Z80 Instruction Set

First, You are required to look for Z80 assembler to try some of the programs.

Z80 Includes all 8080 instructions

Contains 158 instructions

Instruction Opcode + Operands

4

Instruction Format

Z80 instruction ranges from one byte to four bytes

Opcode varies from 1 to 2 bytes

Operands varies from 1 to 2 bytes

Operands could be memory locations , registers, I/O addresses , or memory addresses

5

Z80 instruction Set

Instructions can be classified to:

• 1-Byte instructions

• 2-Byte instructions

• 3-Byte instructions

• 4-Byte instructions 6

Z80 Instruction Set

1-Byte Instruction • The opcode and operands are included in the same

byte

• Ex. • LD A,B load B into A 01 111 000

• LD 01 , A 1111 , and B 000

• For microprocessor internal usage only

7

Z80 Instruction Set 2-Byte Instructions

• Opcode First Byte

• Operand Second Byte

• Ex. LD B, 32H 0000 0110 (6H) byte 1

0011 0010 (32H) byte 2

Load the “32” value into register B

• LD B is represented by 6H and the second byte includes “32”

8

Z80 Instruction Set

3-Byte Instruction • One byte Opcode and two bytes Operand

• Ex. LD BC, 2080H

• 0000 0001 byte 1 LD BC (01H)

• 1000 0000 byte 2 80H

• 0010 0000 byte 3 20H

• Loads the value “2080H” into the two registers B and C

• Note: the load starts by the low order byte followed by the high order 80 then 20

9

Z80 Instruction Set

4-Byte Instructions• Not compatible with 8080 instruction set

• 2 bytes Opcode and 2 bytes Operand

• Ex. LD IX , 2000H• Loads the contents of memory address 2000H into IX register

first 2 bytes

• 0000 0000 (00H) byte 3

• 0010 0000 (20H) byte 4

10

Z80 Instruction Set

Instruction Categories • Data Copy transfer or load operations

• Arithmetic Operations

• Logic Operations

• Bit Manipulation

• Branch Operation

• Machine Control Operations

11

Data Copy Instructions From register to register

• LD A, B load B into A Specific 8 bits data into register

• LD B, 32H load “32” into B Specific 16 bits data into register

• LD HL , 2080H loads “2080” into HL From memory location into register

• LD A , (2010H) load the content of memory location (2010) into A

12

Data Copy Instructions

From input port into accumulator

• IN A, (01H) loads data from Input port (01H) into A

From the accumulator into the o/p port

• OUT (07H) , A Copy the contents of register into stack memory

• PUSH BC pushes the BC contents into the stack Exchange data between registers

• EXX BC, DE

13

Arithmetic Instructions

Addition • Any thing is only added to the contents of the

accumulator.

• No two registers such as B and C can be added directly.

• ADD A, B add B to the accumulator contents

• ADD A, 97H add the value “97H” to the accumulator content

14

Arithmetic Instructions

Subtraction

• A register or memory location can be subtracted from the accumulator

• SUB C subtract the contents of register C from the accumulator

• SUB 47H subtract the “47H” from the accumulator

Note : the accumulator in implied in the instruction

15

Arithmetic Instructions

Increment / Decrement

• Add / Sub1 to/from the contents of any register or memory location

• INC B

• DEC BC

16

Arithmetic Instructions

1’s and 2’s Complement • Do 1’s or 2’s complement on the contents of the

accumulator

• CPL one’s complement changes the 1 to 0 and vice versa

• NEG 2’s complement (subtract the accumulator from 0 ) or (Add 1 to the 1’s complement )

17

Group Activity

Write a simple program to load the values “53H” and “F5H” into registers A and B respectively. Then add the two registers?

LD A, 53H LD B, F5H ADD A, B

18

Logic Operations

Logic Functions

• AND , OR , XOR with the accumulator contents

• AND B Shift and Rotate

• RLC B rotate left the contents of B Compare

• Compare the contents of a register with the contents of a register or memory location O/p will be shown on the flag register

• CP B

19

Bit Manipulation

Bit Test

• Verify the value of a bit (0 or 1)

• Z flag is the indicator

• BIT 7, B check bit 7 in register B

Bit Set/Reset

• SET 5, B

• RES 2, B

20

Branching Operations Jump

• Change the program sequence

• JP C, 2050H if C flag is set , jump to 2050H Call/Return

• Change the program sequence by calling or returning from a sub routine

• CALL 2050H call subroutine located at 2050H Restart

• Memory are divided into pages

• Page number 00 marked with 8 restart locations

• RST 28H restart from the location 28H

21

Machine Control Operations

Control the Z80 operations

HALT Suspend execution of an instruction

22

25

Addressing Modes A way of specifying the operand or pointing to a data location

• Immediate

• Immediate extended

• Register

• Implied

• Register indirect

• Extended

• Relative

• Indexed

• Bit

• Page Zero

26

Implied Memory Addressing Registers H and L hold the address of the memory location being

accessed

• LD C, (HL) loads C register with the contents of the memory location pointed by HL registers

27

Addressing Modes

Immediate • A byte following the opcode is the operand

• LD B, 97H 97h id the value

Immediate Extended • Two bytes following the opcode are the operands

• LD BC , 3040H 3040H are the 2 bytes value

Register • Operand is a register

• LD A, B B is a register

28

Addressing Modes

Implied

• The opcode imply one of the operands

• AND B AND implies that the operation is done on the accumulator contents

Register Indirect

• Register holds the memory location address

• LD B, (HL) the memory location is stored in H and L registers

Extended • The two bytes following the opcode specify the jump location

• JP 208H

29

Addressing Modes

Relative

• The oprand indicates the placement of the next instruction to be executed relative to the current one

• JR 14H from the next instruction , jump 20 locations Indexed

• Use one of the index registers to define the next instruction location

• INC (IX+10H) if IX contains 2080H , then the content of the memory location (2080 +10) will be incremented

30

Addressing Modes

Bit • Used with bit operations

• SET 7, B

Page zero • Reset operation

• RST 28H

16-bits into register pair

• LD HL, 1840H LD rx, 16-bit immediate extended addressing mode , loads
