UM001604-0108 Instruction Description
175
Decrement
Syntax
DEC dst
Instruction Format
Operation
dst ← dst–1
The contents of the destination operand are decremented by one.
Address modes R or IR can be used to specify a 4-bit Working Register. In this format, the
destination Working Register operand is specified by adding
1110b (Eh) to the high nibble
of the operand. For example, if Working Register R12 (CH) is the destination operand, then
ECh is used as the destination operand in the Op Code.
Example 1
If Working Register R10 contains 2A%, the statement:
DEC R10
Op Code: 00 EA
leaves the value 29h in Working Register R10. The Z, V, and S Flags are cleared.
Example 2
If Register B3h contains CBh, and Register CBh contains 01h, the statement:
DEC @B3h
Op Code: 01 B3
leaves the value 00h in Register CBh. The Z Flag is set, and the V and S Flags are cleared.
