If the result of the subtraction is a negative number (Mi<Su or Mi+1, Mi
<Su+1, Su), the result is output as a 2’s complement. The Carry Flag (CY) will
turn ON. To convert the 2’s complement to the true number, a program which
subtracts the result from 0 is necessary, as an input condition of the Carry
Flag (CY). The Carry Flag turning ON thus indicates that the result of the sub-
traction is negative.
Note 2’s Complement
A 2’s complement is the value obtained by subtracting each binary digit from 1
and adding one to the result.
Example: The 2’s complement for the binary number 1101 is as follows:
1111 (F hex) – 1101 (D hex) + 1 (1 hex) = 0011 (3 hex).
Example: The 2’s complement for the 4-digit hexadecimal number 3039 is as
follows:
FFFF hex – 3039 hex + 0001 hex = CFC7 hex.
Accordingly, the 2’s complement for the 4-digit hexadecimal value “a” is as fol-
lows:
FFFF hex – a hex + 0001 hex = b hex.
And to obtain the true number “a” hex from the 2’s complement “b” hex:
a hex + 10000 hex – b hex.
Example: To obtain the true number from the 2’s complement CFC& hex:
10000 hex – CFC7 hex = 3039 hex.
