2, or 3 bytes depending on the operand type. The 8085 supports 4 addressing modes and 4 data formats, and the meaning of data is determined by the user rather than the microprocessor itself.

The 8085 Programming Model

The 8085 Microprocessor
• The 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor made by Intel.

• It has:
– 6 general purpose registers
– An accumulator Accumulator Flags
B C
– A flag register D E
H L
– A stack pointer Program Counter
Stack Pointer
– A program counter

The 8085 Programming Model
• The Registers
– The 6 general purpose registers are 8-bits wide
each.
• They are to be used as needed.
• They are called B, C, D, E, H, and L.
• They can be used as 16-bit register pairs: BC, DE, HL.

– The accumulator is technically part of the ALU.


• It is 8-bits wide.
• It is one of the inputs to every ALU operation.
• The result of any operation is always stored in it.
• It is known as Register A.

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 3


The 8085 Programming Model
– The ALU includes five flag flip-flops that are set or
reset after an operation.
• They are Z (zero), CY (carry), S (sign), P (parity) and AC
(Auxiliary Carry).
• These flags are used when the microprocessor tests for
data conditions.
• These make up the Flags Register.

The 8085 Instructions
– Since the 8085 is an 8-bit device it can have up to
28 (256) instructions.
• However, the 8085 only uses 246 combinations that
represent a total of 74 instructions.
– Most of the instructions have more than one format.

– These instructions can be grouped into five


different groups:
• Data Transfer Operations
• Arithmetic Operations
• Logic Operations
• Branch Operations
• Machine Control Operations

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 5


Instruction and Data Formats
• Each instruction has two parts.
– The first part is the task or operation to be
performed.
• This part is called the “opcode” (operation code).

– The second part is the data to be operated on


• Called the “operand”.

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 6


Operand Types
• There are different ways for specifying the
operand:
– There may not be an operand (implied operand)
• CMA
– The operand may be an 8-bit number (immediate
data)
• ADI 4FH
– The operand may be an internal register (register)
• SUB B
– The operand may be a 16-bit address (memory
address)
• LDA 4000H

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 7


Instruction Size
• Depending on the operand type, the instruction
may have different sizes. It will occupy a different
number of memory bytes.
– Typically, all instructions occupy one byte only.
– The exception is any instruction that contains
immediate data or a memory address.
• Instructions that include immediate data use two bytes.
– One for the opcode and the other for the 8-bit data.
• Instructions that include a memory address occupy three
bytes.
– One for the opcode, and the other two for the 16-bit
address.

Instruction with Immediate Date
• Operation: Load an 8-bit number into the
accumulator.

– MVI A, 32
• Operation: MVI A
• Operand: The number 32
• Binary Code:
0011 1110 3E 1st byte.
0011 0010 32 2nd byte.

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 9


Instruction with a Memory Address
• Operation: go to address 2085.

– Instruction: JMP 2085


• Opcode: JMP
• Operand: 2085
• Binary code:
1100 0011 C3 1st byte.
1000 0101 85 2nd byte
0010 0000 20 3rd byte

Addressing Modes
• The microprocessor has different ways of
specifying the data for the instruction. These are
called “addressing modes”.

• The 8085 has four addressing modes:


– Implied CMA
– Immediate MVI B, 45
– Direct LDA 4000
– Indirect LDAX B
• Load the accumulator with the contents of the memory
location whose address is stored in the register pair BC).

Data Formats
• In an 8-bit microprocessor, data can be
represented in one of four formats:
• ASCII
• BCD
• Signed Integer
• Unsigned Integer.

– It is important to recognize that the


microprocessor deals with 0’s and 1’s.
• It deals with values as strings of bits.
• It is the job of the user to add a meaning to these strings.

Microprocessors & Interfacing Dr. Bassel Soudan 12


Data Formats
• Assume the accumulator contains the following
value: 0100 0001.
– There are four ways of reading this value:
• It is an unsigned integer expressed in binary, the
equivalent decimal number would be 65.
• It is a number expressed in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)
format. That would make it, 41.
• It is an ASCII representation of a letter. That would make
it the letter A.
• It is a string of 0’s and 1’s where the 0th and the 6th bits
are set to 1 while all other bits are set to 0.

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
