Instruction Data Format and storage
Instruction Format of 8085:
• Each Instruction Format of 8085 and Data Format of 8085
microprocessor has specific information fields. These
information fields of instructions are called elements of
instruction.
• Operation code : The operation code field in the instruction
specifies the operation to be performed. The operation is
specified by binary code, hence the name operation code or
simply opcode. For example, for 8085 processor operation code
for ADD B instruction is 80H.

• Source/destination operand: The source/destination operand
field directly specifies the source/destination operand for the
instruction.
• In the Instruction Format of 8085, the instruction MOV A, B has B
register contents as a source operand and A register contents as a
destination operand because this instruction copies the contents of
register B to register A.
Conti…
• Source operand address : We know that the operation
specified by the instruction may require one or more operands.
The source operand may be in the 8085 register or in the
memory.
• Many times the Instruction Format of 8085 specifies the
address of the source operand so that operand(s) can be
accessed and operated by the 8085 according to the
instruction.
Conti…
• Destination operand address : The operation executed by the
8085 may produce result. Most of the times the result is stored
in one of the operand. Such operand is known as destination
operand.
• The Instruction and Data Format of 8085 which produce result
specifies the destination operand address.
• In 8085, the destination operand address for instruction INR M
is given by HL register pair because INR M instruction
increments the contents of memory location specified by HL
register pair and stores the result in the same memory location.
Conti…
• Next instruction address : The next instruction address tells
the 8085 from where to fetch the next instruction after
completion of execution of current instruction. For BRANCH
instructions the address of the next instruction is specified
within the instruction. However, for other instructions, the next
instruction to be fetched immediately follows the current
instruction. For example, in 8085, instruction after INR B follows
it. The instruction JMP 2000H specifies the next instruction
address as 2000H.
Instruction Formats:
• The Instruction Format of 8085 set consists of one, two, and three-byte
instructions. The first byte is always the opcode; in two-byte
instructions, the second byte is usually data; in three-byte instructions
the last two bytes present address or 16-bit data.
• 1. One byte instruction :
• For Example : MOV A, B whose opcode is 78H which is one byte. This
Instruction and Data Format of 8085 copies the contents of B register
in A register.
Conti…
• 2. Two byte instruction :
• For Example : MVI B, 02H. The opcode for this instruction is
06H and is always followed by a byte data (02H in this case).
This instruction is a two byte instruction which copies immediate
data into B register.
3. Three byte instruction :
• For Example : JMP 6200H. The opcode for this instruction is
C3H and is always followed by 16 bit address (6200H in this
case). This instruction is a three byte instruction which loads 16
bit address into program counter.
Opcode Format of 8085:
• The 8085A microprocessor has
8-bit opcodes. The opcode is
unique for each Instruction and
Data Format of 8085 and
contains the information about
the operation, register to be
used, memory to be used, etc.
• The 8085A identifies all
operations, registers and flags
with a specific code. For
example, all internal registers are
identified as shown in the Tables
2.1(a) and 2.2(b).
• Similarly, there are different codes for each opera are identified
as follows :
Note : DDD defines the destination register, SSS defines the source register and DD defines the
register pair.
Data Format of 8085 Microprocessor:
• The operand is an another name for data. It may appear in
different forms :
• Addresses
• Numbers/Logical data and
• Characters
• Addresses : The address is a 16-bit unsigned integer ,number
used to refer a memory location.
• Numbers/Data : The 8085 supports following numeric data
types.
Conti…
• Signed Integer : A signed integer number is either a positive
number or a negative number. In 8085, 8-bits are assigned for
signed integer, in which most significant bit is used for sign and
remaining seven bits are used for Sign bit 0 indicates positive
number whereas sign bit 1 indicates negative number.
• Unsigned Integer : The 8085 microprocessor supports 8-bit
unsigned integer.
• BCD : The term BCD number stands for binary coded decimal
number. It uses ten digits from 0 through 9. The 8-bit register of
8085 can store two digit BCD
